Shunt, up and running with Default

Mainly worked on the interface to shunt. The default forms of expressions are:

  • ( and any like expression)  -  Has a leading parenthesis and fault on unbalanced parenthesis
  • Expression;    - Ends in a semi colon, reports unbalance parenth
  • or Expression is a null terminated string.


In normal mode Shunt acts like c syntax and does the first two termination types, and the s the Default standard. The expression is char * argv[], each array element holding the next token. Any system on the bus can call Shunt.

Fundamentally the shunting yard is a sorter, like the Hanoi Towers. One can load different weighing table,make is sort on different criteria. It a can be extremely useful in sorting search terms prior to a join. Shun cteates structured plain text which shortens t It will order all sorts of things, like system tasks.he count of convolutions we need to get a high valued graph pattern. One of the best uses is to Shunt an array of arbitrary flags by structure according o the system design.  GCC could set the table to provide the proper sequencing of flags before a run.

Shunt unfolds the expression into array args, at the command spot, it covers its own 'command line', thud continuing to build out whatever syntax is unfolding.. The code has the details.

Tokenizing the linux command string was a pain, mainly because of conflicts.  Typung syntax into an enabled syntax engine requires tokenization to meet the argc argv standard model.  So syntax engines can load their own syntax chart for tokenization, they can define a different standard at their own risk. The capability is not built in, but it will be asked for and the hooks are there.
