Now I started another branch, that is not as "intrusive" as my other
branches. The AltParser branch makes multiple parsers available, each of
which sits in its own class derived from TParser. The parsers register
themselves for specific file types and the compiler selects an
applicable one, depending on the extension of the source file. The
original parser is not affected and will be used for all file types
without an registered parser.
For debugging purposes a compiler option (-m2) has been added, that
selects an alternative parser, if one is registered. This allows to test
the new parser by adding OPT=-m2 to the Make commandlines. Currently a
message is output whenever the alternative OPL parser is used to compile
an file.
In the first round the parser modules are cloned into the parserOPL
unit. The original parser units will export their helper procedures, for
use by every parser. The currently inlined semantic code will be moved
out of the parser procedures, in multiple steps, and shall end up in its
own unit(s). The extracted procedures shall represent logical tasks,
that occur in every parser, e.g. dealing with declarations or common
actions on program/module/subroutine/block begin and end.
Any comments?
