- "Double quotes" for strings (filenames, section names, CLI option arguments, etc)
- 'Single quotes' for characters and CLI option flags
- `Backticks` for keywords and identifiers (symbol names, charmap names, etc)
CLI option flags also have their leading dashes
* Remove `err` and `warn`, keep `errx` and `warnx`, using them in RGBGFX too
* Separate RGBGFX and RGBLINK warnings/errors from main options
* Separate `report` function into `error` and `fatal` messages
* Implicit newlines for most RGBASM errors
These fall into a few categories:
- `_unreachable()`
- Verbose print messages
- Errors that should never practically occur (alloc/read/write failure,
more than UINT32_MAX anonymous labels, etc)
* Implement custom generic tagged union `Either`
This should be more efficient than `std::variant`, while still
keeping runtime safety as it `assert`s when `get`ting values.
* Use `Either` for RPN expressions
* Use `Either` for file stack node data
* Use `Either` for `File` buffer
* Use `Either` for `STRFMT` args
* Use `Either` for RGBLINK symbol values
* Support an equivalent of `std::monostate` for `Either`
* Use `Either` for lexer tokens
* Use `Either` for symbol values
* Use `Either` for lexer mmap/buffer state
`std::visit` is (arguably) cleaner code, but older versions of gcc
and clang (not very old; the ones packaged with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS)
compile them as tables of function pointers, instead of efficient
jump tables.
It complains about *those* calls returning a dangling reference...
Unfortunately, GCC does not provide more information about what the
reference *is*. (It only mentions the temporary being destroyed at
the end of this *huge* expression.)
I am normally not one to just commit a thing that gets rid of a
warning if I can't explain why, but this eludes me.
Stubbing out the calls to only return a captured variable still
complains, which led me to test that the error wasn't stemming
from the `Visitor` itself... which it seems to?
But I don't see why a reference to the *visitor* should be kept...
Anyway, here is the obligatory part where I state my yearning for Rust :)
- Since we have style rules to include foo.hpp at the top of its
corresponding foo.cpp, this takes any headers included by foo.hpp
as being also guaranteed for foo.cpp.
- Use C-style <foo.h> instead of <cfoo>, since the latter only
guarantees putting symbols in the `std` namespace, which we are
not using for C functions (e.g. `printf` not `std::printf`).
- Remove now-unused `__PRETTY_FUNCTION__` reporting
