- `parseTypedDeclaration()` will no longer consume the SEMICOLON after a vardec
- `parseTypedDeclaration()` will no longer consume theSEMICOLON after an assignment
- `parseName()` will expect a semicolon if the returned object from `parseTypedDeclaration()` is of type `Variable`. If of type `Function` then nothing will be expected
- Added `allowVarDec` and `allwFuncDef` to `parseTypedDeclaration()` as default arguments with `true` as their default values
- If `allowFuncDef` is true then parse a function
- If `allowVarDec` is `true` then allow a variable definition
- If `allowVarDec` is true but we have an assignment and `wantsBody` is false then throw an error
- NOTE: A fix for `parseTypedDeclaration()` is needed for this to work
Tests
- Updated `simple_extern.t` to include an `extern evar`
- Implemented type `Compiler` which wraps compilation all into one object which can have `compile()` called on it to perform the full sequence of tests
- Added new symbol types `EXTERN`, `EXTERN_EFUNC` and `EXTERN_EVAR` and related back-mappings
Parser
- `parseFuncDef()` now accepts a default argument (set to `true`) on whether to expect a body for a function or not, in the not case expect a semi-colon - this helps with extern support
- Likewise because `parseFuncDef(bool wantsBody = true)` is called by `parseTypedDeclaration()` we have added same argument to `parseTypedDeclaration(bool wantsBody = true)`
- Ensure we pass the parameter from `parseTypedDeclaration()` into `parseFuncDef(bool)` in function definition case
- Implemented `parseExtern()` for extern support
- `parse()` supports `SymbolType.EXTERN` now
Data
- Added `ExternStmt` to represent the parser node derived from a call to `parseExtern()`
- The `Entity` parser node type now has an `isExternal()` flag to know if the entity is marked for `extern` link time or TLang internal time (default)
Typechecker
- Implemented `processPseudoEntities(Container)` which loops through the given container and finds all extern statements and then extracts those nodes, parents them to the given container and marks them as external (pseudo-handling support)
- Added first call inside `beginCheck()` to be a call to `processPseudoEntities(modulle)`
Dependency
- Added useless no-op check for `ExternStmt` - it does nothing
DGen
- In `emitFunctionSignature()`, prepend the string `extern ` to the signatur if the given `Function` entity is marked as external (`isExternal()` is true)

----
Test cases

- Updated `simples_variables.t`
- Removed duplicate instance of `VariableAssignmentInstr`
- Set the context of the created `VariableAssignmentInstr` to be that of the `VariableAssignmentStdAlone` entity
- All operations regarding moving through (iterating over) instructions are now to be done via the instructions provided by CodeEmitter, moveback, moveforward etc.
DGen
- Re-worked the system to use new CodeEmitter semantics
- Variable assignments in declarations are oneshot now which makes it more compact, semantically better and also valid C
---
Tests
- Updated the `simple_variables.t` test case to have many binary operations chained
- Removed all `emit()` methods (this is now done in the language-specific emitter - DGen)
CoreEmitter
- Added docstrings
- Added required `transform(Instruction)` method which must transform each provided Instruction into a string (a.k.a. do the actual emit()-ting)
DGen
- Migrated C-emit code into the overrided `transform(Instruction)` method
- VariableAssignment entity now has its Context object set to the current Context (of the Variable being declared) (so this is a declare assignment case only (so far)) (fixes #36)
TypeChecker
- Extract the Context object from the VariableAssignment entity and then set it as the Context for the VariableAssigmnetInstr instruction (fixes #36)
VariableAssigmnentInstr
- The `emit()` method will now emit the assignment code
Check
- Added `getCharacter(SymbolType)` which maps a SymbolType to a maths operator (WIP)
- Implemented the correct emit for this instruction (just emits the string version of the ulong `data`
BinOpInstr
- Emit is almost correct, just missing a mapping from SymbolType to the maths operator required
- Added new SymbolMapper class with a static method which will take a Container and an entity name, resolve the Entity and then generate the hash of the absolute path to said entity and return this as the `symbol name`
TypeChecker
- Set the static field to refer to this instance of the TypeChecker (in the SymbolMapper class)
VariableDeclaration

----
Test cases
- Added `simple_variables_only_decs.t` to test code generation
- Added a method which will replace the `.`s in a symbol with underscores
Instruction
- The symbol names need to be valid in C so let's just make it a rule they will only have _'s (underscores) to replace any characters like `.`s
- Pass in the type of the variable being declared to the `VariableDeclaration` instruction
VariableDeclaration
- Emitted code now contains the type of the variable being declared
- Added `getInitQueue()`
- Removed the `beginEmit(initQueue, codeQueue)` method (as this is done for us in compiler.d
CodeEmitter
- Extract init queue as well
This is a queue where all things such as:
- Class static initializations
- Module initializations (maybe)
- Struct static initializations
will go.
Added `addInit()` along `SList initQueue` to support such a queue.
- Whenever a ClassStaticNode is come across it is added to this queue (at the back - so as to maintain allocation order, not that allocation would matter - only initialization (which is already working))
- The VarAssDNode processor on typechecker now adds to the back orf the code queue
- We removed all weird swapping code in typechecker
- Dependency wise, a variable declaration is depended-UPON its variable assignment which in turn a module depends ON.
- In the case of no assignments we simpyl make the module depend on the variable declaration dnode directly
- Added new test case to show this all
- The test case was broken -_-
- Full-path traversal now implemented somewhat, along with checks on the container if they require static initialization (such as for Classes)
Full path evaluation update
If the local segment is a Class-type-of Container then run
a class static allocation on it and make the current dnode
dependent on that ClassStaticAllocation dnode returned from
classStaticAllocate().
- Disabled seperate generate() calls to FuncDefs in core.d for typechecking
- Added `saveFunctionDefinitionNode()` and `retrieveFunctionDefinitionNode()` to core.d for dependency
- Added a generalPass() call (and fixed it to skip on things != STATIC for InitScope - temporary fix)
- Added test case to test with
- Ensure we set the parentOf all Statement's inside a Function (definition) whilst parsing - to prevent a runtime assertion (I believe, well all fixed now)
1. VariableDeclaration
Previously we added back the `varDecInstr` which is post-cast and if the cast failed (hence hitting this !varDecInstr branch) we didn't add back `instr` but rather added back `varDecInstr` which is 0 instead of being non-zero.
This later is incorrect.
- Added float constant support to the lexer
- Added float support to the typechecker to build the correct Instruction type
Unit tests
- Added unit test for a bad example of a malformed encoded floating point to test out the lexer
