TODO List

Now

Parsing

• parseStruct
  • Actually parse body
    • Only allow variables declarations
      • Allow assignments I guess
    • Maybe function definitions too (D-kinda thing)
    • Add constructor support (initializes values)
      • I guess this is nicer when you have functions in the struct too to make initialization code more modular
  • Allow nested structs
    • Removed, why? That would be weird?
• Note to self, parseClass and parseStruct should be way more specific and not just call parseBody
  • As currently one can then use static outside of these contexts
  • parseStruct
    • Adding missing support for static in it
  • parseClass
    • Add this

Typechecking

• Dependency generation
  • Classes declared at the module level should be marked as static in parse()
    • parseClass() should not use
  • Structs declared at the module level should be marked as marked seen in parse() (not in parseBody() <- this is a note we don't do this)
  • Functions (?) declared at the module level should be marked seen as static in parse() (not in parseBody() <- this is a note we don't do this)
  • Variables declared at the module level should be marked as marked seen in parse() (not in parseBody() <- this is a note we don't do this)

Future

• Make the compiler a library
  • Remove exit from expect and rather throw an error
  • Split it up into two projects with...
    • Library
    • Frontend interface
  • Publish to dub
