fl's Issues

Lots of "shift/reduce conflicts"

Must handle subprogram_decl as compound_type

e.g.:

type
  string = array of char;
  transformation = function(x : string): string;      

Find out about compound data types & "type" declarations as specified in project pdf

Specifically, should code such as the following be taken into consideration
and parsed to C code accordingly ?

"
type
real_array: array of real;
string: array of char;
double_int_ptr_array: array of array of array[4] of integer;
var
x: real_array;
y: array of string;

function (a: double_int_ptr_array): array of array of real_array;
procedure(x, y: string; z: real_array);
"

How to implement type decls

Idea: Implementation might be similar to @defmacro translation in .l file

Param array decl of fixed len

return array of fixed len

How is one of the pdf examples: "function f3 (x: real): array [10] of real;" supposed to be parsed to C?

Test edge-case recursive array declarations parsing

E.g.
" kiallo_a, b: array[12][54] of array of array[9] of char; " compiles to
" char* kiallo_a[9][12][54], b[9][12][54]; "

Is it the correct matching ?

Lots of "

Token spacing issue

E.g.: "2mod3" yields:
token INTEGER: 2
Line: 1 token: 259 Text='2'
token IDENTIFIER: mod3
Line: 1 token: 258 Text='mod3'

Find out about Syntax Errors

Specifically:

1. Where/when exactly should they be printed?
2. How/where is yyerror_count incremented?

Var necessary

SYNTAX ERROR

E.g.

 program hello;

@defmacro message "HelloWorld!\n"

 begin
   writeString(message) 
 end.
