Goldie: Intended Future Features
In no particular order (bold is high priority):
- Lex/parse from a stream
Better error handling/reporting/recovery/api(Coming in v0.3, already in trunk)- Better API for manipulating parse trees once they're built
Tool to optionally generate statically type-checked classes for each type of token in a grammar(Coming in v0.3, already in trunk)- Auto-generated API reference
- Improved performance
Better Unicode handling (BOMs, fix char/wchar inconsistencies in API)(Coming in v0.3, already in trunk)- More error checking on .cgt loading, and an optional "lenient loading" mode
- Compile .grm direct to .cgt without GOLD
- Enhancements to the base GOLD capabilities
- Optional alternate to .cgt format
- Support for "Composed" grammars (ex: C with preprocessor, C# with XML-doc-comments, PHP/Classic ASP with HTML)
- More types of parsing than just LALR
- Modes to help analyze/step-through lexing and parse
- Switch to D2 (After Tango is ported to D2)
- Support for "indentation increase/decrease" virtual terminals
