LSO strings are byte arrays, but our strings are made for Mono which uses Unicode, and invalid UTF-8 sequences can't be stored in Unicode without using a custom representation.
One possible representation is to only use the codepoints 0-255 in the Unicode string, to avoid supporting multiple types for strings. Something to study in future.
- Parser and output modules are thoroughly tested and working.
- Most LSL immutable functions are working; some not tested; llJsonSetValue not implemented.
- Parser recognizes the following flags that alter syntax:
extendedglobalexpr: Allow full expression syntax in globals.
extendedtypecast: Allow full unary expressions in typecasts e.g. (float)~i.
extendedassignment: Enable the C assignment operators &=, ^=, |=, <<=, >>=.
explicitcast: Add explicit casts wherever they are done implicitly, e.g. float f=3; -> float f=(float)3;.
Of them, only extendedglobalexpr is useless so far, as it requires the optimizer to be working.
