2024-03-08feat: add type representation in vm packageMarc Vertes
Type and Value types in vm package are now used in place of reflect.Type and reflect.Value. It allows to remove the dependency on reflect for parser and compiler packages. The main purpose of Type is to provide a solution to implement recursive structs, named types, interfaces and methods, despite the limitations of Go reflect. The goal is to provide the thinnest layer around reflect.

2023-11-24parser: fix allocation of local variablesMarc Vertes
A 'New' instruction is added in VM to manage initialisation of typed variables in the stack. The instantiated type symbols are now added to global data. Accessing and setting values by address is now working.
2023-11-20parser: add pointer support (work in progress)Marc Vertes
This is incomplete because the scalar variables are not addressable right now. To be addressable they must be represented as reflect values, not interfaces.
2023-11-20parser: add support for unary operatorsMarc Vertes
2023-11-20parser: add support for slices and arrays, parse index expressionsMarc Vertes
2023-11-17parser: support selector expression to get / set struct fieldsMarc Vertes
The structures are reresented by reflect values. New instructions `Field` and `Vassign` have been added to the VM to assign reflect values and access struct fields.
2023-11-15parser: hande const declarationsMarc Vertes
Only symbols are produced, no bytecode is emitted. The constant expressions are evaluated at compile time using the stdlib package go/constant. The parser handles implicit repetition of the last non-empty expression list. The iota symbol is reset to 0 and incremented for each line of a const block. To be done in a next commit: type conversions.
2023-11-10parser: implement support for var declarationsMarc Vertes
The full Go syntax is supported, blocks or line, mutiple comma separated variables, assignments. In local and global frame.
2023-11-07parser: implement switch statementMarc Vertes
A VM instruction `EqualSet` has been added to preserve the left operand on the stack in case of failure, to allow efficient multiple tests on the same value. Both the pattern 'if/else if' and the classical case clauses have been implemented.
2023-11-03feat: add support for control flow operators in expressionsMarc Vertes
Logical operators `&&` (and), `||` (or) are now parsed in expressions. The control flow tokens (labels, conditional jumps) are added accordingly.
2023-10-21parser: implement operator precedence rules in expressionsMarc Vertes
2023-10-14parser: implement label, goto and continue statementsMarc Vertes
2023-10-13parser: do not allocate VM data for labelsMarc Vertes
2023-10-13parser: include absolute paths in symbolsMarc Vertes
2023-10-12parser: implement 'for' statementMarc Vertes
2023-10-12move to a direct byte code compiler (#8)Marc Vertes
* chore: refactor to keep only the new parser and bytecode vm * scanner: remove Token.value field * scanner: remove scanner.kind field * chore: move language specification in lang package This avoid a cyclic dependency in scanner_test which can now use the golang/GoSpec language specification for Go. * clean code * scanner: export scanner fields Also parser now generate function calls, including externals. * chore: fix lint issues * parser: handle strings * wip * parser: implement support for 'if, else, else if' statements Resolving labels in the compiler still in progress. * parser: support if statements, improve compiler * improve handling of functions * improve support of local variables * scanner: trim leading and trailing spaces * fixes to make fibonacci work * parser: improve README, fix function parameters parsing
