Translator – Developmental Release (Compile Test)

There's a lot of different syntax being used that I never used before and I wanted to make sure it compiles before continuing. The Translator also uses lists of pointers, something that the test_stack program didn't actually test. With these lists, the items (in this case Tokens) are allocated elsewhere (the Parser), used by the Translator, and will eventually be deallocated by the Encoder.

I want to verify that list of pointers worked, so the test_stack was modified to test these kinds of lists, where the pointer values of the structures are output to verify everything was working correctly. Fortunately these pointer lists worked as expected, so no changes to the List class were necessary.

The Translator class was implemented in the main include file and the basic structure of the Translator's functions were implemented in a new source file. The add_token() doesn't actually process the tokens yet. Test Translator routines were added to the test_ibcp.cpp file. The goal was to make sure the basic structure would compile.  Trying to run the Translator with input mode will crash the program.

The ibcp_0.1.4-dev-1.zip file has been uploaded at Sourceforge IBCP Project along with the binary for the updated test_stack program (now moved to a test subdirectory). The ibcp.exe program doesn't do anything more than the last version except will print translator command line options, so it was not included in the binary .zip file.
