Refactoring: split TokenList::readfile() into smaller functions #735
Description
TokenList::readfile() is about 380 lines long and handles several kinds of tokens in one loop. Several of these readers have their
own copy of the line-splicing (backslash-newline) code.
Before line splicing is moved into the character stream and the tokenizer is changed (step 2 of #708), move the readers that those
changes will touch into separate functions:
| New function | Reads |
|---|---|
readNameOrNumber() |
names and numbers (later: pp-number grammar, e.g. 1.2.3, 0x1e+e) |
readLineComment() |
// comments (has its own splicing code) |
readBlockComment() |
/* */ comments (has its own splicing code) |
readErrorText() |
the text of #error / #warning (has its own splicing code) |
When splicing moves into the stream, these splicing copies can then be removed one function at a time, in small diffs.
