Module Description
|
|
============== ==========================================================
|
|
lexbase buffer handling of the lexical analyser
|
|
scanner lexical analyser
|
|
|
|
ast type definitions of the abstract syntax tree (AST) and
|
|
node constructors
|
|
astalgo algorithms for containers of AST nodes; converting the
|
|
AST to YAML; the symbol table
|
|
passes implement the passes managemer for passes over the AST
|
|
trees few algorithms for nodes; this module is less important
|
|
types module for traversing type graphs; also contain several
|
|
helpers for dealing with types
|
|
|
|
sigmatch contains the matching algorithm that is used for proc
|
|
calls
|
|
semexprs contains the semantic checking phase for expressions
|
|
semstmts contains the semantic checking phase for statements
|
|
semtypes contains the semantic checking phase for types
|
|
|
|
idents implements a general mapping from identifiers to an internal
|
|
representation (``PIdent``) that is used, so that a simple
|
|
id-comparison suffices to say whether two Nimrod identifiers
|
|
are equivalent
|
|
|
|
ropes implements long strings using represented as trees for
|
|
lazy evaluation; used mainly by the code generators
|
|
|
|
ccgobj contains type definitions neeeded for C code generation
|
|
and some helpers
|
|
ccgutils contains helpers for the C code generator
|
|
ccgtypes the generator for C types
|
|
ccgstmts the generator for statements
|
|
ccgexprs the generator for expressions
|
|
extccomp this module calls the C compiler and linker; interesting
|
|
if you want to add support for a new C compiler
