I need to manually review these as the changes have various errors that are difficult to diagnose why. I took a break to do handmade hero and now a bit rusty.

AST Types Documentation
While the Readme for docs covers the data layout per AST, this will focus on the AST types avaialble, and their nuances.
Body
These are containers representing a scope body of a definition that can be of the following ECode
type:
- Class_Body
- Enum_Body
- Export_Body
- Extern_Linkage_Body
- Function_Body
- Global_Body
- Namespace_Body
- Struct_Body
- Union_Body
Fields:
Code Front;
Code Back;
Code Parent;
StringCached Name;
CodeT Type;
s32 NumEntries;
The Front
member represents the start of the link list and Back
the end.
NumEntries is the number of entries in the body.
Parent should have a compatible ECode type for the type of defintion used.
Serialization:
Will output only the entries, the braces are handled by the parent.
<Front>...
<Back>
Attributes
Represent standard or vendor specific C/C++ attributes.
Fields:
StringCached Content;
Code Prev;
Code Next;
Code Parent;
StringCached Name;
CodeT Type;
Serialization:
<Content>
While the parser supports the __declspec
and __attribute__
syntax, the upfront constructor ( def_attributes ) must have the user specify the entire attribute, including the [[]]
, __declspec
or __attribute__
parts.
Comment
Stores a comment.
Fields:
StringCached Content;
Code Prev;
Code Next;
Code Parent;
StringCached Name;
CodeT Type;
Serialization:
<Content>
The parser will perserve comments found if residing with a body or in accepted inline-to-definition locations. Otherwise they will be skipped by the TokArray::__eat and TokArray::current( skip foramtting enabled ) functions.
The upfront constructor: def_comment
expects to recieve a comment without the //
or /* */
parts. It will add them during construction.
Class & Struct
Fields:
CodeComment InlineCmt; // Only supported by forward declarations
CodeAttributes Attributes;
CodeType ParentType;
CodeBody Body;
CodeType Prev; // Used to store references to interfaces
CodeType Next; // Used to store references to interfaces
Code Parent;
StringCached Name;
CodeT Type;
ModuleFlag ModuleFlags;
AccessSpec ParentAccess;
Serialization:
// Class_Fwd
<ModuleFlags> <class/struct> <Name>; <InlineCmt>
// Class
<ModuleFlags> <class/struct> <Attributes> <Name> : <ParentAccess> <ParentType>, public <ParentType->Next>, ... <InlineCmt>
{
<Body>
};
You'll notice that only one parent type is supported only with parent access. This library only supports single inheritance, the rest must be done through interfaces.

<Specs> <Parent->Name>( <Params> ); <InlineCmt>
// Constructor
<Specs> <Parent->Name>( <Params> ) <InlineCmt>
: <InitializerList>
{
<Body>
}

// Enum
<ModuleFlags> <enum or enum class> <Name> : <UnderlyingType>
{
<Body>
};
