4 Things are proceeding very nicely on this end, though I did not make as
5 much progress as I would have liked last week.
6
7 As of Sunday, an build system (using autotools) has been created (though
8 all it does is make the changes to the grammar file that are required to
9 generate the antlr headers and generates them). Also, a class that wraps
10 the parser, lexer, and tree has been written with some basic functionality.
11
12 I have a system implemented for builtins, but I want to convert it to
13 use classes instead of the mess of function pointers I have now. That
14 should make things cleaner and easier to use.
15
16 I sent emails to both the portage developers and bash upstream and got
17 some input from both. Poring through man bash yielded even more small
18 missing features that I added to my backlog of work.
19
20 I never got around to implementing the symbol table, but that's on the
21 agenda for this week.
22
23 So, for this week it boils down to lots of little fixes (missing
24 features, things like that), implement the plan that came out of
25 communications with my mentor for the builtins, and add a symbol table.
26 After that, I'm going to start looking at making the antlr grammar
27 easier to read/understand (with comments, better names, etc).
