[FalconJx] A new baby cross compiler experiement for AS -> JS
using Falcon
Hi,
Seeing as winter is here in NewHampshire and ice covers the ground, I
used the opportunity to put my money where my mouth is;
NOTE: All the javascript is generated by code I wrote using the
AST/Visitor/Walker pattern of the node hierarchy and their
corresponding definitions. I have it running from the command line
like MXMLC does.
I about 10 hours of programing I have the following constructs cross
compiling to JS using Flacon.
I will say, Falcon is one of the best designed APIs I have used in a
long time. Whoever architected this compiler gets a huge pat on the
back from me.
Right now this is hoisted ontop of MXMLC as a quasi target compiler.
Oh how I love prototypes. I cannot believe I actually have this
working in less than two days.
As far as code, it will be in my whiteboard when it's in my
whiteboard. :) Whenever that is, no specific time.
The amount of ridiculousness I felt trying to wade through the
FlaconJS code prompted me to do this.
The thing I really grabbed on to is we are using the closure compiler
so worrying about highly optimized cross compiler becomes a non issue.

Alex, thanks for the advice, it's my first time in an Apache project, so
any help on processes is highly appreciated.
I'll clarify these issues with my employer!

Sounds good, we need all the momentum we can get. Right now I'm just
really trying to figure out the whole structure of what I'm working on.

Mike, what about this approach: you continue on your path, and I go ahead
and tweak Jangaroo to generate code using the "goog" API (where is makes
sense, see my comment on the Wiki page) instead of the Jangaroo Runtime, so
I can experiment with what the desired output format would be without
having to get up and working with Falcon.
Does that sound like it could work?

I made sure I didn't use any code from anywhere except my head on this
first iteration. I also used some of my experience when I made an as3
code creator framework a couple years ago.
I didn't want to use any Jangaroo code until you have official
approval and forms that Alex mentioned submitted. I think the form
from your employer would probably be very important.
- see [0] asblocks
What will have to be figured out eventually that I am not sure about
is project setup, threading(since falcon is multithreaded) and write
optimizations but, this is the great thing about opensource. People
with different levels of experience can contribute!

Like I said, I think Alex was correct that you just need to make sure
your legally clear from your employer and have forms submitted if you
use code from janagroo in places.
Other than that, I would love as much help as possible, you put enough
effort in, you will be an apache flex committer in no time. :)
So I will try and get the code looking decent, licenses and stuff and
just get it into my whiteboard and not worry about it. I think I have
enough support here, that we can mold it into the shape it needs to be.

Yeah, I'm receiving notifications on that page. I'm a tooler, like I
said, I cannot in good faith even offer my opinion when it comes to
implementation details of javascript (IE super).
With the design I am going to commit sooner than later, we can change
things very easily, it's quite modular.
What I need to figure out is how I'm going to setup unit testing so we
can test FIRST and add functionality after the base expressions and
statements work correctly.

I haven't dug into Erik's changes, yet, but I assume that we want to get
base.js output ASAP, and it sounds like you are several days out on checking
in your version? If so, then I will try to make the required changes to the
FalconJS classes myself. If you want to send me your changes directly, feel
free.

I don't know. By all means I am not saying I'm giving up on what I
have done and FalconJS. I don't even "know" if what I have created is
going to be suitable.
I really don't want to commit what I have to svn and I didn't make a
branch. I could always recheck it out again and copy/paste.
I changed quite a bit in the JSEmitter, JSWriter, JSSharedData and
JSGeneratingReducer.

Mike,
What are you planning to do with your Friday work? Assuming I get time to
work on my MXMLClassDirectiveProcessor today or tomorrow, I think I want to
teach it to spit out the goog code, but then I need the AS output to also do
the same. Maybe I'll just try make the changes for the AS output myself in
the current Reducer/Emitter classes?
You might want to feed an MXML file into Falcon and watch it hit the
MXMLClassDirectiveProcessor APIs. All I"m going to do is override each of
those APIs and instead of sticking ABC code in the instruction lists, stick
in single instructions that are a string of JS. That's my understanding of
how JSEmitter works today.

Like I told Frank, I will get the code up ASAP. FalconJS is just "to
deep" for me Alex. I don't feel comfortable investing a huge amount of
time hacking something I don't understand.
I for some reason this new design pattern doesn't work out, I will
force myself to learn FalconJS's internals. I spent 8 hours on Friday
trying to mangle code around and I found myself hacking a couple
things like super because the implementation of the BURM and other
renderings were so complex. Yes I was stepping through the code and
saw exactly what it was doing. :)
On a side note, I would love to see your implementation of the
MXMLClassDirectiveProcessor. I would like to see if I can make a
traversal just like I have done here with as AST.

Frank, if you plan to contribute code, I think it would be a good idea to
file a CCLA from your employer and an ICLA for yourself. Even though
Jangaroo is OS and AL, it is still important that contributions are
voluntary and ok'd by your employer. And significant contributions of
existing code may need a software grant.

Well this is what I have up to this point.
Some missing semi colons, maybe some other stuff. But the recursion on
expressions, binary and unary operators are working great.
Got anonymous functions, getters, setters, try etc. working. Will have
to be schooled on the use of 'this' and other things but the design is
so mutable we could even implement more than one type of cross compile
as easy as I just made this new one for the closure compiler.
How do we want default arguments dealt with on functions?
Honestly I don't know exactly how ActionScript is supposed to
translate to JavaScript on somethings. I have namespaces and stuff
like that working but obviously it doesn't have a js counterpart.
Erik! I need your table erm.. javascript bible for a reference of what
we need to test against.
Ah, the beauty of this new design is we can unit test each part of the
expression, statement conversion from as -> js! This part is so
exciting, we will know down to the binary, unary expression if the js
code is getting output correct.
Erik, you will have to get me a comprehensive list for comment and
type hint locations as well.
Well that's it for me for now.
