1 # Ocean Interpreter - Jamison Creek version
3 Ocean is intended to be a compiled language, so this interpreter is
4 not targeted at being the final product. It is, rather, an intermediate
5 stage and fills that role in two distinct ways.
7 Firstly, it exists as a platform to experiment with the early language
8 design. An interpreter is easy to write and easy to get working, so
9 the barrier for entry is lower if I aim to start with an interpreter.
11 Secondly, the plan for the Ocean compiler is to write it in the
12 [Ocean language](http://ocean-lang.org). To achieve this we naturally
13 need some sort of boot-strap process and this interpreter - written in
14 portable C - will fill that role. It will be used to bootstrap the
17 Two features that are not needed to fill either of these roles are
18 performance and completeness. The interpreter only needs to be fast
19 enough to run small test programs and occasionally to run the compiler
20 on itself. It only needs to be complete enough to test aspects of the
21 design which are developed before the compiler is working, and to run
22 the compiler on itself. Any features not used by the compiler when
23 compiling itself are superfluous. They may be included anyway, but
26 Nonetheless, the interpreter should end up being reasonably complete,
27 and any performance bottlenecks which appear and are easily fixed, will
32 This third version of the interpreter exists to test out some initial
33 ideas relating to types. Particularly it adds arrays (indexed from
34 zero) and simple structures. Basic control flow and variable scoping
35 are already fairly well established, as are basic numerical and
38 Some operators that have only recently been added, and so have not
39 generated all that much experience yet are "and then" and "or else" as
40 short-circuit Boolean operators, and the "if ... else" trinary
41 operator which can select between two expressions based on a third
42 (which appears syntactically in the middle).
44 The "func" clause currently only allows a "main" function to be
45 declared. That will be extended when proper function support is added.
47 An element that is present purely to make a usable language, and
48 without any expectation that they will remain, is the "print" statement
49 which performs simple output.
51 The current scalar types are "number", "Boolean", and "string".
52 Boolean will likely stay in its current form, the other two might, but
53 could just as easily be changed.
57 Versions of the interpreter which obviously do not support a complete
58 language will be named after creeks and streams. This one is Jamison
61 Once we have something reasonably resembling a complete language, the
62 names of rivers will be used.
63 Early versions of the compiler will be named after seas. Major
64 releases of the compiler will be named after oceans. Hopefully I will
65 be finished once I get to the Pacific Ocean release.
69 As well as parsing and executing a program, the interpreter can print
70 out the program from the parsed internal structure. This is useful
71 for validating the parsing.
72 So the main requirements of the interpreter are:
74 - Parse the program, possibly with tracing,
75 - Analyse the parsed program to ensure consistency,
77 - Execute the "main" function in the program, if no parsing or
78 consistency errors were found.
80 This is all performed by a single C program extracted with
83 There will be two formats for printing the program: a default and one
84 that uses bracketing. So a `--bracket` command line option is needed
85 for that. Normally the first code section found is used, however an
86 alternate section can be requested so that a file (such as this one)
87 can contain multiple programs. This is effected with the `--section`
90 This code must be compiled with `-fplan9-extensions` so that anonymous
91 structures can be used.

279 The four requirements of parse, analyse, print, interpret apply to
280 each language element individually so that is how most of the code
283 Three of the four are fairly self explanatory. The one that requires
284 a little explanation is the analysis step.
286 The current language design does not require the types of variables to
287 be declared, but they must still have a single type. Different
288 operations impose different requirements on the variables, for example
289 addition requires both arguments to be numeric, and assignment
290 requires the variable on the left to have the same type as the
291 expression on the right.
293 Analysis involves propagating these type requirements around and
294 consequently setting the type of each variable. If any requirements
295 are violated (e.g. a string is compared with a number) or if a
296 variable needs to have two different types, then an error is raised
297 and the program will not run.
299 If the same variable is declared in both branchs of an 'if/else', or
300 in all cases of a 'switch' then the multiple instances may be merged
301 into just one variable if the variable is referenced after the
302 conditional statement. When this happens, the types must naturally be
303 consistent across all the branches. When the variable is not used
304 outside the if, the variables in the different branches are distinct
305 and can be of different types.
307 Undeclared names may only appear in "use" statements and "case" expressions.
308 These names are given a type of "label" and a unique value.
309 This allows them to fill the role of a name in an enumerated type, which
310 is useful for testing the `switch` statement.
312 As we will see, the condition part of a `while` statement can return
313 either a Boolean or some other type. This requires that the expected
314 type that gets passed around comprises a type and a flag to indicate
315 that `Tbool` is also permitted.
317 As there are, as yet, no distinct types that are compatible, there
318 isn't much subtlety in the analysis. When we have distinct number
319 types, this will become more interesting.
323 When analysis discovers an inconsistency it needs to report an error;
324 just refusing to run the code ensures that the error doesn't cascade,
325 but by itself it isn't very useful. A clear understanding of the sort
326 of error message that are useful will help guide the process of
329 At a simplistic level, the only sort of error that type analysis can
330 report is that the type of some construct doesn't match a contextual
331 requirement. For example, in `4 + "hello"` the addition provides a
332 contextual requirement for numbers, but `"hello"` is not a number. In
333 this particular example no further information is needed as the types
334 are obvious from local information. When a variable is involved that
335 isn't the case. It may be helpful to explain why the variable has a
336 particular type, by indicating the location where the type was set,
337 whether by declaration or usage.
339 Using a recursive-descent analysis we can easily detect a problem at
340 multiple locations. In "`hello:= "there"; 4 + hello`" the addition
341 will detect that one argument is not a number and the usage of `hello`
342 will detect that a number was wanted, but not provided. In this
343 (early) version of the language, we will generate error reports at
344 multiple locations, so the use of `hello` will report an error and
345 explain were the value was set, and the addition will report an error
346 and say why numbers are needed. To be able to report locations for
347 errors, each language element will need to record a file location
348 (line and column) and each variable will need to record the language
349 element where its type was set. For now we will assume that each line
350 of an error message indicates one location in the file, and up to 2
351 types. So we provide a `printf`-like function which takes a format, a
352 location (a `struct exec` which has not yet been introduced), and 2
353 types. "`%1`" reports the first type, "`%2`" reports the second. We
354 will need a function to print the location, once we know how that is
355 stored. e As will be explained later, there are sometimes extra rules for
356 type matching and they might affect error messages, we need to pass those
359 As well as type errors, we sometimes need to report problems with
360 tokens, which might be unexpected or might name a type that has not
361 been defined. For these we have `tok_err()` which reports an error
362 with a given token. Each of the error functions sets the flag in the
363 context so indicate that parsing failed.

410 ## Entities: declared and predeclared.
412 There are various "things" that the language and/or the interpreter
413 needs to know about to parse and execute a program. These include
414 types, variables, values, and executable code. These are all lumped
415 together under the term "entities" (calling them "objects" would be
416 confusing) and introduced here. The following section will present the
417 different specific code elements which comprise or manipulate these
422 Executables can be lots of different things. In many cases an
423 executable is just an operation combined with one or two other
424 executables. This allows for expressions and lists etc. Other times an
425 executable is something quite specific like a constant or variable name.
426 So we define a `struct exec` to be a general executable with a type, and
427 a `struct binode` which is a subclass of `exec`, forms a node in a
428 binary tree, and holds an operation. There will be other subclasses,
429 and to access these we need to be able to `cast` the `exec` into the
430 various other types. The first field in any `struct exec` is the type
431 from the `exec_types` enum.
434 #define cast(structname, pointer) ({ \
435 const typeof( ((struct structname *)0)->type) *__mptr = &(pointer)->type; \
436 if (__mptr && *__mptr != X##structname) abort(); \
437 (struct structname *)( (char *)__mptr);})
439 #define new(structname) ({ \
440 struct structname *__ptr = ((struct structname *)calloc(1,sizeof(struct structname))); \
441 __ptr->type = X##structname; \
442 __ptr->line = -1; __ptr->column = -1; \
445 #define new_pos(structname, token) ({ \
446 struct structname *__ptr = ((struct structname *)calloc(1,sizeof(struct structname))); \
447 __ptr->type = X##structname; \
448 __ptr->line = token.line; __ptr->column = token.col; \
457 enum exec_types type;
466 struct exec *left, *right;
471 static int __fput_loc(struct exec *loc, FILE *f)
475 if (loc->line >= 0) {
476 fprintf(f, "%d:%d: ", loc->line, loc->column);
479 if (loc->type == Xbinode)
480 return __fput_loc(cast(binode,loc)->left, f) ||
481 __fput_loc(cast(binode,loc)->right, f); // NOTEST
484 static void fput_loc(struct exec *loc, FILE *f)
486 if (!__fput_loc(loc, f))
487 fprintf(f, "??:??: "); // NOTEST
490 Each different type of `exec` node needs a number of functions defined,
491 a bit like methods. We must be able to free it, print it, analyse it
492 and execute it. Once we have specific `exec` types we will need to
493 parse them too. Let's take this a bit more slowly.
497 The parser generator requires a `free_foo` function for each struct
498 that stores attributes and they will often be `exec`s and subtypes
499 there-of. So we need `free_exec` which can handle all the subtypes,
500 and we need `free_binode`.

514 static void free_exec(struct exec *e)
525 static void free_exec(struct exec *e);
527 ###### free exec cases
528 case Xbinode: free_binode(cast(binode, e)); break;
532 Printing an `exec` requires that we know the current indent level for
533 printing line-oriented components. As will become clear later, we
534 also want to know what sort of bracketing to use.
538 static void do_indent(int i, char *str)
545 ###### core functions
546 static void print_binode(struct binode *b, int indent, int bracket)
550 ## print binode cases
554 static void print_exec(struct exec *e, int indent, int bracket)
560 print_binode(cast(binode, e), indent, bracket); break;
565 do_indent(indent, "/* FREE");
566 for (v = e->to_free; v; v = v->next_free) {
567 printf(" %.*s", v->name->name.len, v->name->name.txt);
568 printf("[%d,%d]", v->scope_start, v->scope_end);
569 if (v->frame_pos >= 0)
570 printf("(%d+%d)", v->frame_pos,
571 v->type ? v->type->size:0);
579 static void print_exec(struct exec *e, int indent, int bracket);
583 As discussed, analysis involves propagating type requirements around the
584 program and looking for errors.
586 So `propagate_types` is passed an expected type (being a `struct type`
587 pointer together with some `val_rules` flags) that the `exec` is
588 expected to return, and returns the type that it does return, either of
589 which can be `NULL` signifying "unknown". A `prop_err` flag set is
590 passed by reference. It has `Efail` set when an error is found, and
591 `Eretry` when the type for some element is set via propagation. If
592 any expression cannot be evaluated a compile time, `Eruntime` is set.
593 If the expression can be copied, `Emaycopy` is set.
595 If `Erval` is set, then the value cannot be assigned to because it is
596 a temporary result. If `Erval` is clear but `Econst` is set, then
597 the value can only be assigned once, when the variable is declared.
601 enum val_rules {Rboolok = 1<<0, Rrefok = 1<<1,};
602 enum prop_err {Efail = 1<<0, Eretry = 1<<1, Eruntime = 1<<2,

648 Interpreting an `exec` doesn't require anything but the `exec`. State
649 is stored in variables and each variable will be directly linked from
650 within the `exec` tree. The exception to this is the `main` function
651 which needs to look at command line arguments. This function will be
652 interpreted separately.
654 Each `exec` can return a value combined with a type in `struct lrval`.
655 The type may be `Tnone` but must be non-NULL. Some `exec`s will return
656 the location of a value, which can be updated, in `lval`. Others will
657 set `lval` to NULL indicating that there is a value of appropriate type

762 Values come in a wide range of types, with more likely to be added.
763 Each type needs to be able to print its own values (for convenience at
764 least) as well as to compare two values, at least for equality and
765 possibly for order. For now, values might need to be duplicated and
766 freed, though eventually such manipulations will be better integrated
769 Rather than requiring every numeric type to support all numeric
770 operations (add, multiply, etc), we allow types to be able to present
771 as one of a few standard types: integer, float, and fraction. The
772 existence of these conversion functions eventually enable types to
773 determine if they are compatible with other types, though such types
774 have not yet been implemented.
776 Named type are stored in a simple linked list. Objects of each type are
777 "values" which are often passed around by value.
779 There are both explicitly named types, and anonymous types. Anonymous
780 cannot be accessed by name, but are used internally and have a name
781 which might be reported in error messages.

1016 Type can be specified for local variables, for fields in a structure,
1017 for formal parameters to functions, and possibly elsewhere. Different
1018 rules may apply in different contexts. As a minimum, a named type may
1019 always be used. Currently the type of a formal parameter can be
1020 different from types in other contexts, so we have a separate grammar
1026 Type -> IDENTIFIER ${
1027 $0 = find_type(c, $ID.txt);
1029 $0 = add_type(c, $ID.txt, NULL);
1030 $0->first_use = $ID;
1035 FormalType -> Type ${ $0 = $<1; }$
1036 ## formal type grammar
1040 Values of the base types can be numbers, which we represent as
1041 multi-precision fractions, strings, Booleans and labels. When
1042 analysing the program we also need to allow for places where no value
1043 is meaningful (type `Tnone`) and where we don't know what type to
1044 expect yet (type is `NULL`).
1046 Values are never shared, they are always copied when used, and freed
1047 when no longer needed.
1049 When propagating type information around the program, we need to
1050 determine if two types are compatible, where type `NULL` is compatible
1051 with anything. There are two special cases with type compatibility,
1052 both related to the Conditional Statement which will be described
1053 later. In some cases a Boolean can be accepted as well as some other
1054 primary type, and in others any type is acceptable except a label (`Vlabel`).
1055 A separate function encoding these cases will simplify some code later.

1459 Variables are scoped named values. We store the names in a linked list
1460 of "bindings" sorted in lexical order, and use sequential search and
1467 struct binding *next; // in lexical order
1471 This linked list is stored in the parse context so that "reduce"
1472 functions can find or add variables, and so the analysis phase can

1499 Each name can be linked to multiple variables defined in different
1500 scopes. Each scope starts where the name is declared and continues
1501 until the end of the containing code block. Scopes of a given name
1502 cannot nest, so a declaration while a name is in-scope is an error.

1517 When a scope closes, the values of the variables might need to be freed.

1561 Scopes in parallel branches can be partially merged. More
1562 specifically, if a given name is declared in both branches of an
1563 if/else then its scope is a candidate for merging. Similarly if
1564 every branch of an exhaustive switch (e.g. has an "else" clause)
1565 declares a given name, then the scopes from the branches are
1566 candidates for merging.
1568 Note that names declared inside a loop (which is only parallel to
1569 itself) are never visible after the loop. Similarly names defined in
1570 scopes which are not parallel, such as those started by `for` and
1571 `switch`, are never visible after the scope. Only variables defined in
1572 both `then` and `else` (including the implicit then after an `if`, and
1573 excluding `then` used with `for`) and in all `case`s and `else` of a
1574 `switch` or `while` can be visible beyond the `if`/`switch`/`while`.
1576 Labels, which are a bit like variables, follow different rules.
1577 Labels are not explicitly declared, but if an undeclared name appears
1578 in a context where a label is legal, that effectively declares the
1579 name as a label. The declaration remains in force (or in scope) at
1580 least to the end of the immediately containing block and conditionally
1581 in any larger containing block which does not declare the name in some
1582 other way. Importantly, the conditional scope extension happens even
1583 if the label is only used in one parallel branch of a conditional --
1584 when used in one branch it is treated as having been declared in all
1587 Merge candidates are tentatively visible beyond the end of the
1588 branching statement which creates them. If the name is used, the
1589 merge is affirmed and they become a single variable visible at the
1590 outer layer. If not - if it is redeclared first - the merge lapses.
1592 To track scopes we have an extra stack, implemented as a linked list,
1593 which roughly parallels the parse stack and which is used exclusively
1594 for scoping. When a new scope is opened, a new frame is pushed and
1595 the child-count of the parent frame is incremented. This child-count
1596 is used to distinguish between the first of a set of parallel scopes,
1597 in which declared variables must not be in scope, and subsequent
1598 branches, whether they may already be conditionally scoped.
1600 We need a total ordering of scopes so we can easily compare to variables
1601 to see if they are concurrently in scope. To achieve this we record a
1602 `scope_count` which is actually a count of both beginnings and endings
1603 of scopes. Then each variable has a record of the scope count where it
1604 enters scope, and where it leaves.
1606 To push a new frame *before* any code in the frame is parsed, we need a
1607 grammar reduction. This is most easily achieved with a grammar
1608 element which derives the empty string, and creates the new scope when
1609 it is recognised. This can be placed, for example, between a keyword
1610 like "if" and the code following it.

1653 Each variable records a scope depth and is in one of four states:
1655 - "in scope". This is the case between the declaration of the
1656 variable and the end of the containing block, and also between
1657 the usage with affirms a merge and the end of that block.
1659 The scope depth is not greater than the current parse context scope
1660 nest depth. When the block of that depth closes, the state will
1661 change. To achieve this, all "in scope" variables are linked
1662 together as a stack in nesting order.
1664 - "pending". The "in scope" block has closed, but other parallel
1665 scopes are still being processed. So far, every parallel block at
1666 the same level that has closed has declared the name.
1668 The scope depth is the depth of the last parallel block that
1669 enclosed the declaration, and that has closed.
1671 - "conditionally in scope". The "in scope" block and all parallel
1672 scopes have closed, and no further mention of the name has been seen.
1673 This state includes a secondary nest depth (`min_depth`) which records
1674 the outermost scope seen since the variable became conditionally in
1675 scope. If a use of the name is found, the variable becomes "in scope"
1676 and that secondary depth becomes the recorded scope depth. If the
1677 name is declared as a new variable, the old variable becomes "out of
1678 scope" and the recorded scope depth stays unchanged.
1680 - "out of scope". The variable is neither in scope nor conditionally
1681 in scope. It is permanently out of scope now and can be removed from
1682 the "in scope" stack. When a variable becomes out-of-scope it is
1683 moved to a separate list (`out_scope`) of variables which have fully
1684 known scope. This will be used at the end of each function to assign
1685 each variable a place in the stack frame.

1697 All variables with the same name are linked together using the
1698 'previous' link. Those variable that have been affirmatively merged all
1699 have a 'merged' pointer that points to one primary variable - the most
1700 recently declared instance. When merging variables, we need to also
1701 adjust the 'merged' pointer on any other variables that had previously
1702 been merged with the one that will no longer be primary.
1704 A variable that is no longer the most recent instance of a name may
1705 still have "pending" scope, if it might still be merged with most
1706 recent instance. These variables don't really belong in the
1707 "in_scope" list, but are not immediately removed when a new instance
1708 is found. Instead, they are detected and ignored when considering the
1709 list of in_scope names.
1711 The storage of the value of a variable will be described later. For now
1712 we just need to know that when a variable goes out of scope, it might
1713 need to be freed. For this we need to be able to find it, so assume that
1714 `var_value()` will provide that.

1765 #### Manipulating Bindings
1767 When a name is conditionally visible, a new declaration discards the old
1768 binding - the condition lapses. Similarly when we reach the end of a
1769 function (outermost non-global scope) any conditional scope must lapse.
1770 Conversely a usage of the name affirms the visibility and extends it to
1771 the end of the containing block - i.e. the block that contains both the
1772 original declaration and the latest usage. This is determined from
1773 `min_depth`. When a conditionally visible variable gets affirmed like
1774 this, it is also merged with other conditionally visible variables with
1777 When we parse a variable declaration we either report an error if the
1778 name is currently bound, or create a new variable at the current nest
1779 depth if the name is unbound or bound to a conditionally scoped or
1780 pending-scope variable. If the previous variable was conditionally
1781 scoped, it and its homonyms becomes out-of-scope.
1783 When we parse a variable reference (including non-declarative assignment
1784 "foo = bar") we report an error if the name is not bound or is bound to
1785 a pending-scope variable; update the scope if the name is bound to a
1786 conditionally scoped variable; or just proceed normally if the named
1787 variable is in scope.
1789 When we exit a scope, any variables bound at this level are either
1790 marked out of scope or pending-scoped, depending on whether the scope
1791 was sequential or parallel. Here a "parallel" scope means the "then"
1792 or "else" part of a conditional, or any "case" or "else" branch of a
1793 switch. Other scopes are "sequential".
1795 When exiting a parallel scope we check if there are any variables that
1796 were previously pending and are still visible. If there are, then
1797 they weren't redeclared in the most recent scope, so they cannot be
1798 merged and must become out-of-scope. If it is not the first of
1799 parallel scopes (based on `child_count`), we check that there was a
1800 previous binding that is still pending-scope. If there isn't, the new
1801 variable must now be out-of-scope.
1803 When exiting a sequential scope that immediately enclosed parallel
1804 scopes, we need to resolve any pending-scope variables. If there was
1805 no `else` clause, and we cannot determine that the `switch` was exhaustive,
1806 we need to mark all pending-scope variable as out-of-scope. Otherwise
1807 all pending-scope variables become conditionally scoped.

1989 The value of a variable is store separately from the variable, on an
1990 analogue of a stack frame. There are (currently) two frames that can be
1991 active. A global frame which currently only stores constants, and a
1992 stacked frame which stores local variables. Each variable knows if it
1993 is global or not, and what its index into the frame is.
1995 Values in the global frame are known immediately they are relevant, so
1996 the frame needs to be reallocated as it grows so it can store those
1997 values. The local frame doesn't get values until the interpreted phase
1998 is started, so there is no need to allocate until the size is known.
2000 We initialize the `frame_pos` to an impossible value, so that we can
2001 tell if it was set or not later.

2075 We keep the stack from dense by re-using space for between variables
2076 that are not in scope at the same time. The `out_scope` list is sorted
2077 by `scope_start` and as we process a varible, we move it to an FIFO
2078 stack. For each variable we consider, we first discard any from the
2079 stack anything that went out of scope before the new variable came in.
2080 Then we place the new variable just after the one at the top of the

2123 #### Variables as executables
2125 Just as we used a `val` to wrap a value into an `exec`, we similarly
2126 need a `var` to wrap a `variable` into an exec. While each `val`
2127 contained a copy of the value, each `var` holds a link to the variable
2128 because it really is the same variable no matter where it appears.
2129 When a variable is used, we need to remember to follow the `->merged`
2130 link to find the primary instance.
2132 When a variable is declared, it may or may not be given an explicit
2133 type. We need to record which so that we can report the parsed code

2324 Now that we have the shape of the interpreter in place we can add some
2325 complex types and connected them in to the data structures and the
2326 different phases of parse, analyse, print, interpret.
2328 Being "complex" the language will naturally have syntax to access
2329 specifics of objects of these types. These will fit into the grammar as
2330 "Terms" which are the things that are combined with various operators to
2331 form "Expression". Where a Term is formed by some operation on another
2332 Term, the subordinate Term will always come first, so for example a
2333 member of an array will be expressed as the Term for the array followed
2334 by an index in square brackets. The strict rule of using postfix
2335 operations makes precedence irrelevant within terms. To provide a place
2336 to put the grammar for each terms of each type, we will start out by
2337 introducing the "Term" grammar production, with contains at least a
2338 simple "Value" (to be explained later).
2342 Term -> Value ${ $0 = $<1; }$
2343 | Variable ${ $0 = $<1; }$
2346 Thus far the complex types we have are arrays and structs.
2350 Arrays can be declared by giving a size and a type, as `[size]type' so
2351 `freq:[26]number` declares `freq` to be an array of 26 numbers. The
2352 size can be either a literal number, or a named constant. Some day an
2353 arbitrary expression will be supported.
2355 As a formal parameter to a function, the array can be declared with a
2356 new variable as the size: `name:[size::number]string`. The `size`
2357 variable is set to the size of the array and must be a constant. As
2358 `number` is the only supported type, it can be left out:
2359 `name:[size::]string`.
2361 Arrays cannot be assigned. When pointers are introduced we will also
2362 introduce array slices which can refer to part or all of an array -
2363 the assignment syntax will create a slice. For now, an array can only
2364 ever be referenced by the name it is declared with. It is likely that
2365 a "`copy`" primitive will eventually be define which can be used to
2366 make a copy of an array with controllable recursive depth.
2368 For now we have two sorts of array, those with fixed size either because
2369 it is given as a literal number or because it is a struct member (which
2370 cannot have a runtime-changing size), and those with a size that is
2371 determined at runtime - local variables with a const size. The former
2372 have their size calculated at parse time, the latter at run time.
2374 For the latter type, the `size` field of the type is the size of a
2375 pointer, and the array is reallocated every time it comes into scope.
2377 We differentiate struct fields with a const size from local variables
2378 with a const size by whether they are prepared at parse time or not.

2664 A `struct` is a data-type that contains one or more other data-types.
2665 It differs from an array in that each member can be of a different
2666 type, and they are accessed by name rather than by number. Thus you
2667 cannot choose an element by calculation, you need to know what you
2670 The language makes no promises about how a given structure will be
2671 stored in memory - it is free to rearrange fields to suit whatever
2672 criteria seems important.
2674 Structs are declared separately from program code - they cannot be
2675 declared in-line in a variable declaration like arrays can. A struct
2676 is given a name and this name is used to identify the type - the name
2677 is not prefixed by the word `struct` as it would be in C.
2679 Structs are only treated as the same if they have the same name.
2680 Simply having the same fields in the same order is not enough. This
2681 might change once we can create structure initializers from a list of
2684 Each component datum is identified much like a variable is declared,
2685 with a name, one or two colons, and a type. The type cannot be omitted
2686 as there is no opportunity to deduce the type from usage. An initial
2687 value can be given following an equals sign, so
2689 ##### Example: a struct type
2695 would declare a type called "complex" which has two number fields,
2696 each initialised to zero.
2698 Struct will need to be declared separately from the code that uses
2699 them, so we will need to be able to print out the declaration of a
2700 struct when reprinting the whole program. So a `print_type_decl` type
2701 function will be needed.

3059 References, or pointers, are values that refer to another value. They
3060 can only refer to a `struct`, though as a struct can embed anything they
3061 can effectively refer to anything.
3063 References are potentially dangerous as they might refer to some
3064 variable which no longer exists - either because a stack frame
3065 containing it has been discarded or because the value was allocated on
3066 the heap and has now been free. Ocean does not yet provide any
3067 protection against these problems. It will in due course.
3069 With references comes the opportunity and the need to explicitly
3070 allocate values on the "heap" and to free them. We currently provide
3071 fairly basic support for this.
3073 Reference make use of the `@` symbol in various ways. A type that starts
3074 with `@` is a reference to whatever follows. A reference value
3075 followed by an `@` acts as the referred value, though the `@` is often
3076 not needed. Finally, an expression that starts with `@` is a special
3077 reference related expression. Some examples might help.
3079 ##### Example: Reference examples
3086 bar.number = 23; bar.string = "hello"
3097 Obviously this is very contrived. `ref` is a reference to a `foo` which
3098 is initially set to refer to the value stored in `bar` - no extra syntax
3099 is needed to "Take the address of" `bar` - the fact that `ref` is a
3100 reference means that only the address make sense.
3102 When `ref.a` is accessed, that is whatever value is stored in `bar.a`.
3103 The same syntax is used for accessing fields both in structs and in
3104 references to structs. It would be correct to use `ref@.a`, but not
3107 `@new()` creates an object of whatever type is needed for the program
3108 to by type-correct. In future iterations of Ocean, arguments a
3109 constructor will access arguments, so the the syntax now looks like a
3110 function call. `@free` can be assigned any reference that was returned
3111 by `@new()`, and it will be freed. `@nil` is a value of whatever
3112 reference type is appropriate, and is stable and never the address of
3113 anything in the heap or on the stack. A reference can be assigned
3114 `@nil` or compared against that value.

3415 A function is a chunk of code which can be passed parameters and can
3416 return results. Each function has a type which includes the set of
3417 parameters and the return value. As yet these types cannot be declared
3418 separately from the function itself.
3420 The parameters can be specified either in parentheses as a ';' separated
3423 ##### Example: function 1
3425 func main(av:[ac::number]string; env:[envc::number]string)
3428 or as an indented list of one parameter per line (though each line can
3429 be a ';' separated list)
3431 ##### Example: function 2
3434 argv:[argc::number]string
3435 env:[envc::number]string
3439 In the first case a return type can follow the parentheses after a colon,
3440 in the second it is given on a line starting with the word `return`.
3442 ##### Example: functions that return
3444 func add(a:number; b:number): number
3454 Rather than returning a type, the function can specify a set of local
3455 variables to return as a struct. The values of these variables when the
3456 function exits will be provided to the caller. For this the return type
3457 is replaced with a block of result declarations, either in parentheses
3458 or bracketed by `return` and `do`.
3460 ##### Example: functions returning multiple variables
3462 func to_cartesian(rho:number; theta:number):(x:number; y:number)
3475 For constructing the lists we use a `List` binode, which will be
3476 further detailed when Expression Lists are introduced.

3674 ##### Function calls
3676 A function call can appear either as an expression or as a statement.
3677 We use a new 'Funcall' binode type to link the function with a list of
3678 arguments, form with the 'List' nodes.
3680 We have already seen the "Term" which is how a function call can appear
3681 in an expression. To parse a function call into a statement we include
3682 it in the "SimpleStatement Grammar" which will be described later.

3790 ## Complex executables: statements and expressions
3792 Now that we have types and values and variables and most of the basic
3793 Terms which provide access to these, we can explore the more complex
3794 code that combine all of these to get useful work done. Specifically
3795 statements and expressions.
3797 Expressions are various combinations of Terms. We will use operator
3798 precedence to ensure correct parsing. The simplest Expression is just a
3799 Term - others will follow.
3804 Expression -> Term ${ $0 = $<Term; }$
3805 ## expression grammar
3807 ### Expressions: Conditional
3809 Our first user of the `binode` will be conditional expressions, which
3810 is a bit odd as they actually have three components. That will be
3811 handled by having 2 binodes for each expression. The conditional
3812 expression is the lowest precedence operator which is why we define it
3813 first - to start the precedence list.
3815 Conditional expressions are of the form "value `if` condition `else`
3816 other_value". They associate to the right, so everything to the right
3817 of `else` is part of an else value, while only a higher-precedence to
3818 the left of `if` is the if values. Between `if` and `else` there is no
3819 room for ambiguity, so a full conditional expression is allowed in

3877 rv = interp_exec(c, b2->right, &rvtype);
3883 We take a brief detour, now that we have expressions, to describe lists
3884 of expressions. These will be needed for function parameters and
3885 possibly other situations. They seem generic enough to introduce here
3886 to be used elsewhere.
3888 And ExpressionList will use the `List` type of `binode`, building up at
3889 the end. And place where they are used will probably call
3890 `reorder_bilist()` to get a more normal first/next arrangement.
3892 ###### declare terminals
3895 `List` execs have no implicit semantics, so they are never propagated or
3896 interpreted. The can be printed as a comma separate list, which is how
3897 they are parsed. Note they are also used for function formal parameter
3898 lists. In that case a separate function is used to print them.

3932 ### Expressions: Boolean
3934 The next class of expressions to use the `binode` will be Boolean
3935 expressions. "`and then`" and "`or else`" are similar to `and` and `or`
3936 have same corresponding precendence. The difference is that they don't
3937 evaluate the second expression if not necessary.

4069 A comparison takes arguments of any comparable type, but the two types
4072 To simplify the parsing we introduce an `eop` which can record an
4073 expression operator, and the `CMPop` non-terminal will match one of them.

4187 ### Expressions: Arithmetic etc.
4189 The remaining expressions with the highest precedence are arithmetic,
4190 string concatenation, string conversion, and testing. String concatenation
4191 (`++`) has the same precedence as multiplication and division, but lower
4194 Testing comes in two forms. A single question mark (`?`) is a uniary
4195 operator which converts come types into Boolean. The general meaning is
4196 "is this a value value" and there will be more uses as the language
4197 develops. A double questionmark (`??`) is a binary operator (Choose),
4198 with same precedence as multiplication, which returns the LHS if it
4199 tests successfully, else returns the RHS.
4201 String conversion is a temporary feature until I get a better type
4202 system. `$` is a prefix operator which expects a string and returns
4205 `+` and `-` are both infix and prefix operations (where they are
4206 absolute value and negation). These have different operator names.
4208 We also have a 'Bracket' operator which records where parentheses were
4209 found. This makes it easy to reproduce these when printing. Possibly I
4210 should only insert brackets were needed for precedence. Putting
4211 parentheses around an expression converts it into a Term,

4488 Now that we have expressions out of the way we need to turn to
4489 statements. There are simple statements and more complex statements.
4490 Simple statements do not contain (syntactic) newlines, complex statements do.
4492 Statements often come in sequences and we have corresponding simple
4493 statement lists and complex statement lists.
4494 The former comprise only simple statements separated by semicolons.
4495 The later comprise complex statements and simple statement lists. They are
4496 separated by newlines. Thus the semicolon is only used to separate
4497 simple statements on the one line. This may be overly restrictive,
4498 but I'm not sure I ever want a complex statement to share a line with
4501 Note that a simple statement list can still use multiple lines if
4502 subsequent lines are indented, so
4504 ###### Example: wrapped simple statement list
4509 is a single simple statement list. This might allow room for
4510 confusion, so I'm not set on it yet.
4512 A simple statement list needs no extra syntax. A complex statement
4513 list has two syntactic forms. It can be enclosed in braces (much like
4514 C blocks), or it can be introduced by an indent and continue until an
4515 unindented newline (much like Python blocks). With this extra syntax
4516 it is referred to as a block.
4518 Note that a block does not have to include any newlines if it only
4519 contains simple statements. So both of:
4521 if condition: a=b; d=f
4523 if condition { a=b; print f }
4527 In either case the list is constructed from a `binode` list with
4528 `Block` as the operator. When parsing the list it is most convenient
4529 to append to the end, so a list is a list and a statement. When using
4530 the list it is more convenient to consider a list to be a statement
4531 and a list. So we need a function to re-order a list.
4532 `reorder_bilist` serves this purpose.
4534 The only stand-alone statement we introduce at this stage is `pass`
4535 which does nothing and is represented as a `NULL` pointer in a `Block`
4536 list. Other stand-alone statements will follow once the infrastructure
4539 As many statements will use binodes, we declare a binode pointer 'b' in
4540 the common header for all reductions to use.

4682 `print` is a simple statement that takes a comma-separated list of
4683 expressions and prints the values separated by spaces and terminated
4684 by a newline. No control of formatting is possible.
4686 `print` uses `ExpressionList` to collect the expressions and stores them
4687 on the left side of a `Print` binode unlessthere is a trailing comma
4688 when the list is stored on the `right` side and no trailing newline is

4765 ###### Assignment statement
4767 An assignment will assign a value to a variable, providing it hasn't
4768 been declared as a constant. The analysis phase ensures that the type
4769 will be correct so the interpreter just needs to perform the
4770 calculation. There is a form of assignment which declares a new
4771 variable as well as assigning a value. If a name is used before
4772 it is declared, it is assumed to be a global constant which are allowed to
4773 be declared at any time.

4945 ### The `use` statement
4947 The `use` statement is the last "simple" statement. It is needed when a
4948 statement block can return a value. This includes the body of a
4949 function which has a return type, and the "condition" code blocks in
4950 `if`, `while`, and `switch` statements.

4980 ###### interp binode cases
4983 rv = interp_exec(c, b->right, &rvtype);
4986 ### The Conditional Statement
4988 This is the biggy and currently the only complex statement. This
4989 subsumes `if`, `while`, `do/while`, `switch`, and some parts of `for`.
4990 It is comprised of a number of parts, all of which are optional though
4991 set combinations apply. Each part is (usually) a key word (`then` is
4992 sometimes optional) followed by either an expression or a code block,
4993 except the `casepart` which is a "key word and an expression" followed
4994 by a code block. The code-block option is valid for all parts and,
4995 where an expression is also allowed, the code block can use the `use`
4996 statement to report a value. If the code block does not report a value
4997 the effect is similar to reporting `True`.
4999 The `else` and `case` parts, as well as `then` when combined with
5000 `if`, can contain a `use` statement which will apply to some
5001 containing conditional statement. `for` parts, `do` parts and `then`
5002 parts used with `for` can never contain a `use`, except in some
5003 subordinate conditional statement.
5005 If there is a `forpart`, it is executed first, only once.
5006 If there is a `dopart`, then it is executed repeatedly providing
5007 always that the `condpart` or `cond`, if present, does not return a non-True
5008 value. `condpart` can fail to return any value if it simply executes
5009 to completion. This is treated the same as returning `True`.
5011 If there is a `thenpart` it will be executed whenever the `condpart`
5012 or `cond` returns True (or does not return any value), but this will happen
5013 *after* `dopart` (when present).
5015 If `elsepart` is present it will be executed at most once when the
5016 condition returns `False` or some value that isn't `True` and isn't
5017 matched by any `casepart`. If there are any `casepart`s, they will be
5018 executed when the condition returns a matching value.
5020 The particular sorts of values allowed in case parts has not yet been
5021 determined in the language design, so nothing is prohibited.
5023 The various blocks in this complex statement potentially provide scope
5024 for variables as described earlier. Each such block must include the
5025 "OpenScope" nonterminal before parsing the block, and must call
5026 `var_block_close()` when closing the block.
5028 The code following "`if`", "`switch`" and "`for`" does not get its own
5029 scope, but is in a scope covering the whole statement, so names
5030 declared there cannot be redeclared elsewhere. Similarly the
5031 condition following "`while`" is in a scope the covers the body
5032 ("`do`" part) of the loop, and which does not allow conditional scope
5033 extension. Code following "`then`" (both looping and non-looping),
5034 "`else`" and "`case`" each get their own local scope.
5036 The type requirements on the code block in a `whilepart` are quite
5037 unusal. It is allowed to return a value of some identifiable type, in
5038 which case the loop aborts and an appropriate `casepart` is run, or it
5039 can return a Boolean, in which case the loop either continues to the
5040 `dopart` (on `True`) or aborts and runs the `elsepart` (on `False`).
5041 This is different both from the `ifpart` code block which is expected to
5042 return a Boolean, or the `switchpart` code block which is expected to
5043 return the same type as the casepart values. The correct analysis of
5044 the type of the `whilepart` code block is the reason for the
5045 `Rboolok` flag which is passed to `propagate_types()`.
5047 The `cond_statement` cannot fit into a `binode` so a new `exec` is
5048 defined. As there are two scopes which cover multiple parts - one for
5049 the whole statement and one for "while" and "do" - and as we will use
5050 the 'struct exec' to track scopes, we actually need two new types of
5051 exec. One is a `binode` for the looping part, the rest is the
5052 `cond_statement`. The `cond_statement` will use an auxilliary `struct
5053 casepart` to track a list of case parts.

5483 ### Top level structure
5485 All the language elements so far can be used in various places. Now
5486 it is time to clarify what those places are.
5488 At the top level of a file there will be a number of declarations.
5489 Many of the things that can be declared haven't been described yet,
5490 such as functions, procedures, imports, and probably more.
5491 For now there are two sorts of things that can appear at the top
5492 level. They are predefined constants, `struct` types, and the `main`
5493 function. While the syntax will allow the `main` function to appear
5494 multiple times, that will trigger an error if it is actually attempted.
5496 The various declarations do not return anything. They store the
5497 various declarations in the parse context.
5499 ###### Parser: grammar

5515 Declaration -> ERROR Newlines ${
5516 tok_err(c, // NOTEST
5517 "error: unhandled parse error", &$1);
5523 ## top level grammar
5527 ### The `const` section
5529 As well as being defined in with the code that uses them, constants can
5530 be declared at the top level. These have full-file scope, so they are
5531 always `InScope`, even before(!) they have been declared. The value of
5532 a top level constant can be given as an expression, and this is
5533 evaluated after parsing and before execution.
5535 A function call can be used to evaluate a constant, but it will not have
5536 access to any program state, once such statement becomes meaningful.
5537 e.g. arguments and filesystem will not be visible.
5539 Constants are defined in a section that starts with the reserved word
5540 `const` and then has a block with a list of assignment statements.
5541 For syntactic consistency, these must use the double-colon syntax to
5542 make it clear that they are constants. Type can also be given: if
5543 not, the type will be determined during analysis, as with other

5687 ### Function declarations
5689 The code in an Ocean program is all stored in function declarations.
5690 One of the functions must be named `main` and it must accept an array of
5691 strings as a parameter - the command line arguments.
5693 As this is the top level, several things are handled a bit differently.
5694 The function is not interpreted by `interp_exec` as that isn't passed
5695 the argument list which the program requires. Similarly type analysis
5696 is a bit more interesting at this level.

5960 Having a language requires having a "hello world" program. I'll
5961 provide a little more than that: a program that prints "Hello world"
5962 finds the GCD of two numbers, prints the first few elements of
5963 Fibonacci, performs a binary search for a number, and a few other
5964 things which will likely grow as the languages grows.
