RE: [Cup-Dev] Cup, death, and possible rebirth.

[Craig R. <c-r...@ti...>]

Well, You have been busy...This looks much cleaner than
before, course the VM looks to be mostly just a shell but,
unless I'm just a total fool, most of that should be pretty
straight forward.  Got a couple of ideas for some tweaks to
the compiler but I'll save those for later.  So if the
compiler is working then I'll begin playing with some of the
simpler VM functions to get my feet wet and then see where
that leads us.

Thanks, for the updates.

Craig

Alright, I've looked into what I got here, and looks like
what I have is
what is in cvs. I re-added the API document, I don't
remember why it was
removed. Oh well. Cup will compile, if you also check out
the cblist root
directory, and compile and install it. The idea was I was
going to start
taking some of these general purpose things I could re-use
in other
projects, and start making a library. That was then. I still
think I'd like
a library, but, I think for now it's just wasted directories
and link-time
confusion. So, I'll be taking the functionality of cblist
and moving it into
the cup common directory.

The compiler from what I see is in great shape,
development-wise, but the VM
needs the majority of the work. Currently Cup is in a state
where it won't
run anything. It's basically rewritten from the ground up,
and incomplete. A
better 'working' version is 0.0.12, however the code sucks.
Sadly, I decided
to re-write it, which, i don't regret. However, combining
that with stopping
work for 4 months while in the middle of a rewrite, I have
some catchup to
do.

Anyway, will write more later.
