Continuing the theme of short notes on my current computing project, and how I don’t have time to work on it<\/a>, I can now report that I’ve achieved, in this iteration, what I’d achieved in the previous, which is to say the current code base passes the (slightly modified) auto-regression tests I’ve been writing.\u00a0 Because I used the supplied EBNF<\/a> to build the parser, it also means I’ve surpassed (theoretically – not verified) the parsing capability of the previous iteration.\u00a0 It’d be nice if I could find a publicly available test suite.<\/p>\n

The debugging approach described in my previous missive has also worked well.<\/p>\n

The auto-regression test suite, however, needs a complete re-think.\u00a0 The lesson there is one all coders should know: test suites need to be thought out as well as what they are testing.\u00a0 And I didn’t do that.\u00a0 Bad Hue, go lay down by your dish.<\/p>\n

Next steps: Continue working on the “well-formedness” and validation parts<\/a> of the processor; expand the auto-regression test suite.<\/p>\n

All this for a compiler which may never be completed, nor ever be widely used.\u00a0 Tilting at windmills entered a new age when open source software started up, all those years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
