I've implemented my own scanner and my own parser using python
(because I need to end the project as soon as possible). My parser
creates an AST following a grammar. I understand how can I manage
function declarations and function calls, class declarations and class
initializations, but now I have a different question:


How should be structured a struct where I have to store information
about an object? Which kind of infos have I to store??


tnx
