Compiler questions
I am about to start writing a compiler which I hope will be as easy to
use as Euphoria but generate executables that run at asm speed. This
project seems quite ambitious (though that never stopped me before) and
I would like to get some views from the list on the following questions.
I have some opinion about most of them but a variety of concisely
expressed arguments will help me definitely
decide each point.
Regards,
Mike
1. What sort of numerical data types should be there? Only integer
(signed 32-bit) and real (double precision floats)?
2. Can restrictions be placed on bitwise operations with real types?
3. Would 1-d arrays and lists of character strings be enough?
4. Should it support cdecl?
5. Type conversion - implicit or explicit?
6. Pass by reference - when is this needed?
7. What sort of notation could be used to access arrays? structures?
8. Forward references?
9. Control structures other than: if, for, while ?
10. Error recovery?
11. Anything else?
