I need to change it so that they all use one big arena allocation for the initial. This can be done when the global allocator is changed to a growable arena.
This isn't the last step though everything in the main project directory that isn't md files needs to be generated only.
Can't do that till testing is robust enough...
Adding the pragma once and includes the files broke compilation, still diagnosing why.
- Some string functions were moved to the cpp, still need to do some more evaluation of it and the containers...
- Added support for forceinline and neverinline to parsing (untested)
- Added support for specifiers in operator cast such as explicit, inline/forceinline/neverinline, etc.
- Before it only support const.
- Still need to support volatile.
- Forceinline was not supported at all for tokenization, fixed that.
There were multiple issues with comment and newline lexing.
Extended printing functions to support Strings with %S flag (captial 'S').
Allows for length detection. Also made it so that precision for strings is the string length.
Also fix for HashTable<>::rehash_fast not having finished implemenation...
The typedef fix is a sort of hack (like how parsing the rest of the language feels like tbh...).
I might make a def_typedef_fn to make it clearer how to define function typedefs using the upfront interface.
Looking into properly dealing with empty lines...
I want to preserve the text's empty lines in the AST for serialization purposes (perserve formatting for gapes between definitions).
Don't want to introduce the possibility of it breaking though, so will have to ignore empty_lines in a general way (if they are in a bad spot).
Attempted to cover that by having TokArray::current() auto-skip empty lines and eat as well if the type doesn't match.
Isolating large macros to their own directory (components/temp).
- Plan is to remove them soon with proper generation.
Added additional component files, separating the old data_structures header for a set of ast headers.
Header_end also had its inlines extracted out.
Necessary to complete the macro isolation.
ZPL parser dependencies were removed from the core library along with builder, its now generated in bootstrap as pare of making a gen_builder set of files.
Singleheader will be changed in next few commits to reflect this as well (By making builder deps and components a conditional option).
Tests are most likely all broken for now.
Removing the gen. namespace from the files for components, dependencies, and file_processors.
They are only necessary if the include directory is transparent, and in my case those are not.
Made a docs directory. I'm offloading information from the main readme to there along with additional informationn I end up elaborating on down the line.
Enum tables were moved to their own directory (project/enums).
Library will not compile for now. Major refactor occuring with parsing related components.
I will most likely need to refactor some of the components & dependencies files to get the desired gneration implementation the way I want.
Specficially I want to be able to eliminate macros I'm using for enums and common patterns for implmeentation of the data structures.
When it comes to the cpp files, I may leave those alone as the macros largely help ith readability.
Replacing those macros is expensive and most likely not worth it.
The macros under consideration with replacing using the library bootstrap are:
* Define_Types
* Define_Operators
* Define_Specifiers
* GEN_Define_Attribute_Tokens
* Define_CodeType
* Using_Code
* Define_TokType
* def_constant_spec ?
* Helper Macros for def_**_body functions ?
* AST unallowed types case macros?
(The last three I'm unsure about as they work fine, and neeeding the debugger steps there is a rare scenario...)
The enums could be manually generated and have its fields derived from a CSV (which is what genc is currently doing).
This would allow the user to specify custom attribute macros as well with greater ease.
I may maually inline ProcessModuleFlags, as its not even necessary as any specific symbol with a module flag will only use the export value. Import is only used on modules themselves (from what I can tell).
The Parser::lex function could be offloaded to its own file in case the user wants to swap the entire thing out.
(Most likely may want to for various purposes)
The problem with extracting any definitions out of a component file currently is that will lead to splintering that componnet to multiple other components.
This is necessary as the proper scanner is not implemented yet (only a reduimentary scan_file proc is made so far).
