Suggestions of features for OXP
#1

So I'm currently developing my object extended pawn precompiler (right now I'm fighting with making it work so that pawno runs it, and it runs pawncc - with pawno given params) the thing is, it's syntax will be based on C++ style which is very common for me. My question is - what advanced features of C++ should I try to implant, and are there some that I should exclude?

Right now, I'm considering implanting :
  • only public access level
  • only non-const functions
  • ability to define either in class definition or outer one (as well as the fact, that it will check if a method is not defined, while a defined method may be as well not implanted (as long as it's not called!)
  • I'm considering making the static keyword for classes
  • later or sooner, inheritance WILL be there!
  • Incorporating should be possible (probably not at first)
  • Destructors will be called (not at first)
  • my "pawn" version of inline functions (Link:What are inline functions?)
  • Note : Initialization lists won't optimize anything, and thus will not exist
  • stock keyword as default
  • Very low possibility : Finding operators, and somehow manipulating them to allow complete unlimited overloading (C'mon, who's that advanced at sa-mp to need it - if there's anyone, code will be open source anyway)
  • Basic method and variable calls
  • Chained method/variable calls
  • Possibly the pre-compiler will have full data of a class, so it would be possible to generate descriptions
Right now that meets my requirements for OO extension, if there's a feature I should add, post it here !

If you need to know how the code will look more or less, here's a normal header file of C++ (It's from precompiler):
Код:
#ifndef PARSER_H
#define PARSER_H
typedef FILE* File;
namespace Parse {
    enum Mode {
        Full=1,
        Block=2,
        Optimized=3,
        Seek=4,
    };
};
class Parser {
    public:
    Parser(Parse::Mode mod=Parse::Block);
    ~Parser() {}
    private:
    int cd;
    };
#endif
Edit : What about namespaces?
