Delay

[Etienne M. Gagnon]

Hi all,

I missed the Summer deadline for releasing a beta version of SableCC 4.
I am in the process of implementing semantic verifications. The task is
relatively complex (more than I thought), as it turns out that it is
difficult to separate the verifications into nice separate steps, as I
usually do. As a result, I have to build a web of heterogeneous  nodes
and apply overall analyses to extract semantics and detect errors. It's
not that difficult, but it's a lot of boring code to write.

In parallel, Arnaud Gody, a student contributor, is working on adding
various back-ends ObjectMacro. He has started to work on C and C++
back-ends. You can track his progress in the repository (initial draft)
and in various tickets. Robust memory management in C is not that easy,
so he is currently working on fixing the initial C back-end for
robustness. Don't hesitate to step in and help him with the C back-end
so that he can then get to finalize the C++ back-end and start working
on new ones.

Etienne

Thanks for the update ^_^.  As much as I would like to have SableCC in my hands,
 I (for one) am glad you are taking the time to get it done right
before putting it out the door.

Cheers,
Pete
