You probably need to initialize the ManagerClass object. Now as we
have the more object-oriented structure, it should be reasonably easy
to subclass ManagerClass (or use the Nemerle.Completion.Engine) and
make it perform only some chosen set of steps (like only initialize
the library references and then perform lexing) on the Run method.
I'm looking forward for defining some more methods in ManagerClass,
which could be overridden in subclasses, so we can easily enable /
disable some compilation steps or simply jump to single step.
So the idea is to always call some methods defined in ManagerClass and
avoid directly using other compiler's API.
Currently I am looking at the completion engine since it seems that it
can
use that cursed Manager class. There shall be some reason why
Alejandro did not
use some derived stuff (can be a historical reason), so I will not
dare to move that
way before it is cleaned up. I mean when Alejandro will be able to
remove that
code duplication, I will know that it would be usable for mere mortals
as me... :)
What do you exactly mean with 'code duplication'? I know there's some
stuff that have been moved to the Manager class, and I want to get rid
of it (maybe having the compiler init directly in Manager). However,
most of the things are not as in normal Manager, that's wh they remain
in Engine. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to post it here,
I'll try to do my best to improve the Completion Engine.
However, what do you exactly need? Lexer or parser is not available
through Completion Engine, but just type tree and method completion.
A little suggestion for your refactoring work: it would be cool if you
could remove all
the command line baggage from the Manager (compiler) classes and use
them only in
ncc.exe. I mean: progressbar, colors, etc. So it should work that all
the text IO handling
would happen interfaces and ncc.exe would use some sink to create the
text from that
which you put to the console. That way for example msbuild should not
parse the formatted
output not to mention the completion and future lexer/parser...
Engine has a Output rpoperty where you can directly receive the text the
compiler sends. However, it still needs parsing :-(
