UnitParser v0.4, written by M. Knight.
UnitParser v0.5, updated by NP. v/d Spek, 21-oct-2003
Source Code from Carlo Kok has been used to implement various sections of
UnitParser. Components of ifps3 are used in the construction of UnitParser,
code implementing the class wrapper is taken from Carlo Kok's conv unility
This version works with the newExec source from Carlo Kok's IFPS so now all
identifirs are normal cased.

It can currently handle :
- Constants(both with explicit & implicit type),
- Global variables are parsed, but no output is generated for them
As I would need to be able to set their value at startup, or generate
getters & setters for them(need info before I can do this)
- Normal Delphi routines are properly encaptulated
The following different types :
- simple typing ie 'MyInt = Integer;'
- type identity ie 'MyInt = type Integer;' (it drops the 'type' and then
handles it like simple typing)
- method pointers(function pointers are not supported by ifps3)
- Enums ie 'MyEnum = (ab,abc);'
- sets are correctly parsed
- records, and nested records
- classes
- dynamic arrays only (static arrays are not implemented by the ifps3 to my
knowlage)
- On discovering a function marked with the overload directive, it prompts
for a new function name, and then generates wrapper code that maps the
new method name to the original version. Press enter to use the same name
* NVDS> fixed some bug's here.
- Some constant expressions cause the parser to get confused
(<constname>=<constname>). It will then prompt for the correct
Expression type (string, integer, char, boolean, etc)
Todo:
- Add MUCH better error reporting
- Add a symbol table to keep track of dereferenced data types to flag them
as non importable & allow better constant parsing.
- Add support for interfaces to be correctly parsed & generate wrapper
classes for them.
- Combining more then one orginal file to one IFPS-import file.
- Handling constante sets.
- Add correct support to handle Abstract functions and Procedures.
Added in version 0.5 (NVDS):
- Posiblity to see the Orginal soure code, master source code and after converting
the result code files.
- Added the choice of makking a single file or not.
- Created a INI-project file with all the settings.
- Modified files are saved as *.int.
- Fixed the way of handling Overloaded functions.
- Now all identifiers are all normal cased.
Added in version 0.4 :
- Fixed spelling errors in readme.txt & output file
- Fixed parsing of multidimensional arrays & arrays with the size of a type
- Improved error reporting, by default the last 5 tokens are reported. It is
posible to have more tokens listed. The token string is RECONTRUCTED so will
NOT containt any comments, formatting or exact casing.
Added in version 0.31 :
- Fixed error that would result in the files bwing written to in the root
of the drive, if a output dir wasnt supplied.
- Fixed error in code generation when the '-U' flag was used (prevent the
class parent's name from being written).
- Now defaults to '-u' instead of '-UseUnitAtDT'
- Updated readme.txt
Added in version 0.3 :
- Added command line options
- Added the better clas registration code generation (handles forward
declarations)
- now uses the 'conv.ini' file that Carlo Kok's Conv utility does.
- Altered the file BigIni.pas to NOT include references to VCL
Added in version 0.2 (not release to public):
- Added an option that controls how the design time import module is
generated.
Now it is posible to generate design time wrapper units without using the
wrapped unit.
- Fixed a bug in the constant expression parser, #10#13 is now interpreted
as a string instead as a char
- Output files are now generated in the same directory as the file being
wrapped by default.
With the option of forcing all generated files into a spesific folder.
