Hi again! I'll answer some of my questions myself:
2. What about the order of namespace and external? Should it be "namespace (...); external (...);" or "external (...); namespace (...);"? Or shall both orders be accepted?
For now I've decided to use "namespace(...); external(...);"
3. How can I parse a not reserved identifier? Checking "idtoken" for "_ID", using it with "token" and after usage calling "consume(_ID);"?
Usage is with "pattern" (all letters uppercase) or "orgpattern" (original casing) instead of "token"... the rest works as expected.
4. What about reserved identifiers being used in the namespace which might be valid in C++ (e.g. "location", "platform", "register", "object" or even "begin")?
Answered by Paul Ishenin (thanks to the recently added escaping feature ^^)
5. What's the best way to save the namespace in the tobjectdef class? As a string containing 'FirstPart.SecondPart'? Or as C++ mangled string '9FirstPart10SecondPart'? Or something else (e.g. a list containing the parts)?
I've decided to save the mangled name in the objectdef. It's mangled directly when parsing it.
Once I can access the svn server and the bugtracker again, I'll post my patch including some tests. And then you can post your objections there, if any. :P
