Future Work

Some ideas for future work on Goldie:

#3: Lex/parse from a stream
#4: Character Set Optimization (Partially done already)
#8: Ability to "step through" lexing and parsing
#9: Support for "indentation increase/decrease" virtual terminals
#10: Write an alternative to JsonViewer from scratch in D
#14: Support new GOLD v4.2 features
#15: Support for custom virtual terminals
Better API for manipulating parse trees once they're built
More error checking on .cgt loading, and an optional "lenient loading" mode
Enhancements to the base GOLD capabilities
Optional alternate to .cgt format
Support for "Composed" grammars (ex: C with preprocessor, C# with XML-doc-comments, PHP/Classic ASP with HTML)
More types of parsing than just LALR(1)
Automatic installer
Allow parsing at compile-time (may require improvements to D's CTFE)
Add a way to automatically map a parse tree into an AST.
Better API for semantic errors and custom user-made errors.
