Syntax

The T standard environment includes routines which perform syntactic and semantic analysis of T programs. There are two such subsystems within T, corresponding to the language's two syntactic levels (see chapter ). These are the reader and the compiler.

In an attempt to make each of these subsystems as generally useful and flexible as possible, they are not restricted to processing the language as described in this manual. Instead, they each operate with respect to parameter clusters known as read tables, in the case of the reader, or syntax tables, in the case of the compiler.

• The reader
• Read tables and read macros
• Standard compiler
• Syntax Tables
• Defining syntax
• Local syntax
• Macro expanders
