A parser for Franca models - !!!Work in progress!!!

This project aims to develop a new alternative parser + code generator toolchain that has:

• Humanly readable error messages from the parsing stage
• Readable parser code
• Fast parsing/code generation, tailored for build systems

This project is in a very early stage, to give an overview of what has been done and what needs doing:

Parsing/lexing (frank-parser)

Fidl parsing (+AST construction)

DONE: attributes
DONE: comments
DONE: constants (all basic types)
DONE: enumerations
DONE: implicit array declarations
DONE: imports
DONE: interfaces
DONE: methods
DONE: package declarations
DONE: structs
DONE: variable declarations
DONE: version information
TODO: explicit arrays
TODO: expressions
TODO: initializer lists
TODO: polymophism

Fdepl parsing

TODO: everything

Semantic analyser

Code generator

This project is a reboot of my earlier python parser, where I was not happy with the error reporting from PLY.
