This is follow-up by Brian to his earlier proposal
(http://wiki.dlang.org/Review/std.d.lexer). This time proposed
module focuses instead on generic lexer generation as discussed
in matching voting thread.
Docs:
http://hackerpilot.github.io/experimental/std_lexer/phobos/lexer.html
Code:
https://github.com/Hackerpilot/Dscanner/blob/master/stdx/lexer.d
Example topics to evaluate during review:
- Feasibility of overall design and concept
- Quality of documentation
- Consistency with existing Phobos modules
- Overall quality of implementation
Initial review will end on March the 8th.
No criticism should stop this module being accepted, as we do not
have any other lexer in the runtime anyway. Therefore I suggest
we accept std.lexer until a better solution comes up. Naturally
anyone should be encouraged to provide a better solution by
submitting a pull request to Phobos developers...
So far I haven't seen a better lexer for D source than Brian's
std.lexer. If anyone has, please let me know.
