Use TextReader and TextWriter

dpbarron — Tue, 28 Sep 2004 20:31:02 -0000

Instead of using StreamReader and StreamWriter for
input and output, it would be nice to be able to use
TextReader and TextWriter. Also, the output stream
should be allowed to be null.

I am working on a project where I am either passed a
file name or a string to parse, and there is no concept
of "standard output" -- I have to log errors WITHOUT
using a TextWriter.

This is easy to do in Flex when generating C++ code
because they use istream and ostream instead of
ifstream and ofstream, and allow ofstream to be null.

I've done the work myself (it's trivial), but am not
sure of whether this is generally applicable.

JF translator generates incorrect code for Cfa

dpbarron — Tue, 28 Sep 2004 20:22:20 -0000

When the flex option Cfa is chosen, jf incorrectly
generates an array named yy_nxt. It should be defined as
"public int [,]yy_nxt". yylex.template.cs will also
need to be updated to use the comma instead of [x][y],
it should be [x,y].

use System.Collections classes

Use System.Collections.ArrayList and
System.Collections.Stack instead of the vector and
stack templates.

Not sure about the performance impact, but it would be
worthwhile for maintenance's sake.

use C# documentation tags

use the various /// XML tags that C# compilers can
handle with the /doc option to produce XML
documentation.

convert to using properties

Jolly Chen — Thu, 06 Sep 2001 22:47:28 -0000

use C# style indexers and properties where appropriate
in place of accessor methods(). They would probably
be more 'natural' to the native C# programmer.

Examples include
AbstractYYlex.currentloc
AbstractYYlex.tokenloc
AbstractYYparse.yylen
AbstractYYparse.yyval
AbstractYYparse.yyrhsname
AbstractYYparse.yyrulename
