support vs 2017

[furesoft]

is there a installer for vs 2017?

What do you mean? To build language projects, you need to build Nitra on a computer (https://github.com/rsdn/nitra/wiki/Nitra-Build-process).

ValdD2, thanks, I've followed the instructions and build the tools successfully. However, as a newbie, I don't know what to do next to get this integrated in the VS 2007? Is there any documentation or tutorial for beginners? thanks much.

Hello @jianyunli,

I would suggest you start with one of the samples and go from there.

Full Nitra parser has four major parts:

1. Language definition: https://github.com/rsdn/Nitra-Mini-C/blob/master/Nitra-Mini-C/MiniC-Language.nitra
2. Syntax parser: https://github.com/rsdn/Nitra-Mini-C/blob/master/Nitra-Mini-C/MiniC-syntax.nitra
3. Language AST: https://github.com/rsdn/Nitra-Mini-C/blob/master/Nitra-Mini-C/MiniC-ast.nitra
4. The mapping between syntax and AST: https://github.com/rsdn/Nitra-Mini-C/blob/master/Nitra-Mini-C/MiniC-Mapping.nitra

Also, you need to implement IProjectSupport interface on your top-most AST type: https://github.com/rsdn/Nitra-Mini-C/blob/master/Nitra-Mini-C/CompilationUnit.n

Hi @ionoy, thanks much, I'll get started. It says it can generate a parser for the IDE, actually that is what I need. Is it possible for my DSL, that I can put a squiggle for "incorrect" part , for example squiggle
var x = "123" - 1 // string minus integer does not make sense

Yes, of course. This is an example from Mini-C: https://github.com/rsdn/Nitra-Mini-C/blob/master/Nitra-Mini-C/MiniC-ast.nitra#L203
