NAME

Parrot::PIR::Formatter - Given ugly PIR, format it nicely.

SYNOPSIS

use Parrot::PIR::Formatter;

DESCRIPTION

Primarily intended to be used by pirtidy.pl. Given some ugly PIR, format it nicely.

Functions

Class Methods

$self = new([code])

Returns $self as a new instance.

Instance Methods

add_pir($code, $code, ...)

Add more pir to be processed.

$code = format()

Return the nicely formatted code for the raw PIR that's been provided.

Many things to muck with line could be done here:

o remove extraneous spaces.
o add in "proper" spacing (after commas, etc.)
o turn opcode, <OUT>, <IN> into <OUT> = opcode <IN>
o heredocs could be treated as blocks to set them off visually.
o could remove explicit declarations of string type when not needed.
o could add in single quotes wrapping .sub names.
o could convert double to single quotes when possible.
o could fixup Pmc vs. .Pmc
o could convert strings with embedded newlines to heredocs.

Or not. =-)

BUGS

Does not play well with heredocs. No tests. Should arguably be part of IMCC, which already knows how to parse PIR.
