Syrinx

Syrinx is a superset of C++ that adds syntax and features from higher level languages.

Syntax and features

Currently Syrinx includes:

Operators:

Keyword	Description	Examples
in	Checks if a container has a value	3 in vector, "foo" in list

Usage

Including Syrinx in your project is trivial, as it is a header only library. Simply copy syrinxlib/Include/Syrinx to wherever you want in your project's structure. Afterwords configure your preferred build tool to transpile the *.syr.cpp/*.syr/*.syrinx/etc. files into *.cpp with stp.

Here is an example with CMake:

CMakeLists.txt

CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(version 3.26.4)

PROJECT(SyrinxClient) 

EXECUTE_PROCESS(COMMAND stp ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} --recursive)

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/Include)

ADD_EXECUTABLE(SyrinxClient main.cpp)

main.syr.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <list>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	std::vector<int> vector = {1, 2, 3};
	std::list<std::string> list = {"foo", "bar", "baz"};

	if (3 in vector && "foo" in list)
	{
		std::cout << "3 is in vector and foo is in list" << std::endl;
	}

	return 0;
}

Afterwards build and run your project as usual.

mkdir Build
cd Build
cmake .. -G "Unix Makefiles"
make
./SyrinxClient.exe

TODO

• Visual Studio Code Extension for syntax highlighting
• Proper client example
• C++ unit tests
• Visual Studio Code settings for each sub-project
