Parser Test Revisited

I was thinking that it would be nice if the test_parser program had a mode where it would ask for input lines from the user so that additional items could be tested without having to recompile the program. Therefore a “-i” option was added to test_parser. This will tell the test_parser program to ask for input lines instead of running the canned tests. Once entered, the line will be parsed into tokens. The program will continue asking for input lines and will end when a blank line is entered (control+C also works). The skip_whitespace() function in the Parser class was modified to accept tab characters in addition to space characters.

The standard library gets() function is used for line input, which supports backspace, and simple editing including moving the cursor with the arrow keys, insert mode can be toggled with the insert key, and characters can be deleted with the delete key. None of these characters end up in the input buffer. The ibcp_0.1.1-src.zip file has been uploaded at Sourceforge IBCP Project along with the binary for the test program.  Now, really moving on to the Translator...
