-The "compiler" of the TNSL language is formed of several parts, each discussed
-in their own file.
-
- 1) Parsing
-
- 1a) The tokenizer - chews up .tnsl files and spits out tokens
- 1b) The file resolver - interperets import commands and creates a tree of files to compile
- 1c) The definer -
- 1d) The AST generator - indexes tokens and provides some rudimentary syntax checking
-
- 2) Validation
-
- 2a) The expander - expands pre-processor commands and macro operations
- 2b) The validator - checks all requirements for all functions and expressions are valid
-
- 3) Translation
-
- 3a) Variable resolver - chooses and creates an internal model of where variables are on the stack, as well as calling conventions for functions
- 3b) Type translator - places and translates types (internal and external)
- 3c) Container resolver - checks container (elf, exe, dll, app, out, etc.) and decides how to map the types for future linking
- 3d) Final translation - translates all logic and expressions into native binary code
- 3e) Optimization
- 3f) Container Writer - writes the final output of the previous steps into the specified container

-A set of components in the compiler (all before the translator) which expand,
-resolve, and validate pre-processor directives into code which can be compiled
-
-Consists of the resolver in the parsor.
-The expander and part of the indexer in the validator.
-
-Special (compiler specififc) definitions can be added with _<compiler>_<variable name>
-
-E.X. if the official implementation wanted to provide the exact time of the compilation, it could use _TNSLC_TIME_NOW for instance \ No newline at end of file
