endless.rb is a pre-processor for ruby which allows you to use python-ish
indentation to delimit scopes, instead of having to type 'end' every time.
Basically, this makes the end keyword optional. If you leave off the
end, the preprocessor inserts an end for you at the next line indented
at or below the level of indentation of the line which started the scope.
End is optional, so you can still write things like this:
begin
do_something
end until done?
(However, you'd better make damn sure you get the end indented to the
right level!)
This script uses RubyLexer to extract a stream of tokens and modify
it, then turn those tokens back into ruby code. Since RubyLexer is a
complete stand-alone lexer, this should be a very thorough solution,
free of insoluable little problems due to the script's inability to
follow where comments and strings start and stop. (That said, I'm sure
there will be some problems with it, as it's pretty raw code.)
As different programs have a variety of interpretations as to the
width of a tab character, tabs for indentation are absolutely
forbidden by endless.rb.
There is a similar script, pyruby.rb, or pyrb.rb floating around which
examines a source file line by line and assumes lines ending in a colon
are the start of a block. Since pyrb.rb does not tokenize the input,
pyruby.rb can be fooled by a colon in a string or comment:
p "a:
b"
p "a" #:
It's basically impossible to get this kind of thing right without actually
tokenizing the input. Also, unlike python (and pyruby.rb), endless.rb needs
no extra colon to start an indented block. (I don't like python's colons
much.)
Code written without ends must be pulled into the interpreter via special
versions of the #load or #eval builtin methods. Eventually, there should
be a version of #require as well, but for now you must get along with #load.
The special versions are contained in the Endless module, so to load up
source code without ends in it, use
Endless.load 'filename'
instead of
require 'filename'
or
load 'filename'
For examples, see the end of the file.
