Alright... it's good enough now so you try it out yourselves (BTW I 
added the keyword: "extern" so you can already mix C++ code with 
Javascript).


Instructions (you'll need: Boost, Flex, Bison, Qt):

1) Get the following code: https://github.com/philippeb8/root_ptr/tree/qt

2) In "example/js2cpp", type:
$ qmake
$ make
$ ./js2cpp < tests/input1.js > tmp.cpp
$ g++ -std=c++11 -O2 -Iinclude -I../../include tmp.cpp -otmp -lboost_system
$ time ./tmp
int main()

real    0m1.581s
user    0m1.581s
sys     0m0.000s


TODO:

1) Finish removing all dependencies from Boost

2) Figure a way to have variadic number of arguments for functions

3) Create local variables linked to the function arguments

4) Fix a -DBOOST_DISABLE_THREADS that is not working for some reason

5) ...


Thanks for your patience!
