Workflow scripts are able to be converted to equivalent C++ code.

If all scripts are known at compile time, this could significantly improve the script performance.

You can also get rid of runtime reflection overhead in this way.

Workflow and C++ classes call each other by reflection.
Serialize compiled script to a file in binary format, you don't need to call the compiler every time.
bind(EXPR) expression creates a subscriptable object to observe changing of the expression value.
Coroutine allows implementing Enumerable and Async by coroutine functions.
Coroutine allows creating your own coroutine syntax.
State Machine offers a new way to write classes, taking methods as input and drive the state machine forward.
Being able to install a debugger on a thread to track Workflow script.

For Windows, open Test/UnitTest/UnitTest.sln, and run the following projects in order:

CompilerTest_GenerateMetadata : Generate metadata file for involved C++ types (including classes only for unit test).
CompilerTest_LoadAndCompile : Load the generated metadata, compile and run Workflow scripts, and generate C++ code from Workflow scripts.
CppTest : Run generated C++ code.
CppTest_Metaonly : Run generated C++ code.
CppTest_Reflection : Run generated C++ code.
LibraryTest : Test built-in library for Workflow.
RuntimeTest : Test Workflow debugger.

For Linux, use Test/Linux/*/makefile to build and run unit test projects as described above.
