Roadmap for SCL

• future

• ☐ create documentation explaining how to use SCL from C++, python, etc
• ☐ make p21read work with all files we have (or remove those files)
• ☐ investigate fedex_plus warnings on popular schemas
• ☐ integrate express engine, step toybox tools into test regimen?
• ☐ find more valid exchange files for testing
• ☐ more cleanup
• ☐ create tool to aid in debugging of schema problems?

• v0.1: Get familiar with the technology, improve code portability and quality, and bring new people to the project.

• done update SCL to latest compilers (linux, osx, mingw); MSVC must wait
• done fix compiler/flex/bison warnings
• done port to Win/Lin/OSX
• done tests - compile code generated by fedex_plus, compile p21read

• v0.2: target Sept. 28?

• some done - clean up code
• done - fix problems with ap203e2 schema
• done - demonstrate p21read on ap214ed3 and ap203ed2 for CAX-IF

• v0.3: target Oct. 19

• fix part 21 read/write issues, esp. wrt ap203e2
  • done
• done test test test
  • need tests to verify that changes do not break anything
  • craft schemas to test specific parts of EXPRESS
  • see also Testing SCL
• done test on ap242 CD

• v0.4 [milestone] [changelog]:

• start generation for python
• fix ap242 errors
  • the errors on ap242 and ap210 are identical. ap209 has similar errors.
  • if we get ap242 working, the current errors in ap210 and ap209 will probably go away.

• v0.5 [milestone] [changelog]:

• done fix most ap242/ap210e3/ap209 errors
• done fix schema lib compilation errors
• done fix p21read segfault on OSX
• done get SCL to build with MSVC
• pushed to v0.6 merge BRL-CAD changes, including re2c and lemon

• v0.6 [milestone] [changelog]:

• Further develop python generator
• Rename to STEPcode
• Memory manager
• runtime bounds for aggregates
• MSVC fixes
• CMake improvements

• v0.7 [milestone] [changelog]:

• ☑ Merge with BRL-CAD tree
• ☑ Testing framework with files for p21read
• ☑ Improve p21read performance / lazy loading
• ☑ Get AP209 to parse and compile
• ☑ Support requirements of other projects like BRL_CAD, OpenCascade, IfcOpenShell, SCView
