Issue with Class about snow HOT 5 CLOSED

Right now classes cannot exist without a class body. However, I can see that it sometimes might make sense to have an empty class. I'll add the possibility to create empty classes.

As a work-around solution until the above-mentioned fix is in place, you could just write:

class X
    # empty class

(So a class with just a comment as class body).

I am writing Magento modules and it has many empty classes. Thanks for your solution, class X with comments works. But I met two others issues. Please help.

class X extends Y
    # empty class
Fatal error: Class 'Y' not found in D:\Program\Snow\snow.php(201) : eval()'d code on line 2

class Hms_HomeTabs_Block_HomeTabs
    # empty class
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Unable to parse input: given input is no T_EXPRESSIONS:
class Hms_HomeTabs_Block_HomeTabs
    # empty class
null' in D:\Program\Snow\snowcompiler.php:368
Stack trace:

Thank you for your feedback - this is very helpful!

Now for your two new issues: the first one tries to find class Y, since you try to inherit from it, but is unable to do so. So you need to make sure that class Y is defined in the current scope (either by defining it or by including it).

The second issue: I will change the class identifier definition to actually support underscores in the middle of the name. Until this is implemented, you can try using camel-case instead.

Thanks for your reply :) I think I should write plain PHP until Snow support underscores because Magento modules use underscores in class names to identify MVC and folder structure so I cannot use camel-sase or any other approaches.

The above commit should fix the issue with underscores in class identifiers and also makes the class body optional.
