[Swift-devel] xml-intermediate-language branch

[Ben Clifford]

branches/xml-intermediate-language has the latest set of changes I want to 
put in to make the XML intermediate language more xml-structured and less 
ad-hoc.

for users, there shouldn't be immediate changes in already-working 
behaviour; more stuff that intuitively should work will now work, removing 
the need for some workarounds in programs where expressions don't work in 
certain places - there are a number of bugs which this code will fix.

it seems to work OK in the testing I've done. I'm going to do more testing 
on larger programs over the next few days and if that goes OK then put it 
in trunk towards the end of this week.


if you test the code in xml-intermediate-language branch, you'll give me a 
chance to fix your problems before you get screwed by them when I merge to 
trunk. you can do this by following the usual build-from-SVN instructions 
at http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/swift/downloads/index.php but replace the 
checkout-swift svn command with:

(on one line)

svn co 
https://svn.ci.uchicago.edu/svn/vdl2/branches/xml-intermediate-language  
vdsk

(the difference being that the URL ends branches/xml-intermediate-language 
rather than trunk)
