The editor now calls the GF server to check the syntax of expressions that
are part of concrete syntax (except for parameter types).
This is currently done by using the cc command of the GF shell, which puts
some unnecessary restricitons on operation definitions...
Factor out functions that interface to the old cloud service (upload.cgi)
from editor.js into cloud.js. Merge changes from editor2.js into editor.js and
factor out functions that interface to gf -server into clouds2.js.
Cloud merging: when sharing grammars between two devices that previously each
had separate grammar directoies on the server, clean up one of the directories
and make it a symbolic link to the other.
This lets the user access the same set of grammars from multiple devices.
Sharing grammars between multiple users is possible but discouraged at the
moment. There is no version handling, so concurrent editing of the same grammar
by different users might result in one user overwriting changes made by
another user. (The same goes for cuncurrent editing on multiple devices by
a single user, of course.)
Work in progress on making the online grammar editor use the new "gf -server"
mode instead of the old upload.cgi script. A first benefit is that the
editor now calls the server to check the syntax of lin & lincat definitions.
(But the links to minibar/gfshell/quiz are not available at the moment.)
When adding a new concrete syntax to a grammar, the currently open concrete
syntax will be copied. If the abstract syntax is currently open, the new
concrete syntax will start out empty.
