Recent work: 1. The "kind" switch in checker.check is one of those small things that makes a surprisingly big difference. It replaces several switches, and is mostly self documenting. 2. The prototype can report many useful data. You could call it another version of the ShowData class. 3. Early this morning I failed in the first attempt to generalize do_assn_to_c. I'll try again today. 4. It's still unclear how useful this tool will be. Two details relate to this question: - The code now suppresses the creation of entries for "special" classes, those classes for which the use has supplied type information. The idea is that the user has specified the public interfaces for those classes, so inferences should use no other data. This suppression also simplifies dumps of symbol tables. - Otoh, the code *must *handle *injected ivars*, that is, ivars that are set from outside the class. Handling injected ivars is essential for handling the original bug. Without this kind of knowledge the user would have to supply way too much information. Furthermore, reporting injected ivars is likely to be useful, if for no other reason that it would suggest other knowledge that the user could supply automatically. 5. Recent changes work around parsing errors in the regex's. There is no way that regex can do a full, accurate job of parsing python. I am considering creating a version of the prototype that uses the ast in a more traditional way. It will be interesting see how big an impact this switchover will have. Otoh, the switchover is considerably less important than inference-related work, so I may restrain myself a little longer. 6. There is a weird bug in the rewritten ProjectUtils.project_files method. When first reloading Leo it can fail to find any files in the 'leo' project. As I write this, I see that the present code is brain dead. For leo, it imports leo.core and uses leo.core.__file__ to find the base directory. But Doh, that's just g.app.loadDir! *Summary* - assn_to_c should be generalized. That will allow the prototype to report injected ivars. - The resolve code should be simplified. - It's nearing time to transition to ast-based code.
