[SUGGESTION][FIX] Add support for pointer as function return types
trafficstars
Current implementation does not allows to write functions that explicitly return pointers (they can be deduced with using auto).
working: (inout i : int) -> auto = {
return i&;
}
not_working: (inout i : int) -> *int = {
return i&;
}
During the presentation, Herb presented a function that returns a pointer (https://github.com/hsutter/cppfront/wiki/Design-note%3A-Postfix-operators#two-examples-from-cppfront-parseh) so I have implemented it.
peek: (this, num: int) -> * const token = {
// skipping content
}
If we skip explicit this use then the rest of the function will compile in cppfront after this change. So, this code will compile:
peek: (num: int) -> * const token = {
// skipping content
}
The support for multi-level pointers is included.
