GameMonkey Script

I've spent a lot of time messing with Flex, Bison and GameMonkey trying to get an increment operator working. I haven't been able to work it out :/

Is it just one of those things that would require an entirely different VM structure? Is it even remotely possible in GameMonkey's current state without huge alterations? If so, can someone give me a hand? It'd make for code that's quite a bit cleaner..

The very first version of GM implemented inc and dec operators. I just compared source with v1.0 and unfortunately it seems the first public release was slightly too late and did not include the code. In hind sight removing those operators was wrong. Although the idea of preventing assignment in selection statements is noble, one goal of GM was to be friendly to C/C++ programmers, and that means supporting as much of the classic C syntax as possible. I do recall Matt saying that removing those operators significantly simplified the code, however I don't recall how much was grammar and how much was code gen code. I'll report back if I can find any more details on this.

I've found a pre v1.0 build with pre inc and pre dec operators intact. I aim to post some code soon.
I might try reintegrating the changes and putting them inside a #define for experimentation.
