This is a working concept that will continue to evolve. I wanted to start
with some basic output before getting too carried away, since there's a lot
of potential here.
This is heavily influenced by Rust's helpful diagnostic messages, but will
take some time to realize a lot of the things that Rust does. The next step
will be to resolve line and column numbers, and then possibly include
snippets and underline spans, placing the labels alongside them. I need to
balance this work with everything else I have going on.
This is a large commit, but it converts the existing Error Display impls
into Diagnostic. This separation is a bit verbose, so I'll see how this
ends up evolving.
Diagnostics are tied to Error at the moment, but I imagine in the future
that any object would be able to describe itself, error or not, which would
be useful in the future both for the Summary Page and for query
functionality, to help developers understand the systems they are writing
using TAME.
Output is integrated into tameld only in this commit; I'll add tamec
next. Examples of what this outputs are available in the test cases in this
commit.
