Help

Could i help you with the project? I don't know c++ but i know ts. For example i can try to create a configuration that translates ts methods to c++ methods since i noticed it does not translate methods.

Thank you for your interest in the project. Not sure yet which help I would need in that project. But I am thinking that next would be good to have "WASM" tests. so you can try to use it as WASM compiler and see what is missing from point of usability.

Did you want if i would test the compiler in goldbold

[ASDAlexander77]

yes, it is fine, but it doesn't have the latest version so you may see the issue which already fixed.

[Sinfolke]

I tested and it commonly works well. However
It does not compile code with methods correctly. Some methods (for example lenght in string) works because has the same name and implementation in c++. I have already created an example of tool by which we can implement configuration to tranform ts methods and properties to c++. I don't know whether you have already implemented it, but i will attack it here when will be able

your repo is not publicly accessible. can't open it

[Sinfolke]

Ok, you might can somehow implement the c++ code at src/String/cpp folder since your code is written at c++. But if not possible then im sorry 😅

cool thing about TypeScript Native compiler that I do not need to use C++ anymore :) .. the only thing is just SDKs which are written in C++ such as Vulkan etc

[Sinfolke]

I honestly know c++ only a little bit and i know only the main basic of the language. If i can somehow help you with project (like a tried to write js methods on c++ saving same behaviour) then please, tell.

I tested compiler on web and found some issues

1. the constructor is considered method of class. And so it can be called:

const instance = new myClass();
// error in js but valid using your compiler
instance.constructor()

2. The compiler is not able to access a key of object by variable:

const obj = {
key1: "value1",
key2: "value2",
}
const accessKey = "key1";
function main() {
     // compiler error
     print(obj[accessKey]);
}

3. Has some issues with outputting array or object

    const dynamicArr = [
        1,
        "first",
        [
            "second",
            [
                'third',
            ]
        ]
    ];
    
    function main() {
        /*  
            prints �
    
    
            print([1, 2, 3]);
    
            throws error
            print(dynamicArr)
        */
}

4. Has issues with null (program crashes)
5. In a string escaptions (like \n, \t...) Do not work
   Everything else is seems good

print can print only simple data, for printing array u need to write the code for it

[ASDAlexander77]

regarding 2. it is working like C++, u can access field but "variable" only static access via field name
