Reimplement generic array support #72

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 7 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Decide on a syntax and general mechanism of operation for supporting general 
data arrays; utilize this functionality for storing arbitrary primitives and 
POD structures.

It is highly unlikely that a decent generics implementation can be realized in 
a respectably short timeframe, so I'm deferring this to a later release, so we 
can get R11 out the door ASAP.

The last several commits have introduced array syntax, array initialization, and array reads. Assignments are still pending as well as passing array slots by reference and other semantic features.

Assignments into arrays are now baseline functional. There will be a lot of cleanup needed to generalize the parsing and IR for assignments now that arrays are present in the language. Separate issues/tracking bugs can be filed as needed, for the purposes of this (ancient!) issue I'm closing it out.
