sextest resolves #+ and #- itself -- it reads the program and prints
what survives to sexc -- so a flag spelling it does not recognise
decides which branch gets compiled
C has two namespaces and the database had one. A typedef of a tag's
name wiped it.
Tags, i.e. struct, enum and union, share one namespace; they move to a
table of their own. A name resolves the way C does: the ordinary
identifier first, the tag when that leads nowhere.
While resolving a typedef, the target was taken apart with cadr
whatever it was, so (typedef points (¤ point 4)) reported point's
fields as its own -- an array of four points claiming to be a point,
and a macro reaching through it with v->x. Only a name and
(struct|union|enum NAME) name a type now.
A dropped datum is replaced by whatever follows it, but what follows
may be the end of the file or the paren closing the list we are
in. Hand the token back to the caller instead: read-list closes its
list with it and the toplevel loop stops.
A `;' comment between a guard and the form it guards was also taken for
the guarded datum, so the form stayed unconditional and the guard did
nothing. Skip comments when reading the guard.
comment-form? was defined three times over; it moves to utils.
'#+' and '#-' introduce conditional compilation: the form that follows
is kept only when the feature expression is true, and otherwise is read
and thrown away. An expression is a feature name, or and / or / not
of them.
They are read time, not compile time.
Default features are the host's software-version, software-type and
machine-type as CHICKEN reports them, plus what --features flag adds.
compile-to-file returned process-wait's values and main dropped them,
so cc errors were printed, but then main compiler exited 0.
Also cleanup tmp C files when compilation failed.
Implement pub support for enums, and also anonymous enums declared
in-place.
Also give the cdr of a `pub' form the form's own location, so a
error about what follows `pub' can say where it was written
For source-level debug. Add --line-directives option, defaulted to
statement. Disabled when used with -C. Explicit non-none value
overrides disabling when -C is present
Also rename macros to sex-macros, module-system to sex-modules for
clarity, uniformity, and to avoid name clashes with Chicken's
units/modules named "macros" and "modules"
Types, fns and vars are now written in another, better, more intuitive
and readable way.
Types:
"pointer to const char" is "* const char"
"array of pointers to volatile int" is "[* volatile int]"
Read left to right
Vars (as well as fn args, struct fields):
(var name type)
(struct vec3 ((x float) (y float) (z float))
(fn vec3-add ((v1 vec3) (v2 vec3)) vec3 ...)
Also fns are now have return types after arg list.
* is now must not be attached to any type name (or variable for that
matter)
Introducing Sex SEMantic ENgine: the semen.
Also split reader to other file (it can be replaced in the future).
Macro expansion inside Sex code doesn't work yet, and it must be done
in semen, not during fmt-c generation as before.
