working with JCForLoop

[Omkar Raut]

Hi

I am trying to modify the for loop for parallelization as part of school
project i.e. when the body of for loop can be parallelized I will put some
threads which do the partial iterations of loop and at the end combine the
result. Something like below:
*Original statements:*
int[] a = new int[8];
for(int i=0;i <8; i++){ a[i] = i;}
*After my modification:*
int[] a = new int[8];
class ForThread extends Thread { ... define constructor to take array a,
define run method to execute for loop for partial range i.e. a[0] - a[3] &
a[4] - a[7] }
ForThread t1 = new ForThread(a, 0, 3);
ForThread t2 = new ForThread(a, 4, 7);
t1.start();
t2.start();

My approach:
For this I am changing the AST to include a new Node. I am trying to modify
the JavacParser.java at method parseStatement(). When in encounter case FOR:
I will return a JCBlock object which has the thread definition and the
following statements to execute threads.

Am I going in the right direction? Or I should define a new JCParForLoop
object instead of putting JCBlock for the parallelization?

Thank you!
