Parser Class – Identifiers (Testing/Release)

The test_parser program was modified to break the tests into groups, otherwise one long stream of output would be generated – there's no reason to see all the Immediate Commands test output while testing Identifiers. Therefore, a single digit argument was added to the test_parser program where 1 is for the Immediate Command tests, 2 is for the Identifier tests, an so on. If anything in the core Parser code is changed because of bugs found, the older tests can be rerun and compared to the previous output as a regression test.

The first problem discovered was that it is was necessary to have distinct Token Types for Defined Functions with parentheses and without. Therefore DefFunc was replaced with DefFuncP and DefFuncN. The second issue discovered was that the internal string functions (CHR$, LEFT$, etc.) had the wrong data type of None in the table, so these were changed to the correct String data type.

Two things that could not be tested are search for words with a data type (there are none of these currently in the table) and the error if found the first word of a two word command and the second word of the command is not valid (currently all two commands are valid as a single word command, e.g. END, DO, LOOP, etc.).

The ibcp_0.0.6-src.zip file has been uploaded at Sourceforge IBCP Project. The binary for the test program has also been uploaded.
