digitalmars.D - Patches for DMD2 interface generation: cleanup, bugfixes and prettyprinting
- Norbert Nemec (16/16) Aug 22 2010 Hi there,
- Walter Bright (2/4) Aug 22 2010 Thanks, Norbert!
- Sean Kelly (2/21) Aug 29 2010 Properly indented .di files? Best patch ever.
- Norbert Nemec (4/25) Aug 30 2010 Don't expect anything fancy at this point: just indent by two spaces on
Hi there,
I just spent most of this weekend digging into the DMD compiler code and
came up with a set of patches that might be of interest:
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4713
All started out with the attempt to create .di interface files for
phobos2. The resulting .di files were too ugly to read and even DMD
itself refused to eat them.
Trying to fix the problem, I started digging deeper and deeper. Finally,
the bugs were fixed, the resulting .di files are now correctly indented
and readable and the compiler code itself has even become a bit cleaner
and more compact.
It would be good if these patches would find their way into DMD soon.
The bulk of the changes are trivial but quite nonlocal, so merging will
quickly become difficult...
Greetings,
Norbert

I just chose a convention that works reasonably well for most code...Hi there, I just spent most of this weekend digging into the DMD compiler code and came up with a set of patches that might be of interest: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4713 All started out with the attempt to create .di interface files for phobos2.
