Annotation Pass

[jmeaster30]

This pass will go through all the annotations and perform the ast transformations needed (note except for the operator annotations since those must be done during the expression pass)

Function Wrapper annotations

• wrap the inside of a function in another function and we want to supply all the information for that annotation in this conversion

  function wrapper(annotated_function_name: string, annotated_function: function(auto Args...) -> (auto Returns...), arguments: Args, annotation_arguments: AnnotationArgs) -> (results: Returns)

pack/union function generation annotations

• generate code based on the details of the pack / union

  
  pack Pack {
  name: string,
  interfaces: Interface[],
  members: PackMember[],
  }

pack PackMember { name: string, type: Type, default_value: lazy auto T, # idk }

pack Union { name: string, options: UnionOption[], }

pack UnionOption { name: string,

blah blah blah

}

function pack_generator(pack_object: Pack) -> (code: string); function union_generator(union_object: Union) -> (code: string);

Function argument annotation
- Processes the argument before the function is run

function argument_annotation(value: lazy auto T) -> (result: T)

Tag annotations 
- Can be used on anything and are used for analysis passes
- don't have a function assigned to them as they are kind of outside the language
- things like documentation where a plugin step would go through the ast and generate
