Changelog

This version adds the following improvements:

Language Generation

• New Lexer generator Dleg, Dleg is the official lexer generator of Deamer CC.
• New Parser generator Dparse, Dparse is the official LR(1) parser generator of Deamer CC.

LPD Improvements

• OOPSyntax LPD: It is possible to define OOP Concepts in your language.

Tool Improvements

• OOPSyntaxRecognizer: Allows for identifying OOP concepts in your language via syntax.
• UML Reverse Engineering tooling: It is possible to reverse engineer UML Class diagrams. The output format is plantuml

QOL Improvements

• DLDL supports generation of LPD/LDO for Deamer CC. LPDs can now be developed and integrated using a simple DSL
• DLDL and Deamer CC are cross-platform.
• .deamer dir, this directory is used by DLDL to store project settings. DLDL uses the project settings, to re-use arguments, and become callable anywhere in the project.

Deamer 2.2.0

Overview

Deamer 2.2.0 adds new features, and contains different bugfixes.

New Features:

• DLDLConverter, allows the conversion of Deamer CC definitions to DLDL definitions.
  • Currently only supports lexicon and grammar conversion.
• NodeEnumToText relation available in AST generated output, allowing conversion from enumeration to text.
• NodeTextToEnum relation, inverse of NodeEnumToText
• Add tool DeamerDefaultApplication:
  • TokenViewer: Prints the tokens parsed
  • AstViewer: used to view the AST (prints a graphviz file)
• Update Access
  • Supports ranged for loop
  • Allows class type argument deduction when using C++17

DLDL

DLDL offers different bugfixes:

• Having multiple undefined references to terminals, crashed to resulting C++ project, this is now fixed
• Using terminals containing numbers was not supported, grammar is updated to allow this.

New feature:

• Automatically generate sources of DeamerDefaultApplication tool, available in Deamer v2.2.0

DST

New feature:

• Support for alternative fields, freeing the characters '<' and '>' inside abstractions

Deamer 2.1.1

Overview

This update fixes several bugs:

• When using EnterExitListeners, large inputs could cause stackoverflows.
• When using Uninitialized LDO's, memory leaks occured.
• When using Uninitialized LDO's, no warning was thrown.

New features:

• Allow generation of either single or multi projects

Notes:
Currently uninitialized LDO's, are not fully supported. In later versions more functionality will be added.

Deamer 2.0.0-rc1

Introduction

This document contains the release notes for the Deamer release 2.0.0. It describes changes to the API, major improvements to DeamerProject, and known issues.

Overview

This is a pre-release, meaning that there still may be some bugs. If you encounter a bug please feel free to report them.

Deamer v2 introduces varies new things, one being a complete redesign of Deamer v2.

Documentation

We are currently busy writing documentation. If you feel like something is missing feel free to report it.

Changes to Deamer

• Generate compiler front-ends (lexers, parsers, AST)
• Generate cmake projects
• Ways to specify Language Definitions
• Default LPD generators
• External MIT licensed library, usable by Deamer output. (Note, the external library is found here)
• Support for the LPD's: Lexicon, Grammar, Identity, Generation

Changes to DST

DST is a StringTemplate DSL for C++, via templates you can more easily define code generation.

Status of DLDL

DLDL is used to generate Deamer C++ code. Currently DLDL is still only able to generate Deamer v1. We will make DLDL available for Deamer v2 as soon as possible.

To see the status of DLDL and other Deamer-Tools see this wiki post.

Deamer 1.0.0

Introduction

This document contains the release notes for the Deamer release 1.0.0. It describes changes to the API, major improvements to DeamerProject, and known issues.
