- Added `extern_test.sh` for testing `simple_extern.t`
- Added new symbol types `EXTERN`, `EXTERN_EFUNC` and `EXTERN_EVAR` and related back-mappings
Parser
- `parseFuncDef()` now accepts a default argument (set to `true`) on whether to expect a body for a function or not, in the not case expect a semi-colon - this helps with extern support
- Likewise because `parseFuncDef(bool wantsBody = true)` is called by `parseTypedDeclaration()` we have added same argument to `parseTypedDeclaration(bool wantsBody = true)`
- Ensure we pass the parameter from `parseTypedDeclaration()` into `parseFuncDef(bool)` in function definition case
- Implemented `parseExtern()` for extern support
- `parse()` supports `SymbolType.EXTERN` now
Data
- Added `ExternStmt` to represent the parser node derived from a call to `parseExtern()`
- The `Entity` parser node type now has an `isExternal()` flag to know if the entity is marked for `extern` link time or TLang internal time (default)
Typechecker
- Implemented `processPseudoEntities(Container)` which loops through the given container and finds all extern statements and then extracts those nodes, parents them to the given container and marks them as external (pseudo-handling support)
- Added first call inside `beginCheck()` to be a call to `processPseudoEntities(modulle)`
Dependency
- Added useless no-op check for `ExternStmt` - it does nothing
DGen
- In `emitFunctionSignature()`, prepend the string `extern ` to the signatur if the given `Function` entity is marked as external (`isExternal()` is true)

- Implemented `parseDoWhile()` for do-while loops
- Implemented `parseFor()` for for-loops
- Implemented `parseStatement()` for singular statement parsing
- `parseStatement()` can now have the terminating symbol specified, defaults to `SymbolType.SEMICOLON`
- `parseName()` and `parseAssignment()` now also accept a terminating symbol parameter as per `parseStatement()`'s behavior
- `parseBody()` now makes multiple calls to `parseStatement()` for singular Statement parsing (dead code below still to be removed)
- Removed commented-out unittests
- Unittests that read from files now have the file source code embedded
- Added unit test for while loops, for-loops (unfinished) and some other smaller language constructs (roughly 70% coverage)

DGen

- Added a TODO for formatting BinOpInstr's `transform()` a little more aesthetically nicer
- Added code emitting support for if statements (the `IfStatementInstruction` instruction) (see issue #64)
- Updated `emitEntryPoint()` to only emit testing C code for the correct input test file
Parser
- `parseIf()` now returns an instance of IfStatement which couples multiple `Branch` objects consisting of `Statement[]` and `Expression`
- Ensured that each `Statement` of the generated `Statement[]` from `parseBody()` for a given `Branch` is parented to said Branch using `parentToContainer()`
- Ensured each generated `Branch` in `Branch[]` is parented to the generated `IfStatement` using `parentToContainer()`
- `parseBody()` now adds to its `Statement[]` build-up array the generated `IfStatement` from the call to `parseIf()`

Dependency
- Added a default `toString()` to the DNode class which prints `[DNode: <entity toString()]`
- Added a TODO and debug print related to issues #9
- Disabled InitScope.STATIC check for now as it caused issues with if statement parsing (probably due to VIRTUAL being default and therefore skipping if statment processing) - issue #69
- Cleaned up handling of Entity type `Variable` (variable declarations) - removed repeated code
- Undid the VarAss->(depends on)->VarDec, reverted back to VarDec->(depends on)->VarAss, fixed by #66 (and closes it and #11)

Test cases
- Added new test case testing nested if statements (`nested_conditions.t`)

Mapper

CodeEmitter
- Re-worked CodeEmitter class to use a single so-called "selected queue"
- Added methods to move back and forth between said "selected queue", get the length, etc.
- Remove old queue-specific methods
DGen
- Use the new CodeEmitter "selected-queue" functionality
- Emit function definitions now supported
Exceptions
- Added this keyword
Check
- Added support for SymbolTYpe.OCURLY and SymbolType.CCURLY to `getCharacter(SymbolType)`
Data
- Added a `hasParams()` method to the Function entity type
TypeChecker
- Added support for emitting function definitions (required DNode.poes = [] (cleaning), codeQueue cleaning etc.)
- Added `getInitQueue()` method to make a copy of the current "scratchpad" `codeQueue`
- Build up a copy of the global queue now (make a copy similiar to what we did for `getInitQueue()` but inline)
- Added a debug print
Dependency
- Added a FIXME note for issue #46
- Added a TODO relating to `static DNode[] poes`
Test cases

- `expect(SymbolType, Token)` will now use the new SyntaxError constructor
Data
- Added `ReturnStmt` type for return statement support
- VariableAssignment entity now has its Context object set to the current Context (of the Variable being declared) (so this is a declare assignment case only (so far)) (fixes#36)
TypeChecker
- Extract the Context object from the VariableAssignment entity and then set it as the Context for the VariableAssigmnetInstr instruction (fixes#36)
VariableAssigmnentInstr
- The `emit()` method will now emit the assignment code
Check
- Added `getCharacter(SymbolType)` which maps a SymbolType to a maths operator (WIP)
- Ensure we set the parentOf all Statement's inside a Function (definition) whilst parsing - to prevent a runtime assertion (I believe, well all fixed now)
Added check for standalone variable assignments to error (crash) the compiler when the variable has not yet been declared.
I still need to clean up the codegen and add back in typechecking, the thing has become weird with many weird function calls, but I can do it in one function call to be honest (and that makes most sense)
Standalone variable assignments are now in the dependency tree and therefore make it into the typechecking/codegen phase (of which code to handle them has also been added)
