Hi, thanks for the other answers.
Now I need to modify the AST to recognize some other words (differente than standard lua) for my cnc interpreter that have some instructions like C (define for example).
Now I compile fine the project but which files need to modify ?
Treewalk.mlua? I have tried but nothing happen.
Someone help me?
Thanks
Fabio

Hi Fabio,

To add some keyword to the language, you should modify the language grammar.
I am not an MetaLua expert, but here some links to help you:

The github metalua repository:
https://github.com/fab13n/metalua

The last known documentation of metalua (not uptodate):
https://github.com/fab13n/metalua/blob/master/doc/manual/metalua-manual.pdf?raw=true

The metalua code is integrated in LDT here (but it seems already found it):
http://git.eclipse.org/c/ldt/org.eclipse.ldt.git/tree/libraries/metalua

Good luck Smile

Hi
I've tried to modify these files but nothing happens.
Do you have an example to insert a new keyword like 'define' C statement?
Please help me.
thanks a lot for your support

Sorry for the late response.

I am sorry, but there is no easy way to add keyword to our code analysis chain.
We will try to make the grammar code more newcomer friendly (maybe a tutorial or documentation ?) for the next release.

Hi Marc
thank you for attention.
I need an IDE for a modified LUA (CNC controller) that work with with a custom lua compiler.

This compiler has some keywords derived from C language like
* define
* switch case
*ifedf

and others.
Is'nt possibile to modify the code parser or you can explain to me how to modify.

Don't have a tutorial or documentation ?

Thanks a lot

Fabio
