Summary

New development version 0.11.0-alpha.6, which removes the analyse command, adds support for do-while loops and adds syntax support for objects (no semantic analysis or translation).

List of Changes

• Added parser rules for objects expressions and object properties.
• Added new object expression and object property AST node.
• Implemented semantic analysis for DoWhileLoopIterationStatement and target translation to JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Removed constant expression type and made them all primary expressions.
• Removed CLI command analyse.
• Added --dry-run flag to the CLI command compile.

Does this PR create new warnings?

None.

Detailed Changelog

Added

• Implemented Do-While-Loop (do ... while ...) iteration statements. (#271)
• New CLI flag --dry-run in compile, which only compiles the program and does not write any outputs. (#532).
• New classes:
  • ObjectPrimaryExpression, which represents an AST object primary expression.
  • ObjectProperty, which represents an AST object property.

Changed

• Renamed:
  • Method TargetASTNodeCodeGenerator.arrayLiteralExpression to arrayPrimaryExpression.
  • Method TargetASTNodeSemanticAnalyser.listPrimaryExpression to arrayPrimaryExpression.

Removed

• Removed CLI command analyse in favor of the flag --dry-run in the CLI command compile. (#532).
• Removed AST parent class ConstantExpression, its interfaces ConstantExpressionSemantics and ConstantExpressionTypeSemantics, as they were not really needed and unnecessarily added another level of complexity to the AST. All classes which previously inherited from ConstantExpression now inherit from PrimaryExpression instead.
