The guard against nested pointer chains searched every sublist for a
`*', including the ones that hold a type of their own.
A function type with a pointer parameter, while the same type with an int
parameter passed. (* [char 4]) was let through as well and came out
as `vector-ref char 4 * p'.
A `*' inside an array or a function type belongs to that type, so the
search stops there. What the flat conversion cannot express is now
named: a fn type is a function pointer already, and a pointer to an
array is not supported.
Parameters of a function type are walked without their names. C writes
a parameter name into a declarator and a type has none, so fmt-c prints
whatever it is handed there as a type: `(s (* char))' came out as
`char(*) s'.
fmt-c printed a nameless array declarator's #f into the C, which showed
up in these parameters.
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.
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"
Spent like 10 minutes trying to understand why my fn pointer is being
fucked up in test case. Turned out I was missing return type, and
whole fn pointer type fall through down to defaut case.
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.
