This week I’ve made an important change to bash function implementation. |
| 2 |
So far we can generate correct metadata for 7927 ebuilds. Here’s what I |
| 3 |
have done: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
supported not equals in arithmetic expansion |
| 6 |
supported array offset expansion like ${*:1:2} and ${a[@]:1:2} |
| 7 |
improved the implementation for bash functions |
| 8 |
supported shopt -p |
| 9 |
supported declare -p |
| 10 |
supported printf |
| 11 |
supported $# |
| 12 |
fixed case statement with empty body |
| 13 |
removed unnecessary abstractions in the implementation of arithmetic |
| 14 |
expansion |
| 15 |
filed new stories from the output of instruo |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
In the coming week, I’ll: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Support bash redirection for all kinds of commands |
| 20 |
support $- |
| 21 |
fix problems with built-in test |
| 22 |
support brace expansion |
| 23 |
cache parsing failures |
| 24 |
support indirect reference in arithmetic expansion |
| 25 |
support escaped characters in double quoted string |
| 26 |
fix bugs in arithmetic expansion |
| 27 |
continue working on the story for the CI server |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Till now, we have supported most of the language features that are |
| 30 |
needed for metadata generation. But there are a lot of small problems |
| 31 |
that we have to handle. The most difficult part is to improve the parser |
| 32 |
grammar. Even a small change to the grammar could break a lot of things |
| 33 |
because the grammar is already complicated. So our progress may be |
| 34 |
slowed down when I have to deal with parser grammar improvement. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Hope we can get more stuff fixed in the next couple of weeks. |
