-- Abstract:
--   This file defines the AST data structure and helper functions
--   for representing Boot programs.
--

import includer
namespace BOOTTRAN
module ast

++ True means that Boot functions should be translated to use
++ hash tables to remember values.  By default, functions are
++ translated with the obvious semantics, e.g. no caching.
$bfClamming := false

++ List of identifiers defined as constants in the current
++ translation unit.
$constantIdentifiers := nil

++ When non-nil holds the scope nominated  in the most recent
++ namespace definition.
$activeNamespace := nil

--% Basic types used in Boot codes.

%Thing <=> true

%Boolean <=> BOOLEAN

%String <=> STRING

%Symbol <=> SYMBOL

%Short <=> FIXNUM

++ Ideally, we would like to say that a List T if either nil or a 
++ cons of a T and List of T. 
%List <=> LIST

%Vector <=> VECTOR

%Sequence <=> SEQUENCE

++ Currently, the Boot processor uses Lisp symbol datatype for names.
++ That causes the BOOTTRAN package to contain more symbols than we would
++ like.  In the future, we want to intern `on demand'.  How that
++ interacts with renaming is to be worked out.

--% Native Interface Translation
--%

-- The Native Interface Translation support the following datatypes
--     void:  No value, useful only as function return type.
--
--     char:  Character type, corresponds to C type 'char'.
--
--     byte:  8-bit data type for the unit of information; corresponds 
--            to C type 'unsigned char' on 8-bit char machines.
--
--     Note:  We require 2's complement representation.
--
--     int8:  8-bit signed integer data type; int8_t in ISO C.
--    uint8:  8-bit unsigned integer data type; uint8_t in ISO C.
--    int16:  16-bit signed integer data type; int16_t is ISO C.
--   uint16:  16-bit unsigned integer data type; uint16_t in ISO C.
--    int32:  32-bit signed integer data type; int32_t in ISO C.
--   uint32:  32-bit unsigned integer data type; uint32_t in ISO C.
--    int64:  64-bit signed integer data type; int64_t in ISO C.
--   uint64:  64-bit unsigned integer data type; uint64_t in ISO C.
--
--      int:  Native integer data type.  Ideally should be wide enough
--            to represent native address space.  However, only ECL
--            and GCL seems to give that guarantee at the moment.
--
--    float:  single precision datatype for floating poing values.
--  float32   Corresponds to C type 'float'.  On most architecture,
--            this is a 32-bit precision IEEE 756 data type.
--
--   double:  double precision datatype for floating point values.
--  float64   Corresponds to C type 'double'.  On most architecture,
--            this is a 64-bit precision IEEE 756 data type.
--
--   string:  a data type for strings of characters.  The general
--            semantics is that a string is passed by value (e.g.
--            copied into a separate storage) to a native
--            function.  In many cases, that is appropriate (e.g.
--            mkdir "foo") if just wasteful.  In other cases, that is
--            not appropriate, as the native function may expect a
--            pass-by-reference semantics, e.g. modify the argument.
--            Consequently, argument types may be combined with the
--            modifiers `readonly' and `writeonly'.  Note that a
--            function return type may not use modifiers.
--            Corresponds to C's notion of NUL-terminated string,
--            'char*'.  In particular, the length of a string is
--            stored as separate datum part of the data being
--            transmitted.
--
--   buffer:  A data type constructor for array of simple data 
--            (e.g. array of bytes, array of float, array of double).
--            This is used to communicate data between native
--            functions and OpenAxiom functions.  The `buffer' type
--            constructor must be used in conjunction with one of the 
--            modifiers `readonly', `writeonly', or `readwrite', and 
--            instantiated with one of `char', `byte', `int', `float',
--            and `double'.  It cannot be used as function return type.
--            Note that the length of the array is not stored as 
--            part of the data being transmitted.
--
--  pointer:  A data type constructor for pointer to simple data 
--            This is used to communicate pointer to foreign data 
--            between native functions and OpenAxiom functions.
--            The `buffer' type constructor must be used in
--            conjunction with one of the modifiers `readonly',
--            `writeonly', or `readwrite'.
