Re: Gorm class parser.

[Gregory John Casamento]

The parser I wrote for Gorm is a recursive descent parser and a pretty simple 
one.   I didn't want to make yacc and a full up grammer part of Gorm unless I 
absolutely had to.  Unfortunately it doesn't take the case you spoke of into 
account, so it could be a simple matter of adding this to the parser so that it 
can be handled properly.

Please do me a favor and **WRITE THIS UP AS A BUG** on savannah instead of 
talking about it here so that it can be properly tracked.   Also, please send 
some example header files which you are having this problem with because I 
would like to verify that I see the same behavior with the same files rather 
than taking a guess and copying from your email.

Hi folks,

I have come across a problem in the classloader of Gorm.app. I ask your 
understanding when I say it is not terribly sophisticated. I had noticed that 
declarations of several instance variables of the same type like so

NSMutableArray *a1, *a2,

would confuse it, resulting in corrupted outlet lists, so now I always write

NSMutableArray *a1;
NSMutableArray *a2;

Now I have another, more serious problem: it appears that the parser will 
consider everything an outlet that contains the string "id", e.g.

NSMutableDictionary *namesToPids;

will cause "namesToPids" to appear in the outlet list. This is an annoying 
problem and I don't think not to use the string "id" in variable names is an 
acceptable solution (though using "namesToPIDs" will fix it).

Anyhow I hope you can replicate this, if not, please accept my apologies.

BTW does GNUstep have a regexp libary yet that offers, say Perl-compatible 
regular expressions with different enodings (utf8 ...)?

Best regards,

Marko
