blt / core_erlang

A Language.C style library for parsing both Erlang and Core Erlang

Language.Erlang.Core

This is a very rough start at providing a parser for both Erlang and Core Erlang. It doesn't do much but parse a few elements of the syntax, but there is a quick-check suite in place and maybe they'll pass?

Ambitions

Provide a full parser suite for both Erlang and Core Erlang in the style of Language.C. Progress has been slow because I haven't much time, but I tinker around here and there. :)

core_erlang's Issues

Make sure Erlang _and_ Core Erlang support is clear in library structure.

At the moment, I think, only Erlang is supported in-library. The two languages are rather close and, in fact, Core is more straightforward to parse / generate.

ErlInteger and ErlFloats are not parsed correctly.

See #7.

Integrate TravisCI

The test suite should be automatically run by TravisCI.

Arbitrary TupleGen always produces 3-tuples.

Consider the comments on https://github.com/blt/core_erlang/pull/10/files#diff-afbffda3fd69779f910d43ea945bf9c8R25.

Ensure the library is built to have the same name as the repository.

While tinkering, this library has gone through some name changes. The current in-project name seems to be core_erl; this should be core_erlang.

Enable -Werror

In a build fix for #8 it was noted that the fix has warnings related to unused variables and a lack of types. This project should not build if such things are emitted by the compiler.

All warnings should be errors and every available warning should be enabled.

ErlTuples are not parsed correctly.
