Created Issue: Support an Initialize rule

jeffmoser — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 22:17:15 GMT

This would provide something similar to a grammar constructor.

Created Issue: Automatically use reflection if no type information can be inferred

jeffmoser — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 11:28:21 GMT

In the cases where we don't know the type and the user does a method call, convert it to a reflection based method call so that it will work (albeit with a perf penalty)

Created Issue: Add syntax sugar for statement expressions.

jeffmoser — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 11:26:50 GMT

Currently I have to use Sugar.Statement and Sugar.StatementCons. Instead, I'd like to be able to just do { x(); y(); z(); } for both cases and have it automatically return the value of z if any or null.

Created Issue: Support something like a "host" keyword that allows verbatim host language usage.

Something like the ability to say

host {
int localVariable;
int Add(int x, int y) { return x + y; }
}

would be helpful in creating grammars without having to resort to using hacks around it with things like Set and duplicated code.

Commented Issue: Create Full C# 3.0 Grammar

This would serve as the basis of a recognizer. That alone would be nice. However, the really nice part is that once this is present, you can do things like add syntax sugar (e.g. think Spec#) to a language by creating a derived grammar (or using a foreign grammar) that translates C#++ down to C#.

An interesting side-effect is that if this were in place, then OMeta#'s libraries could then be written in C#++ if it helped simplify things.

Created Issue: Support Host Grammar Syntactic Sugar Grammar

jeffmoser — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 13:11:38 GMT

Syntax Sugar grammars will translate expressions that the host language doesn't support into ones they do. This will simplify trees for example in C# because there isn't a great native syntax.

Created Feature: Create Silverlight 2.0 Workspace

jeffmoser — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 16:34:57 GMT

Figure out a way to embed a C# compiler along with OMeta# in a Silverlight 2.0 application to allow for OMeta# experimentation within a web browser, much like OMeta/JS.

Bonus points for syntax highlighting.

Created Feature: Support OMetaOptimizer for Unnecessary And & Or Elimination

jeffmoser — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:25:09 GMT

The OMeta compiler by itself produces inefficient syntax trees that have "And"'s and "Or"'s even when there is just one item. This is wasteful and inefficient.

Design will come from http://jarrett.cs.ucla.edu/ometa-js/#OMeta_Optimizer
