small wish list for Comet32 Compiler

Posted by Bob A on September 02, 2011 at 08:08:36:

1) expand the compiler warnings/errors to show the full 32 characters of the Subroutine name
2) expand the information saved in the compile so that you'd see the extension and the source library, and whether it's text or CED (94/7):
ABCDEFGH.IBS,RDA
-BCDEFGHRDA
and not just
ABCDEFGH
-BCDEFGH
3) a "depth level" on the compile (in case the IF structures get "squashed":
<<001>> IF A EQ B THEN
<<002>> IF C EQ D THEN
<<003>> SELECT CASE
<<004>> CASE 1
<<005>>
<<004>> CASE 2
<<005>>
<<004>> CASE ELSE
<<005>>
<<003>> ENDSELECT
<<002>> ELSE
<<003>> IF D EQ F THEN
<<004>> IF Q EQ R THEN
<<005>>
<<004>> ELSE
<<005>>
<<004>> ENDIF
<<003>> ENDIF
<<002>> ENDIF
<<001>> ENDIF
IBM's RPG compilers had this for 34 years since the fixed format of RPG precluded indenting (until RPG-free in about 2000), there was even an option to include an indent character sequence of 2 characters.. the code would be TRIML'ed and the appropriate number of characters would be inserted per level (e.g. with "|>" as the indent characters:
|> IF A EQ B THEN
|>|> IF C EQ D THEN
|>|>|> SELECT CASE
|>|>|>|> CASE 1
|>|>|>|>|>
|>|>|>|> CASE 2
|>|>|>|>|>
|>|>|>|> CASE ELSE
|>|>|>|>|>
|>|>|> ENDSELECT
|>|> ELSE
|>|>|> IF D EQ F THEN
|>|>|>|> IF Q EQ R THEN
|>|>|>|>|>
|>|>|>|> ELSE
|>|>|>|>|>
|>|>|>|> ENDIF
|>|>|> ENDIF
|>|> ENDIF
|> ENDIF
