Changes and new features

Aixt CLI update

  • Migrate aixt.v file to an V's standard CLI app using cli module
  • Aixt's new command has now an interactive mode (by flag)
  • Implement the init command
  • Interactive mode for init and new
  • change device flag by -target (-t)
  • make the Aixt executable receive -c_compiler <cc_path> (-cc <cc_path>) flag for the C compiler path
  • make the Aixt executable receive -flasher <flasher_path> (-f <flasher_path>) flag for the flasher path

Folder organization update

  • Split the examples from the API in all the targets creating examples folder
  • Change targets folder name by api
  • Change in all of the targets builtin.c.v to main/main.c.v
  • Change /rp-pico/ by /pico/
  • Change redundant names in /examples/ folders
  • Target names are case-insensitive now but the Aixt related files and folders are always lowercase
  • Add basic language test examples in /test folder
    • Create a folder by each test file including the project files
  • Split the docs directory into docs/api and docs/lib

API update

  • Object Oriented Programming enabled in the API for most of targets
  • API and Aixt compiler now are number the same (0.3)
  • Define as default the object oriented modules (pin, motor, etc) less in low memory devices like PICs
    • Define as standard module's name module for unique and OOP versions and module_fn for only-funcional ones
    • Update according the new names, the targets: NXT, Emulator and arduino devices (tested on Uno, Nano and Mega).
    • Create both functional and OOP version of modules pin, adc, pwm, motor, sensor and button
    • Update all the Microchip targets to pin_fn

Editors update

  • VSCode tasks.json updated to also support Aixt as a Pixi workspace package
  • Remove the fields device and port of .vscode/settings.json
  • Modify .vscode/tasks.json according to the new v.mod file
  • Modify .zed/tasks.json according to the new v.mod file
  • Update tasks.json and settings.json according to the new v.mod file

Solved issues

  • Arduino Mega and Nano led0 is now public.
  • Change all occurrences of @[as_macro] const by @[as_macro] pub const
  • Aixt failed with V 0.4.12 or above ("-" in names affected it). Now it works on V 0.4.12 and 0.5
  • Defining structs and use them in multiples files failed depending on the compiling order
    • Add to the c_gen struct the field typedefs
  • Global struct instances now work well
  • Interrupts examples for arduino backend already work with pin y pin_fn
  • Makefiles device_name already works well
  • Interrupts on PIC16F work back
  • unknown PIC12 fuses solved
  • match already works well with C.variables
  • assignment using match already works

README.md update

  • Add documentation about installing by using conda/pixi

Configuration files update

  • Implement a new scheme for the device.json setup files
  • Add a v.mod file inside each project folder in order including device and port fields
    • transpile, c_compile and build commands use the v.mod file if the flag device is not explicitly passed
    • flash command use the v.mod file if the flag port is not explicitly passed
  • Update the v.mod file in all the Microchip targets
  • Remove aixt_linux and aixt_windows from settings.json
  • Change the fields cc and flasher of setup/<target_name>.json file, from [windows_path] [linux_path] to [path] and [windows_path] as optional
  • Update all the setup files *.jsonto the new scheme
    • From device.json change port: by target:
  • Change the fields cc and flasher of setup.json file, from [flags] to [args]
  • Change device: by target: in the project's v.mod files
  • Add the fields cc: and flasher: to the project's v.mod files
  • Aixt executable now works using data from: direct flags, the v.mod file or default setup/<target_name>.json file, following this priority order.
  • Change aixt/AIXT by aixt_path/AIXT_PATH in all the VSCode and Zed setup files.

New features

  • Delete nbc compiler binaries from the repository (Linux and Windows versions)
  • Enable conditional compilation based on device.json properties
    • Include $if c ? {} syntax from backend: c of device.json
    • Include $if xc8 ? {} syntax from cc: { name: xc8 } of device.json
    • Change all the setup files name that contains '-' by '_'
    • Change all the setup files content that contains '-' by '_' in the fields: "target", "backend", "name" and "api_paths"
    • In the api folder change all the folders names that contains '-' by '_'
    • In the api folder change all the *.v file names that contains '-' by '_'
    • PIC16F6xx_14p ADC module modification by using conditional compilation: $if PIC16F630 ? {
  • Implement a builtin module similar to the V's one
    • Implement eprint() function
  • #preinclude command fully implemented and tested
  • Generate the C macros (@[as_macro]) before de rest of constants and functions definition (functions and constants)
  • Test and include in documentation the module pin_fast for PIC16 targets
  • Update the PIC12Fxxx, PIC16F8x and PIC16F87x examples
  • generates documentation from code
    • Update the source files header to improve the visualization of the automatic documentation
    • Remove /api/ from the end of targets implementation path
    • Create 'dummy' modules as workspaces in API targets folders (Microchip and Arduino targets)
    • Change redundant targets API folders (Microchip and Arduino targets)
    • Change /api/,/docs/, /setup/, examples/ and /templates/project/ folders to lowercase
    • New script to generate api/.../README.md files, from docs/.../quickref.md and api/.../header.md
    • Add the guide Generate documentation from code.md
