Hi.
I am Lach Sławomir from Poland, Bytom. I am beginner developer in
C/C++, Python, TypeScript, EcmaScript, etc.
I'm wonder how wonderful stuff can be done if GNU Compilers Collection
allow developers to use JavaScript inside other language code as
preprocessor.
- Developer could use arrays
- Developer could use more generalized functions
- Developer could use custom code analyze (as compiler extensions)
- JavaScript will be ran in sandbox, so maybe use it instead configure
scripts and instead make?
- Developer could use JavaScript regular expressions to replace text in
files
- Possible many others
I think, you could use modified version of node.js as C/other language
preprocessor. I don't have idea how things should be done yet, but I'm
ready for discussions.
One example:
#JS_DEFINE("UNPACK",['string','string'], function(a, b)
{
unpacked_symbols[unpacked_symbols.length] = b;
document.write("#define b a . b");
})
#JS_DEFINE("}", [], function() {
for (a in unpacked_symbols)
{
document.write("#undef a");
}
delete unpacked_symbols;
}
That's very simple example. Could it be useful?
Best regards,
Lach Sławomir.
