Translator – Full Temporary String Support

The main work for adding full support for temporary string includes adding all the new codes for temporary strings and adding all the table entries for these new codes. Part of this was adding new operand arrays that contain the temporary string type(s), adding new associated arrays and increasing the maximum size of the associated array (the assign and assign list associated arrays contain five associated codes).

For example, previously there was the CatStr code (both operands are strings). This was expanded to the CatStrT1 (first operand is a temporary string), CatStrT2 (second operand is a temporary string), and CatStrTT (both operands are strings) codes. The is similarly for functions. For example, previously there was the Len code (argument is a string). This was expanded to the LenTmp (argument is a temporary string). The INSTR function that takes two arguments, the T1/T2/TT format was used.

The sub-string functions don't need to be expanded, because their operands are transferred to the next operator or function. If their operand is a string, then the next operator or function will be one that takes a string operand. If their operand is a temporary string, then the next operator or function will be one that takes a temporary string (that would need to be deleted at run-time when it is no longer needed). Therefore, there does not need to be separate codes (one that takes a string and a temporary string).
