I've started to make some minor mods to the DMD parser to
tailor it to my own taste, but there is no reason to do double
work, even if experimental. So I wonder which patches are
available or in the works by others?
I'm currently working on the following mods (not thoroughly
tested yet):
in : templatename‹params›
out: templatename!(params)
Why dou want to turn it into C++'s style? it will slow down the
compiler time because we need to look at symbol table the type of
templatename because it might be a comparasion using < operator
like this: a<b
in : templatename«params»
out: templatename!"params"
Why quote a paramter as string?
in : a := expr
out: auto a = expr
is this declaration? following (fortran?) rules: variable used in
assignment without a previously declaration has implicit type?
this isn't very good.
in : a :== expr
out: immutable a = expr
And plan to continue with:
in : √x+y
out: sqrt(x) + y
in : a•b
out: a.opInner(b) // dot product, maybe some other name?
in : #arr;
out: arr.length //or perhaps something more generic?
What are you working on and what patches do you have?
I didn't find this one so bad but these symbols are hard to type
on usual keyboard...
