TLA+/PlusCal generators from source code

[Deividas Bražėnas]

Hello,
I'm writing a master's thesis about generating TLA+ specifications from Elixir source code. I'm currently doing a literature analysis but having trouble finding any information about existing tools that would convert the source code to the TLA+ specification - I only find the tools that generate the source code from specs.

Maybe you know any tools with this functionality?

Thanks!

Or maybe you have some other information that may be helpful for me :) In the current approach, I'm generating simple TLA+ specs from the AST of Elixir code.

My coauthors and I did a big literature review for "eXtreme Modelling in Practice" a couple years ago, and I don't recall seeing any code-to-TLA+ research.

Thank you! Will definitely take a look!

I knew this TLA transmutator for a while, but sadly it works in an opposite direction - spec to code.

What you are trying to do is similar to the existing PlusCal to TLA+ translation, but with a much more complicated source language — Elixir. Getting familiar with how PlusCal works will elucidate a lot of things.
