so this is a cool thing - more gplex stuff
-
i got gplex working with Parsley and it's a joy because I don't have to use gplex's grotty input files directly - they're ugly but flexible - a bit like perl is. now I can generate them from my simple, elegant XBNF format. Not only that, my generated code extends gplex lexers to implement IEnumerable so you can for each over them just like you can with Rolex lexers. That also means they'll work with the backtracking enumerator I posted. And I added in Rolex's "block end" feature that makes it super easy to match things like C block comments, SGML/HTML/XML markup comments and CDATA sections, etc - anything with static multicharacter termination sequences. I really rocked today. I got this code off the ground, and in some ways what it does is more complicated than Rolex, so it was almost like making a whole new lexer/tokenizer generator. Not only that I got a new (unicode enabled!) Slang tokenizer up powered by Gplex and i intend to add backtracking to Parsley so it can parse C# (i hope!)
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

When do you write Parsnip? :laugh:

Maybe my next one. I am given to coming up with silly names for my code.

Next, you need an Elvis Parsley :wtf:
