strip_formatting suffers from some edge failure with what looks to be escaped character literals (not entirely sure).
I've decided to not remove formatting from unvalidated function bodies since I plan to support parsing its content properly.
However expression values for a statement will fail to have their formatting removed with this.
Since I don't plan to parse those anytime soon, I'll have to fix any edge cases for those at least..
Wanted to make parser implementation easier to sift through, so I emphasized alphabetical order more.
Since I couldn't just strip whitespace from typenames I decided to make the parse_type more aware of the typename's components if it was a function signature.
This ofc lead to the dark & damp hell that is parsing typenames.
Also made initial implementation to support parsing decltype within a typename signature..
The test failure for the singleheader is still a thing, these changes have not addressed that.
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).
- Renamed macro gen_time to GEN_TIME
- Moved scanner and editor to their own headers, I'm going to consider them extensions.
- I'm preparing to setup the library to build on multiple compiler platforms: clang, gcc, msvc.
I'm rewritting it the way I'd like to learn it.
- I want to use csv parsing heavily with the library so I'm just going to add it to the scanner.
- Globaly memory allocator moved to regular gen header/source as its something really just made for the library.
- Some small refactors to macros
- The parser was updated to support tokenizing preprocessor directives.
- The purpose is based off intuition that it will be required for the scanner.
Also upated the gencpp.refactor script with almost all relevant symbols.
gen.undef.macros.hpp also filled out
Ready to complete gencpp related todos left in implementation...
token_fmt returns StrC now. Did some fixes so it can properly function now!
Lots of changes to the Array non-parsed implementation.
It shows no errors in the edtitor static analysis, however I haven't tried it yet.
Unfortunately have some friction with how I would like to set it up like with everything in C++...
Can't inherit from ArrayBase to provide the common members to all Array defs, without introducing constructor complexity.
I may be open to using constructors in the future, depends on how I feel when trying out the context pattern used in jai and odin...
