Vczh Library++ for C++ script engine platform

Project Description
A general purpose script engine platform for hosting scripting languages of multiple levels, with a set of predefined script languages and a library for building new script languages. Also, linq on C++ and a high level string processing library(including regex) are provided.

Please go to "Source Code" page and download the latest version of the source code and documentation.

*working on*: implementing generic concept for NativeX
*documentation latest update*: Parser Combinator Programming Guide (doc/pdf) (Chinese version)

In Vczh Library++ 3.0 there are

• [done] Both x86 and x64 supports
• [done] a lightweight and fast script language virtual machine
• [done] a general compiler component library (type manager, symbol table, visitor pattern macros, etc..)
• [developing] an extensible basic script language supports for languages like C
  • [done] an extensible basic script language semantic analyzer
  • [done] a basic script language to basic IL code generator
  • [done] NativeX which is designed to directly map the basic script language syntax tree
  • [done] reflection on a basic script language assembly (C++API only)
  • [done] Enable C++ code to call basic script functions by language provider framework
  • [done] optimize and get a higher compiler performance or better code generation
  • [done] design syntax error messages for NativeX
  • [done] invoke initialization function API
  • [done] Fully testing code generation
  • [done] implement ABI for assembly
  • [done] enable assembly linking so that functions in different assemblies can call each other
  • [developing] generic and concept supports for basic script language and NativeX parser
    • [done] generic type rename
    • [done] generic structure
    • [done] generic global variable
    • [done] generic function
    • [done] generic concept definition
    • [developing] generic concept invoking
  • [considering] future features for basic script language
    • constructor/destructor/copy constructor/assign operator overloading (denied)
    • exception handling
    • foreign function interface
  • check linking symbol signature to avoid dll hell
  • a common library for basic script language (to share libraries between different language of the same level)
  • instruction level optimization
  • debugger interface
  • Pascal, Basic, C and native Python compilers built on basic script language
• an extensible managed script language supports for languages like C# or Java
• an extensible dynamic script language supports for languages like Javascript
• [developing] a language provider framework to support communication between different languages
  • [done] API for basic script languages
  • API for managed script languages
  • API for dynamic script languages

The three level of languages are finally compiled into opcodes for the lightweight VM, so languages in all levels can co-operate together

Vczh Library++ 3.0 Core Library there are

• [done] regular expression, parser combinator builder and text encoder/decoder
• [done] an extensible stream system
• [done] a collection library with Linq implemented in C++
• [done] a reflection library on C++
• [done] a lightweight unit test framework(only tens of lines of code) for C++

Vczh Library++ 3.0 contains the following code generators:

• [done] FpMacro.exe: functional macro system for generate complex C++ code files
• [done] StrGen.exe: resource generator for generating C++ programs of different languages(Chinese, English, ...).
