Mostly just cleanup and renaming of certain stuff (mostly in dependencies).
* Changed uw and sw to usize and ssize.
* Removed zpl_cast usage throughout dependencies
* No longer using GEN_DEF_INLINE & GEN_IMPL_INLINE
* header_start.hpp renamed to platform.hpp for depdendencies header.
- Incrased size of the defines_map_arena to 256KB
- Various fixes for the parser
- Various fixes for code serialization
- Fix for is_equal member func in Code types
- Fixes for hasthable container
- Added are_equal static func to String type for use against StrC
- Added starts_with functions to String type
- package_release.ps1 now packages all docs (forgot to update it with last release)
Now its more contexually rich to the ast type, however I need to hookup tokens from parsing to the AST. There needs to be a way for the debug string to lookup the token and provide the contexual line.
Can either pass it ( TokArray* toks ) from the parser on failure (or `CodeFile`)..
Technically there is more than enough room for another Token* ptr. I could add another and specifiers would still have at minimum 14 slots before needing to extended to next specs.
**************... yeah
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.
Both bootstrap and singleheader now name the files the same as the library's default.
Output now directed toward gen directory for the corresponding dir (project, singleheader, or test)
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).
Interfaces are assumed to have the public access specifier for their content (if its a class definition)
Started to prepare to segement library code into more files (Less scrolling, need for bootstrapping a tailored version + single header support anyway).
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.
- Added support for anonymous structs.
- Gave Token_Fmt::token_map its own static memory.
- Minor natvis fix for CodeBody
- Renamed ESpecifier::Static_Member to just Static (acts as a general use case) specifier option
- Setup the lex token array with a configurable arena allocator.
Two major things left before V0.3-4:
- Attribute and Module parisng support with base case test
- AST serializtaion strings get a dedicated slag allocator.
Pretty much have a working library now... Albiet with problably quite a few hidden bugs in parsing.
Next steps are to start converting library to use its own Arena, Pool, Array, HashTable types. And either work on zpl dependency gutting or making a more robust set of tests.
- Made a better global allocator for the process.
- Some small fixes to gen.hpp, removed clear_code_memory as I'm designing this library to for now never free any memory.
- Fixes to memory usage for cached strings
- Added missing verification for attributes in some upfront constructors. Added attribute param for def_type procedure.
- Started to use internal and global keywords in gen.cpp for associated definitions
- Progress toward getting the parsing constructors to support operator definitions.
- There was an *attempt* to get parse_type to support parsing function types. Its not tested yet....
- Its not an nice setup, there is no validation of parameters, problably will add that in the future.
