- Corrected import path for `compiler.lexer` -> `compiler.lexer.core`
Parser
- Corrected import path for `compiler.lexer` -> `compiler.lexer.core`
TypeChecker
- Corrected import path for `compiler.lexer` -> `compiler.lexer.core`
Compiler
- Moved configuration code outside of it
- Renamed to `compiler.core`
DGen
- Check for any object files to link in, if so append them to the `cc` call
Lexer
- Moved from `compiler.lexer` to `compiler.lexer.core`
Configuration
- Overhauled configuration system
Mapper
- Added definition to `SymbolMappingTechnique`
Command-line
- Migrated to new configuration system
- Migrated `SymbolMappingTechnique` to Mapper module
- Added support for specifying object fils to link in using the `-ll` flag`
Tests
- Added `file_io.c` for testing `simple_extern.t` with `extern_test.sh`
- Added `extern_test.sh` for testing `simple_extern.t`
- Added comments and removed TODO for now complete feature on `parseTypedDeclaration()`
Dependency
- Added support for external variable symbols to `transform()` for declarations, assignments and variable expressions
Test cases
- Updated extern evar test case to new symbol name that wouldn't clash
- Added assignment usage and expression usage
- Added `allowVarDec` and `allwFuncDef` to `parseTypedDeclaration()` as default arguments with `true` as their default values
- If `allowFuncDef` is true then parse a function
- If `allowVarDec` is `true` then allow a variable definition
- If `allowVarDec` is true but we have an assignment and `wantsBody` is false then throw an error
- NOTE: A fix for `parseTypedDeclaration()` is needed for this to work
Tests
- Updated `simple_extern.t` to include an `extern evar`
- 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)
- In `emitFunctionDefinitions()` do not emit a function body at all (or anything, no signature) if the `Function` is marked as external (`isExternal()` is true)
- Added entry point test for `simple_extern.t`
