[jsapigen-devel] Syntax error on example 6 and 7 in the manual

[Erik A. K. <eri...@em...>]

Hello,

 

I am having problems with example 6 and example 7 in the manual.

 

Example 6. Static Constructors gives me the following error when processed
with jsapigen:

 

18: m syntax error, unexpected TOK_IDENTIFIER, expecting ':'

 

Line 18 is at eof. If I out commeny the "construct" line then jsapigen
generates no error.

 

Example 7. Constructors and Finalizers gives me the same error for both the
"construct" and the "finalize line".

 

Other examples are processed ok.

 

I use Cygwin under Windows Vista. The gcc compiler used for compiling
jsapigen is version 3.4.4.

 

Any idea of what the problem is?

Hi,

thanks for trying jsapigen.

I looked at the examples, but couldn't reproduce your error on my
machine (x86-64, Fedora 12, gcc 4.4.3).

Not yet. I attached my input and output files to this mail.

Could you send me your input file? Sometimes it's just some typo.

What character encoding do you use? jsapigen takes care of different
line endings, but maybe there are other problems lurking.

Otherwise I'll take a closer look at it within the next few days. (I'll
have to install Cygwin first.)


Regards, Thomas

Hi,

I am sorry. It is not example 6 and 7 in the Introduction that are giving me problems. It is example 6 and 7 in Writing Interface Descriptions I am having problems with. I have attached them to this mail.

The character encoding is ASCII, with cr, lf for line endings.

Regards Erik

Hi

Argh! This is a stupid bug in the manual. The keywords 'construct' and
'finalize' are always followed by a colon to make their syntax similar
to 'function' or 'property' declarations. Also parameters do only have
types, but not names.


Example 6 should therefore read like this:

    class my_class
    {
        construct : my_class_construct (int) <static>;
    };


I attached both fixed examples and I'll updated the manual. Thanks for
reporting this.

Regards, Thomas

Hi

The descriptions of constructors and finalizers were wrong. I just fixed
the manual and uploaded a new version [1][2]. Thanks again for
reporting.
