I heard you like code in your code

But can it generate itself?

It had been awhile since I pulled up the code, but sure enough when I did, I found a Deslanged.Export.cs file in the Deslang project. Such files are created by Deslang itself. So I did use it to build itself. :-D

Cool stuff honey. The idea of code writing code is one of the first mind blowers that made me want to write code. Because you guys will like this if you haven't seen it, even though it's likely I found it from here somehow. This is in the same "codeception" vein. This image displays the CRC value of the file which contains it. [^]

I think we can make Templates and use them in our code again and again. In this way, we can make programming easy.

Okay honey and all - I might come across harsh here, but why in the heck would you want to do this? I guess maybe if you wanted your own compiler? I can sort of see that. Context: I live in the land of really old code. Supporting legacy systems is my bread and butter. It's put multiple children through college, paid off the cars, and fed me. Cute and fancy scare me - it's okay, I'm an old ****. How would one support this? What problem is trying to be solved? Why would it make my life eaiser? For the record, I'm not a computer scientist, I'm an EE in embedded systems. So, I've never had a class in compiler theory or the more traditional CS studies. Keep your explanation simple :)

Basically because I wanted templatizable source code that A) I could visit and transform B) I could render out to other .NET languages. Now I'm going to get into the weeds a bit, if not for you then for other readers. Follow along as you can, but it's not critical that you understand this stuff - anyway: A and B are what Microsoft .NET's CodeDOM allows you to do. It's an abstract syntax tree with objects representing things like CodeConditionStatement for "if" and CodeVariableDeclarationStatement for declaring a local variable. You can take that tree and render it to C# or VB.NET out of the box. Or other languages if it has a 3rd party provider for it - any language that can work in ASP.NET has a sporting chance of working with this because they both use the CodeDOM to do their magic. The trouble with the CodeDOM is it doesn't have a parser. You have to build those trees by hand, and they are extremely verbose. So I wrote one. It parses a CodeDOM compliant subset of C#6 and builds that codedom tree from what you type in. Viola! I have templatizable, transformable, language agnostic code that now I can write in (almost) C# (C# can express more than the CodeDOM can so I had to limit what I could support). That code is VB.NET code. That code is C#. That code is potentially F# code, etc. The trouble with *that* is C# doesn't give you type information, and you need that information to fully manifest what you parsed. Otherwise what you get back is ambiguous. I resolve those ambiguities when I cook that C# subset into a CodeDOM tree. It takes time. Deslang (my code generator generator) takes that code, does all the cooking, and produces code that can reinstantiate that code tree instantly on demand. Everything was resolved up front, and the result turned into code that produces a code tree that can render code. :laugh: For future transformation or rendering to one of many .NET languages.

Perhaps a concrete example will make my previous reply clearer. Rolex: Unicode Enabled Lexer Generator in C#[^] This is a command line tool that takes many regular expression based rules and generates a DFA lexer in one of many .NET languages. You can add 3rd party languages. (I'm hands off that part, but like IronPython probably has one). VB.NET and C# are supported on any system. Instead of writing the complicated code to do lexing in CodeDOM AST directly by hand coding
new statements.Add(new CodeVariableDeclarationStatement(new CodeTypeReferenceExpression(typeof(int)), "foo", new CodePrimitiveExpression(0)));I can simply doint foo = 0;and it will create those big verbose objects on my behalf. So I wrote my TableTokenizer using that. I use Deslang to cook it into a codedom tree as a build step. Rolex then transforms that tree during runtime to include the computed DFA table used to make the lexer work (it's a series of int arrays basically, but could be anything)Check out my IoT graphics library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx And my IoT UI/User Experience library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/uix
