+* `os <os.html>`_

   Basic operating system facilities like retrieving environment variables,

   reading command line arguments, working with directories, running shell

   commands, etc. This module is -- like any other basic library --

-Nimrod Manual

-=============

-

-:Author: Andreas Rumpf

-:Version: |nimrodversion|

-

-About this document

-===================

-

-This document describes the lexis, the syntax, and the semantics of Nimrod.

-

-The language constructs are explained using an extended BNF, in

-which ``(a)*`` means 0 or more ``a``'s, ``a+`` means 1 or more ``a``'s, and

-``(a)?`` means an optional *a*; an alternative spelling for optional parts is

-``[a]``. The ``|`` symbol is used to mark alternatives

-and has the lowest precedence. Parentheses may be used to group elements.

-Non-terminals are in lowercase, terminal symbols (including keywords) are in

-UPPERCASE. An example::

-

-  if_stmt ::= IF expr COLON stmts (ELIF expr COLON stmts)* [ELSE stmts]

-

-Other parts of Nimrod - like scoping rules or runtime semantics are only

-described in an informal manner. The reason is that formal semantics are

-difficult to write and understand. However, there is only one Nimrod

-implementation, so one may consider it as the formal specification;

-especially since the compiler's code is pretty clean (well, some parts of it).

-

-

-Definitions

-===========

-

-A Nimrod program specifies a computation that acts on a memory consisting of

-components called `locations`:idx:. A variable is basically a name for a 

-location. Each variable and location is of a certain `type`:idx:. The 

-variable's type is called `static type`:idx:, the location's type is called 

-`dynamic type`:idx:. If the static type is not the same as the dynamic type, 

-it is a supertype of the dynamic type.

-

-An `identifier`:idx: is a symbol declared as a name for a variable, type,

-procedure, etc. The region of the program over which a declaration applies is

-called the `scope`:idx: of the declaration. Scopes can be nested. The meaning 

-of an identifier is determined by the smallest enclosing scope in which the

-identifier is declared.

-

-An expression specifies a computation that produces a value or location.

-Expressions that produce locations are called `l-values`:idx:. An l-value

-can denote either a location or the value the location contains, depending on

-the context. Expressions whose values can be determined statically are called

-`constant expressions`:idx:; they are never l-values.

-

-A `static error`:idx: is an error that the implementation detects before

-program execution. Unless explicitly classified, an error is a static error.

-

-A `checked runtime error`:idx: is an error that the implementation detects

-and reports at runtime. The method for reporting such errors is via *raising

-exceptions*. However, the implementation provides a means to disable these

-runtime checks. See the section pragmas_ for details.

-

-An `unchecked runtime error`:idx: is an error that is not guaranteed to be

-detected, and can cause the subsequent behavior of the computation to

-be arbitrary. Unchecked runtime errors cannot occur if only `safe`:idx:

-language features are used.

-

-

-Lexical Analysis

-================

-

-Encoding

---------

-

-All Nimrod source files are in the UTF-8 encoding (or its ASCII subset). Other

-encodings are not supported. Any of the standard platform line termination

-sequences can be used - the Unix form using ASCII LF (linefeed), the Windows

-form using the ASCII sequence CR LF (return followed by linefeed), or the old

-Macintosh form using the ASCII CR (return) character. All of these forms can be

-used equally, regardless of platform.

-

-

-Indentation

------------

-

-Nimrod's standard grammar describes an `indentation sensitive`:idx: language.

-This means that all the control structures are recognized by indentation.

-Indentation consists only of spaces; tabulators are not allowed.

-

-The terminals ``IND`` (indentation), ``DED`` (dedentation) and ``SAD``

-(same indentation) are generated by the scanner, denoting an indentation.

-

-These terminals are only generated for lines that are not empty or contain

-only whitespace and comments.

-

-The parser and the scanner communicate over a stack which indentation terminal

-should be generated: The stack consists of integers counting the spaces. The

-stack is initialized with a zero on its top. The scanner reads from the stack:

-If the current indentation token consists of more spaces than the entry at the

-top of the stack, a ``IND`` token is generated, else if it consists of the same

-number of spaces, a ``SAD`` token is generated. If it consists of fewer spaces,

-a ``DED`` token is generated for any item on the stack that is greater than the

-current. These items are then popped from the stack by the scanner. At the end

-of the file, a ``DED`` token is generated for each number remaining on the

-stack that is larger than zero.

-

-Because the grammar contains some optional ``IND`` tokens, the scanner cannot

-push new indentation levels. This has to be done by the parser. The symbol

-``indPush`` indicates that an ``IND`` token is expected; the current number of

-leading spaces is pushed onto the stack by the parser.

-

-Comments

---------

-

-`Comments`:idx: start anywhere outside a string or character literal with the 

-hash character ``#``.

-Comments consist of a concatenation of `comment pieces`:idx:. A comment piece 

-starts with ``#`` and runs until the end of the line. The end of line characters

-belong to the piece. If the next line only consists of a comment piece which is

-aligned to the preceding one, it does not start a new comment:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  i = 0     # This is a single comment over multiple lines belonging to the 

-            # assignment statement. The scanner merges these two pieces.

-  # This is a new comment belonging to the current block, but to no particular

-  # statement.

-  i = i + 1 # This a new comment that is NOT

-  echo(i)   # continued here, because this comment refers to the echo statement

-

-Comments are tokens; they are only allowed at certain places in the input file

-as they belong to the syntax tree! This feature enables perfect source-to-source

-transformations (such as pretty-printing) and superior documentation generators.

-A side-effect is that the human reader of the code always knows exactly which

-code snippet the comment refers to.

-

-

-Identifiers & Keywords

-----------------------

-

-`Identifiers`:idx: in Nimrod can be any string of letters, digits

-and underscores, beginning with a letter. Two immediate following

-underscores ``__`` are not allowed::

-

-  letter ::= 'A'..'Z' | 'a'..'z' | '\x80'..'\xff'

-  digit ::= '0'..'9'

-  IDENTIFIER ::= letter ( ['_'] letter | digit )*

-

-The following `keywords`:idx: are reserved and cannot be used as identifiers:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-   :file: ../data/keywords.txt

-

-Some keywords are unused; they are reserved for future developments of the

-language.

-

-Nimrod is a `style-insensitive`:idx: language. This means that it is not

-case-sensitive and even underscores are ignored:

-**type** is a reserved word, and so is **TYPE** or **T_Y_P_E**. The idea behind

-this is that this allows programmers to use their own prefered spelling style

-and libraries written by different programmers cannot use incompatible

-conventions. The editors or IDE can show the identifiers as preferred. Another

-advantage is that it frees the programmer from remembering the spelling of an

-identifier.

-

-

-Literal strings

----------------

-

-`Literal strings`:idx: can be delimited by matching double quotes, and can 

-contain the following `escape sequences`:idx:\ :

-

-==================         ===================================================

-  Escape sequence          Meaning

-==================         ===================================================

-  ``\n``                   `newline`:idx:

-  ``\r``                   `carriage return`:idx:

-  ``\l``                   `line feed`:idx:

-  ``\f``                   `form feed`:idx:

-  ``\t``                   `tabulator`:idx:

-  ``\v``                   `vertical tabulator`:idx:

-  ``\\``                   `backslash`:idx:

-  ``\"``                   `quotation mark`:idx:

-  ``\'``                   `apostrophe`:idx:

-  ``\d+``                  `character with decimal value d`:idx:;

-                           all decimal digits directly

-                           following are used for the

-                           character

-  ``\a``                   `alert`:idx:

-  ``\b``                   `backspace`:idx:

-  ``\e``                   `escape`:idx: `[ESC]`:idx:

-  ``\xHH``                 `character with hex value HH`:idx:;

-                           exactly two hex digits are allowed

-==================         ===================================================

-

-

-Strings in Nimrod may contain any 8-bit value, except embedded zeros

-which are not allowed for compability with `C`:idx:.

-

-Literal strings can also be delimited by three double squotes

-``"""`` ... ``"""``.

-Literals in this form may run for several lines, may contain ``"`` and do not

-interpret any escape sequences.

-For convenience, when the opening ``"""`` is immediately

-followed by a newline, the newline is not included in the string.

-There are also `raw string literals` that are preceded with the letter ``r``

-(or ``R``) and are delimited by matching double quotes (just like ordinary

-string literals) and do not interpret the escape sequences. This is especially

-convenient for regular expressions or Windows paths:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  var f = openFile(r"C:\texts\text.txt") # a raw string, so ``\t`` is no tab 

-

-

-Literal characters

-------------------

-

-Character literals are enclosed in single quotes ``''`` and can contain the

-same escape sequences as strings - with one exception: ``\n`` is not allowed

-as it may be wider than one character (often it is the pair CR/LF for example).

-A character is not an Unicode character but a single byte. The reason for this

-is efficiency: For the overwhelming majority of use-cases, the resulting

-programs will still handle UTF-8 properly as UTF-8 was specially designed for

-this.

-Another reason is that Nimrod should support ``array[char, int]`` or

-``set[char]`` efficiently as many algorithms rely on this feature.

-

-

-Numerical constants

--------------------

-

-`Numerical constants`:idx: are of a single type and have the form::

-

-  hexdigit ::= digit | 'A'..'F' | 'a'..'f'

-  octdigit ::= '0'..'7'

-  bindigit ::= '0'..'1'

-  INT_LIT ::= digit ( ['_'] digit )*

-            | '0' ('x' | 'X' ) hexdigit ( ['_'] hexdigit )*

-            | '0o' octdigit ( ['_'] octdigit )*

-            | '0' ('b' | 'B' ) bindigit ( ['_'] bindigit )*

-

-  INT8_LIT ::= INT_LIT '\'' ('i' | 'I' ) '8'

-  INT16_LIT ::= INT_LIT '\'' ('i' | 'I' ) '16'

-  INT32_LIT ::= INT_LIT '\'' ('i' | 'I' ) '32'

-  INT64_LIT ::= INT_LIT '\'' ('i' | 'I' ) '64'

-

-  exponent ::= ('e' | 'E' ) ['+' | '-'] digit ( ['_'] digit )*

-  FLOAT_LIT ::= digit (['_'] digit)*  ('.' (['_'] digit)* [exponent] |exponent)

-  FLOAT32_LIT ::= ( FLOAT_LIT | INT_LIT ) '\'' ('f' | 'F') '32'

-  FLOAT64_LIT ::= ( FLOAT_LIT | INT_LIT ) '\'' ('f' | 'F') '64'

-

-

-As can be seen in the productions, numerical constants can contain unterscores

-for readability. Integer and floating point literals may be given in decimal (no

-prefix), binary (prefix ``0b``), octal (prefix ``0o``) and

-hexadecimal (prefix ``0x``) notation.

-

-There exists a literal for each numerical type that is

-defined. The suffix starting with an apostophe ('\'') is called a

-`type suffix`:idx:. Literals without a type prefix are of the type ``int``, 

-unless the literal contains a dot or an ``E`` in which case it is of 

-type ``float``.

-

-The following table specifies type suffixes:

-

-=================    =========================

-  Type Suffix        Resulting type of literal

-=================    =========================

-  ``'i8``            int8

-  ``'i16``           int16

-  ``'i32``           int32

-  ``'i64``           int64

-  ``'f32``           float32

-  ``'f64``           float64

-=================    =========================

-

-Floating point literals may also be in binary, octal or hexadecimal

-notation:

-``0B0_10001110100_0000101001000111101011101111111011000101001101001001'f64``

-is approximately 1.72826e35 according to the IEEE floating point standard.

-

-

-

-Other tokens

-------------

-

-The following strings denote other tokens::

-

-       (     )     {     }     [     ]     ,  ;   [.    .]  {.   .}  (.  .)

-       :     =     ^     ..    `

-

-`..`:tok: takes precedence over other tokens that contain a dot: `{..}`:tok: are 

-the three tokens `{`:tok:, `..`:tok:, `}`:tok: and not the two tokens 

-`{.`:tok:, `.}`:tok:.

-

-In Nimrod one can define his own operators. An `operator`:idx: is any

-combination of the following characters that are not listed above::

-

-       +     -     *     /     <     >

-       =     @     $     ~     &     %

-       !     ?     ^     .     |

-

-These keywords are also operators:

-``and or not xor shl shr div mod in notin is isnot``.

-

-

-Syntax

-======

-

-This section lists Nimrod's standard syntax in ENBF. How the parser receives

-indentation tokens is already described in the Lexical Analysis section.

-

-Nimrod allows user-definable operators.

-Binary operators have 8 different levels of precedence. For user-defined

-operators, the precedence depends on the first character the operator consists

-of. All binary operators are left-associative.

-

+
+About this document
+===================
+
+This document describes the lexis, the syntax, and the semantics of Nimrod.
+
+The language constructs are explained using an extended BNF, in
+which ``(a)*`` means 0 or more ``a``'s, ``a+`` means 1 or more ``a``'s, and
+``(a)?`` means an optional *a*; an alternative spelling for optional parts is
+``[a]``. The ``|`` symbol is used to mark alternatives
+and has the lowest precedence. Parentheses may be used to group elements.
+Non-terminals are in lowercase, terminal symbols (including keywords) are in
+UPPERCASE. An example::
+
+  if_stmt ::= IF expr COLON stmts (ELIF expr COLON stmts)* [ELSE stmts]
+
+Other parts of Nimrod - like scoping rules or runtime semantics are only
+described in an informal manner. The reason is that formal semantics are
+difficult to write and understand. However, there is only one Nimrod
+implementation, so one may consider it as the formal specification;
+especially since the compiler's code is pretty clean (well, some parts of it).
+
+
+Definitions
+===========
+
+A Nimrod program specifies a computation that acts on a memory consisting of
+components called `locations`:idx:. A variable is basically a name for a
+location. Each variable and location is of a certain `type`:idx:. The
+variable's type is called `static type`:idx:, the location's type is called
+`dynamic type`:idx:. If the static type is not the same as the dynamic type,
+it is a supertype of the dynamic type.
+
+An `identifier`:idx: is a symbol declared as a name for a variable, type,
+procedure, etc. The region of the program over which a declaration applies is
+called the `scope`:idx: of the declaration. Scopes can be nested. The meaning
+of an identifier is determined by the smallest enclosing scope in which the
+identifier is declared.
+
+An expression specifies a computation that produces a value or location.
+Expressions that produce locations are called `l-values`:idx:. An l-value
+can denote either a location or the value the location contains, depending on
+the context. Expressions whose values can be determined statically are called
+`constant expressions`:idx:; they are never l-values.
+
+A `static error`:idx: is an error that the implementation detects before
+program execution. Unless explicitly classified, an error is a static error.
+
+A `checked runtime error`:idx: is an error that the implementation detects
+and reports at runtime. The method for reporting such errors is via *raising
+exceptions*. However, the implementation provides a means to disable these
+runtime checks. See the section pragmas_ for details.
+
+An `unchecked runtime error`:idx: is an error that is not guaranteed to be
+detected, and can cause the subsequent behavior of the computation to
+be arbitrary. Unchecked runtime errors cannot occur if only `safe`:idx:
+language features are used.
+
+
+Lexical Analysis
+================
+
+Encoding
+--------
+
+All Nimrod source files are in the UTF-8 encoding (or its ASCII subset). Other
+encodings are not supported. Any of the standard platform line termination
+sequences can be used - the Unix form using ASCII LF (linefeed), the Windows
+form using the ASCII sequence CR LF (return followed by linefeed), or the old
+Macintosh form using the ASCII CR (return) character. All of these forms can be
+used equally, regardless of platform.
+
+
+Indentation
+-----------
+
+Nimrod's standard grammar describes an `indentation sensitive`:idx: language.
+This means that all the control structures are recognized by indentation.
+Indentation consists only of spaces; tabulators are not allowed.
+
+The terminals ``IND`` (indentation), ``DED`` (dedentation) and ``SAD``
+(same indentation) are generated by the scanner, denoting an indentation.
+
+These terminals are only generated for lines that are not empty or contain
+only whitespace and comments.
+
+The parser and the scanner communicate over a stack which indentation terminal
+should be generated: The stack consists of integers counting the spaces. The
+stack is initialized with a zero on its top. The scanner reads from the stack:
+If the current indentation token consists of more spaces than the entry at the
+top of the stack, a ``IND`` token is generated, else if it consists of the same
+number of spaces, a ``SAD`` token is generated. If it consists of fewer spaces,
+a ``DED`` token is generated for any item on the stack that is greater than the
+current. These items are then popped from the stack by the scanner. At the end
+of the file, a ``DED`` token is generated for each number remaining on the
+stack that is larger than zero.
+
+Because the grammar contains some optional ``IND`` tokens, the scanner cannot
+push new indentation levels. This has to be done by the parser. The symbol
+``indPush`` indicates that an ``IND`` token is expected; the current number of
+leading spaces is pushed onto the stack by the parser.
+
+Comments
+--------
+
+`Comments`:idx: start anywhere outside a string or character literal with the
+hash character ``#``.
+Comments consist of a concatenation of `comment pieces`:idx:. A comment piece
+starts with ``#`` and runs until the end of the line. The end of line characters
+belong to the piece. If the next line only consists of a comment piece which is
+aligned to the preceding one, it does not start a new comment:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  i = 0     # This is a single comment over multiple lines belonging to the
+            # assignment statement. The scanner merges these two pieces.
+  # This is a new comment belonging to the current block, but to no particular
+  # statement.
+  i = i + 1 # This a new comment that is NOT
+  echo(i)   # continued here, because this comment refers to the echo statement
+
+Comments are tokens; they are only allowed at certain places in the input file
+as they belong to the syntax tree! This feature enables perfect source-to-source
+transformations (such as pretty-printing) and superior documentation generators.
+A side-effect is that the human reader of the code always knows exactly which
+code snippet the comment refers to.
+
+
+Identifiers & Keywords
+----------------------
+
+`Identifiers`:idx: in Nimrod can be any string of letters, digits
+and underscores, beginning with a letter. Two immediate following
+underscores ``__`` are not allowed::
+
+  letter ::= 'A'..'Z' | 'a'..'z' | '\x80'..'\xff'
+  digit ::= '0'..'9'
+  IDENTIFIER ::= letter ( ['_'] letter | digit )*
+
+The following `keywords`:idx: are reserved and cannot be used as identifiers:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+   :file: ../data/keywords.txt
+
+Some keywords are unused; they are reserved for future developments of the
+language.
+
+Nimrod is a `style-insensitive`:idx: language. This means that it is not
+case-sensitive and even underscores are ignored:
+**type** is a reserved word, and so is **TYPE** or **T_Y_P_E**. The idea behind
+this is that this allows programmers to use their own prefered spelling style
+and libraries written by different programmers cannot use incompatible
+conventions. The editors or IDE can show the identifiers as preferred. Another
+advantage is that it frees the programmer from remembering the spelling of an
+identifier.
+
+
+Literal strings
+---------------
+
+`Literal strings`:idx: can be delimited by matching double quotes, and can
+contain the following `escape sequences`:idx:\ :
+
+==================         ===================================================
+  Escape sequence          Meaning
+==================         ===================================================
+  ``\n``                   `newline`:idx:
+  ``\r``                   `carriage return`:idx:
+  ``\l``                   `line feed`:idx:
+  ``\f``                   `form feed`:idx:
+  ``\t``                   `tabulator`:idx:
+  ``\v``                   `vertical tabulator`:idx:
+  ``\\``                   `backslash`:idx:
+  ``\"``                   `quotation mark`:idx:
+  ``\'``                   `apostrophe`:idx:
+  ``\d+``                  `character with decimal value d`:idx:;
+                           all decimal digits directly
+                           following are used for the
+                           character
+  ``\a``                   `alert`:idx:
+  ``\b``                   `backspace`:idx:
+  ``\e``                   `escape`:idx: `[ESC]`:idx:
+  ``\xHH``                 `character with hex value HH`:idx:;
+                           exactly two hex digits are allowed
+==================         ===================================================
+
+
+Strings in Nimrod may contain any 8-bit value, except embedded zeros
+which are not allowed for compability with `C`:idx:.
+
+Literal strings can also be delimited by three double squotes
+``"""`` ... ``"""``.
+Literals in this form may run for several lines, may contain ``"`` and do not
+interpret any escape sequences.
+For convenience, when the opening ``"""`` is immediately
+followed by a newline, the newline is not included in the string.
+There are also `raw string literals` that are preceded with the letter ``r``
+(or ``R``) and are delimited by matching double quotes (just like ordinary
+string literals) and do not interpret the escape sequences. This is especially
+convenient for regular expressions or Windows paths:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  var f = openFile(r"C:\texts\text.txt") # a raw string, so ``\t`` is no tab
+
+
+Literal characters
+------------------
+
+Character literals are enclosed in single quotes ``''`` and can contain the
+same escape sequences as strings - with one exception: ``\n`` is not allowed
+as it may be wider than one character (often it is the pair CR/LF for example).
+A character is not an Unicode character but a single byte. The reason for this
+is efficiency: For the overwhelming majority of use-cases, the resulting
+programs will still handle UTF-8 properly as UTF-8 was specially designed for
+this.
+Another reason is that Nimrod should support ``array[char, int]`` or
+``set[char]`` efficiently as many algorithms rely on this feature.
+
+
+Numerical constants
+-------------------
+
+`Numerical constants`:idx: are of a single type and have the form::
+
+  hexdigit ::= digit | 'A'..'F' | 'a'..'f'
+  octdigit ::= '0'..'7'
+  bindigit ::= '0'..'1'
+  INT_LIT ::= digit ( ['_'] digit )*
+            | '0' ('x' | 'X' ) hexdigit ( ['_'] hexdigit )*
+            | '0o' octdigit ( ['_'] octdigit )*
+            | '0' ('b' | 'B' ) bindigit ( ['_'] bindigit )*
+
+  INT8_LIT ::= INT_LIT '\'' ('i' | 'I' ) '8'
+  INT16_LIT ::= INT_LIT '\'' ('i' | 'I' ) '16'
+  INT32_LIT ::= INT_LIT '\'' ('i' | 'I' ) '32'
+  INT64_LIT ::= INT_LIT '\'' ('i' | 'I' ) '64'
+
+  exponent ::= ('e' | 'E' ) ['+' | '-'] digit ( ['_'] digit )*
+  FLOAT_LIT ::= digit (['_'] digit)*  ('.' (['_'] digit)* [exponent] |exponent)
+  FLOAT32_LIT ::= ( FLOAT_LIT | INT_LIT ) '\'' ('f' | 'F') '32'
+  FLOAT64_LIT ::= ( FLOAT_LIT | INT_LIT ) '\'' ('f' | 'F') '64'
+
+
+As can be seen in the productions, numerical constants can contain unterscores
+for readability. Integer and floating point literals may be given in decimal (no
+prefix), binary (prefix ``0b``), octal (prefix ``0o``) and
+hexadecimal (prefix ``0x``) notation.
+
+There exists a literal for each numerical type that is
+defined. The suffix starting with an apostophe ('\'') is called a
+`type suffix`:idx:. Literals without a type prefix are of the type ``int``,
+unless the literal contains a dot or an ``E`` in which case it is of
+type ``float``.
+
+The following table specifies type suffixes:
+
+=================    =========================
+  Type Suffix        Resulting type of literal
+=================    =========================
+  ``'i8``            int8
+  ``'i16``           int16
+  ``'i32``           int32
+  ``'i64``           int64
+  ``'f32``           float32
+  ``'f64``           float64
+=================    =========================
+
+Floating point literals may also be in binary, octal or hexadecimal
+notation:
+``0B0_10001110100_0000101001000111101011101111111011000101001101001001'f64``
+is approximately 1.72826e35 according to the IEEE floating point standard.
+
+
+
+Other tokens
+------------
+
+The following strings denote other tokens::
+
+       (     )     {     }     [     ]     ,  ;   [.    .]  {.   .}  (.  .)
+       :     =     ^     ..    `
+
+`..`:tok: takes precedence over other tokens that contain a dot: `{..}`:tok: are
+the three tokens `{`:tok:, `..`:tok:, `}`:tok: and not the two tokens
+`{.`:tok:, `.}`:tok:.
+
+In Nimrod one can define his own operators. An `operator`:idx: is any
+combination of the following characters that are not listed above::
+
+       +     -     *     /     <     >
+       =     @     $     ~     &     %
+       !     ?     ^     .     |
+
+These keywords are also operators:
+``and or not xor shl shr div mod in notin is isnot``.
+
+
+Syntax
+======
+
+This section lists Nimrod's standard syntax in ENBF. How the parser receives
+indentation tokens is already described in the Lexical Analysis section.
+
+Nimrod allows user-definable operators.
+Binary operators have 8 different levels of precedence. For user-defined
+operators, the precedence depends on the first character the operator consists
+of. All binary operators are left-associative.

+Semantics
+=========
+
+Constants
+---------
+
+`Constants`:idx: are symbols which are bound to a value. The constant's value
+cannot change. The compiler must be able to evaluate the expression in a
+constant declaration at compile time.
 
 ..
-  Nimrod contains a sophisticated

-  compile-time evaluator, so procedures declared with the ``{.noSideEffect.}``

-  pragma can be used in constant expressions:

-

-  .. code-block:: nimrod

-    

-    from strutils import findSubStr

-    const

-      x = findSubStr('a', "hallo") # x is 1; this is computed at compile time!

-

-

-Types

------

-

-All expressions have a `type`:idx: which is known at compile time. Thus Nimrod 

-is statically typed. One can declare new types, which is in

-essence defining an identifier that can be used to denote this custom type.

-

-These are the major type classes:

-

-* ordinal types (consist of integer, bool, character, enumeration

-  (and subranges thereof) types)

-* floating point types

-* string type

-* structured types

-* reference (pointer) type

-* procedural type

-* generic type

-

-

-Ordinal types

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-`Ordinal types`:idx: have the following characteristics:

-

-- Ordinal types are countable and ordered. This property allows

-  the operation of functions as ``Inc``, ``Ord``, ``Dec`` on ordinal types to

-  be defined.

-- Ordinal values have a smallest possible value. Trying to count farther

-  down than the smallest value gives a checked runtime or static error.

-- Ordinal values have a largest possible value. Trying to count farther

-  than the largest value gives a checked runtime or static error.

-

-Integers, bool, characters and enumeration types (and subrange of these

-types) belong to ordinal types.

-

-

-Pre-defined numerical types

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-These integer types are pre-defined:

-

-``int``

-  the generic signed integer type; its size is platform dependant

-  (the compiler chooses the processor's fastest integer type)

-  this type should be used in general. An integer literal that has no type

-  suffix is of this type.

-

-intXX

-  additional signed integer types of XX bits use this naming scheme

-  (example: int16 is a 16 bit wide integer).

-  The current implementation supports ``int8``, ``int16``, ``int32``, ``int64``.

-  Literals of these types have the suffix 'iXX.

-

-

-There are no `unsigned integer`:idx: types, only `unsigned operations`:idx: 

-that treat their arguments as unsigned. Unsigned operations all wrap around; 

-they may not lead to over- or underflow errors. Unsigned operations use the 

-``%`` postfix as convention:

-

-======================   ======================================================

-operation                meaning

-======================   ======================================================

-``a +% b``               unsigned integer addition

-``a -% b``               unsigned integer substraction

-``a *% b``               unsigned integer multiplication

-``a /% b``               unsigned integer division

-``a %% b``               unsigned integer modulo operation

-``a <% b``               treat ``a`` and ``b`` as unsigned and compare

-``a <=% b``              treat ``a`` and ``b`` as unsigned and compare

-``ze(a)``                extends the bits of ``a`` with zeros until it has the

-                         width of the ``int`` type

-``toU8(a)``              treats ``a`` as unsigned and converts it to an

-                         unsigned integer of 8 bits (but still the

-                         ``int8`` type)                         

-``toU16(a)``             treats ``a`` as unsigned and converts it to an

-                         unsigned integer of 16 bits (but still the

-                         ``int16`` type)

-``toU32(a)``             treats ``a`` as unsigned and converts it to an

-                         unsigned integer of 32 bits (but still the

-                         ``int32`` type)

-======================   ======================================================

-

-The following floating point types are pre-defined:

-

-``float``

-  the generic floating point type; its size is platform dependant

-  (the compiler chooses the processor's fastest floating point type)

-  this type should be used in general

-

-floatXX

-  an implementation may define additional floating point types of XX bits using

-  this naming scheme (example: float64 is a 64 bit wide float). The current

-  implementation supports ``float32`` and ``float64``. Literals of these types

-  have the suffix 'fXX.

-

-`Automatic type conversion`:idx: in expressions where different kinds

-of integer types are used is performed. However, if the type conversion

-loses information, the `EInvalidValue`:idx: exception is raised. Certain cases 

-of the convert error are detected at compile time.

-

-Automatic type conversion in expressions with different kinds

-of floating point types is performed: The smaller type is

-converted to the larger. Arithmetic performed on floating point types

-follows the IEEE standard. Only the ``int`` type is converted to a floating

-point type automatically, other integer types are not. 

-

-

-Boolean type

-~~~~~~~~~~~~

-The `boolean`:idx: type is named ``bool`` in Nimrod and can be one of the two

-pre-defined values ``true`` and ``false``. Conditions in while,

-if, elif, when statements need to be of type bool.

-

-This condition holds::

-

-  ord(false) == 0 and ord(true) == 1

-

-The operators ``not, and, or, xor, implies, <, <=, >, >=, !=, ==`` are defined

-for the bool type. The ``and`` and ``or`` operators perform short-cut

-evaluation. Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  while p != nil and p.name != "xyz":

-    # p.name is not evaluated if p == nil

-    p = p.next

-

-

-The size of the bool type is one byte.

-

-

-Character type

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-The `character type`:idx: is named ``char`` in Nimrod. Its size is one byte. 

-Thus it cannot represent an UTF-8 character, but a part of it. 

-The reason for this is efficiency: For the overwhelming majority of use-cases,

-the resulting programs will still handle UTF-8 properly as UTF-8 was specially

-designed for this.

-Another reason is that Nimrod can support ``array[char, int]`` or

-``set[char]`` efficiently as many algorithms rely on this feature. The

-`TUniChar` type is used for Unicode characters, it can represent any Unicode

-character. ``TUniChar`` is declared the ``unicode`` standard module. 

-

-

-

-Enumeration types

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-`Enumeration`:idx: types define a new type whose values consist only of the ones

-specified.

-The values are ordered by the order in enum's declaration. Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  type

-    TDirection = enum

-      north, east, south, west

-

-

-Now the following holds::

-

-  ord(north) == 0

-  ord(east) == 1

-  ord(south) == 2

-  ord(west) == 3

-

-Thus, north < east < south < west. The comparison operators can be used

-with enumeration types.

-

-For better interfacing to other programming languages, the fields of enum

-types can be assigned an explicit ordinal value. However, the ordinal values

-have to be in ascending order. A field whose ordinal value that is not

-explicitly given, is assigned the value of the previous field + 1.

-

-An explicit ordered enum can have *wholes*:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  type

-    TTokenType = enum

-      a = 2, b = 4, c = 89 # wholes are valid

-

-However, it is then not an ordinal anymore, so it is not possible to use these

-enums as an index type for arrays. The procedures ``inc``, ``dec``, ``succ``

-and ``pred`` are not available for them either.

-

-

-Subrange types

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-A `subrange`:idx: type is a range of values from an ordinal type (the host 

-type). To define a subrange type, one must specify it's limiting values: the 

-highest and lowest value of the type:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  type

-    TSubrange = range[0..5]

-

-

-``TSubrange`` is a subrange of an integer which can only hold the values 0

-to 5. Assigning any other value to a variable of type ``TSubrange`` is a

-checked runtime error (or static error if it can be statically

-determined). Assignments from the base type to one of its subrange types

-(and vice versa) are allowed.

-

-A subrange type has the same size as its base type (``int`` in the example).

-

-

-String type

-~~~~~~~~~~~

-All string literals are of the type `string`:idx:. A string in Nimrod is very

-similar to a sequence of characters. However, strings in Nimrod both are

-zero-terminated and have a length field. One can retrieve the length with the

-builtin ``len`` procedure; the length never counts the terminating zero.

-The assignment operator for strings always copies the string.

-

-Strings are compared by their lexicographical order. All comparison operators

-are available. Strings can be indexed like arrays (lower bound is 0). Unlike

-arrays, they can be used in case statements:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  case paramStr(i)

-  of "-v": incl(options, optVerbose)

-  of "-h", "-?": incl(options, optHelp)

-  else: write(stdout, "invalid command line option!\n")

-

-Per convention, all strings are UTF-8 strings, but this is not enforced. For

-example, when reading strings from binary files, they are merely a sequence of

-bytes. The index operation ``s[i]`` means the i-th *char* of ``s``, not the

-i-th *unichar*. The iterator ``unichars`` from the ``unicode`` standard

-module can be used for iteration over all unicode characters.

-

-

-Structured types

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-A variable of a `structured type`:idx: can hold multiple values at the same 

-time. Stuctured types can be nested to unlimited levels. Arrays, sequences, 

-records, objects and sets belong to the structured types.

-

-Array and sequence types

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-`Arrays`:idx: are a homogenous type, meaning that each element in the array 

-has the same type. Arrays always have a fixed length which is specified at 

-compile time (except for open arrays). They can be indexed by any ordinal type.

-A parameter ``A`` may be an *open array*, in which case it is indexed by 

-integers from 0 to ``len(A)-1``.

-

-`Sequences`:idx: are similar to arrays but of dynamic length which may change

-during runtime (like strings). A sequence ``S`` is always indexed by integers

-from 0 to ``len(S)-1`` and its bounds are checked. Sequences can also be

-constructed by the array constructor ``[]``.

-

-A sequence may be passed to a parameter that is of type *open array*, but

-not to a multi-dimensional open array, because it is impossible to do so in an

-efficient manner.

-

-An array expression may be constructed by the array constructor ``[]``.

-A constructed array is assignment compatible to a sequence.

-

-Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  type

-    TIntArray = array[0..5, int] # an array that is indexed with 0..5

-    TIntSeq = seq[int] # a sequence of integers

-  var

-    x: TIntArray

-    y: TIntSeq

-  x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] # [] this is the array constructor that is compatible

-                         # with arrays, open arrays and

-  y = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] # sequences

-

-The lower bound of an array may be received by the built-in proc

-``low()``, the higher bound by ``high()``. The length may be

-received by ``len()``.

-

-Arrays are always bounds checked (at compile-time or at runtime). These

-checks can be disabled via pragmas or invoking the compiler with the

-``--bound_checks:off`` command line switch.

-

-

-Tuples, record and object types

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-A variable of a `record`:idx: or `object`:idx: type is a heterogenous storage 

-container.

-A record or object defines various named *fields* of a type. The assignment

-operator for records and objects always copies the whole record/object. The

-constructor ``()`` can be used to initialize records/objects. A field may

-be given a default value. Fields with default values do not have to be listed

-in a record construction, all other fields have to be listed.

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  type

-    TPerson = record   # type representing a person

-      name: string     # a person consists of a name

-      age: int = 30    # and an age which default value is 30

-

-  var

-    person: TPerson

-  person = (name: "Peter") # person.age is its default value (30)

-

-The implementation aligns the fields for best access performance. The alignment

-is done in a way that is compatible the way the C compiler does it.

-

-The difference between records and objects is that objects allow inheritance.

-Objects have access to their type at runtime, so that the ``is`` operator

-can be used to determine the object's type. Assignment from an object to its

-parents' object leads to a static or runtime error (the

-`EInvalidObjectAssignment`:idx: exception is raised).

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  type

-    TPerson = object

-      name: string

-      age: int

-

-    TStudent = object of TPerson # a student is a person

-      id: int                    # with an id field

-

-  var

-    student: TStudent

-    person: TPerson

-  student = (name: "Peter", age: 89, id: 3)

-  person = (name: "Mary", age: 17)

-  assert(student is TStudent) # is true

-  person = student # this is an error; person has no storage for id.

-

-

-Set type

-~~~~~~~~

-The `set type`:idx: models the mathematical notion of a set. The set's

-basetype can only be an ordinal type. The reason is that sets are implemented

-as bit vectors. Sets are designed for high performance computing.

-

-Note: The sets module can be used for sets of other types.

-

-Sets can be constructed via the set constructor: ``{}`` is the empty set. The

-empty set is type combatible with any special set type. The constructor

-can also be used to include elements (and ranges of elements) in the set:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  {'a'..'z', '0'..'9'} # This constructs a set that conains the

-                       # letters from 'a' to 'z' and the digits

-                       # from '0' to '9'

-

-These operations are supported by sets:

-

-==================    ========================================================

-operation             meaning

-==================    ========================================================

-``A + B``             union of two sets

-``A * B``             intersection of two sets

-``A - B``             difference of two sets (A without B's elements)

-``A == B``            set equality

-``A <= B``            subset relation (A is subset of B or equal to B)

-``A < B``             strong subset relation (A is a real subset of B)

-``e in A``            set membership (A contains element e)

-``A -+- B``           symmetric set difference (= (A - B) + (B - A))

-``card(A)``           the cardinality of A (number of elements in A)

-``incl(A, elem)``     same as A = A + {elem}, but may be faster

-``excl(A, elem)``     same as A = A - {elem}, but may be faster

-==================    ========================================================

-

-Reference type

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-References (similiar to `pointers`:idx: in other programming languages) are a 

-way to introduce many-to-one relationships. This means different references can

-point to and modify the same location in memory. References should be used 

-sparingly in a program. They are only needed for constructing graphs.

-

-Nimrod distinguishes between `traced`:idx: and `untraced`:idx: references. 

-Untraced references are also called *pointers*. The difference between them is 

-that traced references are garbage collected, untraced are not. Thus untraced

-references are *unsafe*. However for certain low-level operations (accessing

-the hardware) untraced references are unavoidable.

-

-Traced references are declared with the **ref** keyword, untraced references

-are declared with the **ptr** keyword.

-

-The ``^`` operator can be used to derefer a reference, the ``addr`` procedure

-returns the address of an item. An address is always an untraced reference.

-Thus the usage of ``addr`` is an *unsafe* feature.

-

-The ``.`` (access a record field operator) and ``[]`` (array/string/sequence

-index operator) operators perform implicit dereferencing operations for

-reference types:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  type

-    PNode = ref TNode

-    TNode = record

-      le, ri: PNode

-      data: int

-

-  var

-    n: PNode

-  new(n)

-  n.data = 9 # no need to write n^.data

-

-To allocate a new traced object, the built-in procedure ``new`` has to be used.

-To deal with untraced memory, the procedures ``alloc``, ``dealloc`` and

-``realloc`` can be used. The documentation of the system module contains

-further information.

-

-Special care has to be taken if an untraced object contains traced objects like

-traced references, strings or sequences: In order to free everything properly,

-the built-in procedure ``finalize`` has to be called before freeing the

-untraced memory manually!

-

-.. XXX finalizers for traced objects

-

-Procedural type

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-A `procedural type`:idx: is internally a pointer to procedure. ``nil`` is 

-an allowed value for variables of a procedural type. Nimrod uses procedural 

-types to achieve `functional`:idx: programming techniques. Dynamic dispatch 

-for OOP constructs can also be implemented with procedural types.

-

-Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  type

-    TCallback = proc (x: int) {.cdecl.}

-

-  proc printItem(x: Int) = ...

-

-  proc forEach(c: TCallback) =

-    ...

-

-  forEach(printItem)  # this will NOT work because calling conventions differ

-

-A subtle issue with procedural types is that the calling convention of the

-procedure influences the type compability: Procedural types are only compatible

-if they have the same calling convention.

-

-Nimrod supports these `calling conventions`:idx:, which are all incompatible to

-each other:

-

-`stdcall`:idx:

-    This the stdcall convention as specified by Microsoft. The generated C

-    procedure is declared with the ``__stdcall`` keyword.

-

-`cdecl`:idx:

-    The cdecl convention means that a procedure shall use the same convention

-    as the C compiler. Under windows the generated C procedure is declared with

-    the ``__cdecl`` keyword.

-

-`safecall`:idx:

-    This is the safecall convention as specified by Microsoft. The generated C

-    procedure is declared with the ``__safecall`` keyword. The word *safe*

-    refers to the fact that all hardware registers shall be pushed to the

-    hardware stack.

-

-`inline`:idx:

-    The inline convention means the the caller should not call the procedure,

-    but inline its code directly. Note that Nimrod does not inline, but leaves

-    this to the C compiler. Thus it generates ``__inline`` procedures. This is

-    only a hint for the compiler: It may completely ignore it and

-    it may inline procedures that are not marked as ``inline``.

-

-`fastcall`:idx:

-    Fastcall means different things to different C compilers. One gets whatever

-    the C ``__fastcall`` means.

-

-`nimcall`:idx:

-    Nimcall is the default convention used for Nimrod procedures. It is the

-    same as ``fastcall``, but only for C compilers that support ``fastcall``.

-

-`closure`:idx:

-    indicates that the procedure expects a context, a closure that needs

-    to be passed to the procedure. The implementation is the

-    same as ``cdecl``, but with a hidden pointer parameter (the

-    *closure*). The hidden parameter is always the last one.

-

-`syscall`:idx:

-    The syscall convention is the same as ``__syscall`` in C. It is used for

-    interrupts.

-

-`noconv`:idx:

-    The generated C code will not have any explicit calling convention and thus

-    use the C compiler's default calling convention. This is needed because

-    Nimrod's default calling convention for procedures is ``fastcall`` to

-    improve speed. This is unlikely to be needed by the user.

-

-Most calling conventions exist only for the Windows 32-bit platform.

-

-

-

-Statements

-----------

-Nimrod uses the common statement/expression paradigma: `Statements`:idx: do not

-produce a value in contrast to expressions. Call expressions are statements.

-If the called procedure returns a value, it is not a valid statement

-as statements do not produce values. To evaluate an expression for

-side-effects and throwing its value away, one can use the ``discard``

-statement.

-

-Statements are separated into `simple statements`:idx: and 

-`complex statements`:idx:.

-Simple statements are statements that cannot contain other statements, like

-assignments, calls or the ``return`` statement; complex statements can

-contain other statements. To avoid the `dangling else problem`:idx:, complex

-statements always have to be intended::

-

-  simpleStmt ::= returnStmt

-             | yieldStmt

-             | discardStmt

-             | raiseStmt

-             | breakStmt

-             | continueStmt

-             | pragma

-             | importStmt

-             | fromStmt

-             | includeStmt

-             | exprStmt

-  complexStmt ::= ifStmt | whileStmt | caseStmt | tryStmt | forStmt

-                   | blockStmt | asmStmt

-                   | procDecl | iteratorDecl | macroDecl | templateDecl

-                   | constDecl | typeDecl | whenStmt | varStmt

-

-

-

-Discard statement

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-Syntax::

-

-  discardStmt ::= DISCARD expr

-

-Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  discard proc_call("arg1", "arg2") # discard the return value of `proc_call`

-

-The `discard`:idx: statement evaluates its expression for side-effects and 

-throws the expression's resulting value away. If the expression has no 

-side-effects, this generates a static error. Ignoring the return value of a 

-procedure without using a discard statement is not allowed.

-

-

-Var statement

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-Syntax::

-

-  colonOrEquals ::= COLON typeDesc [EQUALS expr] | EQUALS expr

-  varPart ::= (symbol ["*" | "-"] [pragma] optComma)+ colonOrEquals [COMMENT]

-  varStmt ::= VAR (varPart | indPush varPart (SAD varPart)* DED)

-

-`Var`:idx: statements declare new local and global variables and 

-initialize them. A comma seperated list of variables can be used to specify

-variables of the same type:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  var

-    a: int = 0

-    x, y, z: int

-

-If an initializer is given the type can be omitted: The variable is of the

-same type as the initializing expression. Variables are always initialized

-with a default value if there is no initializing expression. The default

-value depends on the type and is always a zero in binary.

-

-============================    ==============================================

-Type                            default value

-============================    ==============================================

-any integer type                0

-any float                       0.0

-char                            '\0'

-bool                            false

-ref or pointer type             nil

-procedural type                 nil

-sequence                        nil

-string                          nil (**not** "")

-tuple[A, B, ...]                (default(A), default(B), ...)

-                                (analogous for objects and records)

-array[0..., T]                  [default(T), ...]

-range[T]                        default(T); this may be out of the valid range

-T = enum                        cast[T](0); this may be an invalid value

-============================    ==============================================

-

-Const section

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-Syntax::

-

-  colonAndEquals ::= [COLON typeDesc] EQUALS expr

-  constDecl ::= CONST

-           indPush

-                symbol ["*"] [pragma] colonAndEquals

-           (SAD symbol ["*"] [pragma] colonAndEquals)*

-           DED

-

-Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  const

-    MyFilename = "/home/my/file.txt"

-    debugMode: bool = false

-

-The `const`:idx: section declares symbolic constants. A symbolic constant is 

-a name for a constant expression. Symbolic constants only allow read-access.

-

-

-If statement

-~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-Syntax::

-

-  ifStmt ::= IF expr COLON stmt (ELIF expr COLON stmt)* [ELSE COLON stmt]

-

-Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  var name = readLine(stdin)

-

-  if name == "Andreas":

-    echo("What a nice name!")

-  elif name == "":

-    echo("Don't you have a name?")

-  else:

-    echo("Boring name...")

-

-The `if`:idx: statement is a simple way to make a branch in the control flow:

-The expression after the keyword ``if`` is evaluated, if it is true

-the corresponding statements after the ``:`` are executed. Otherwise

-the expression after the ``elif`` is evaluated (if there is an

-``elif`` branch), if it is true the corresponding statements after

-the ``:`` are executed. This goes on until the last ``elif``. If all

-conditions fail, the ``else`` part is executed. If there is no ``else``

-part, execution continues with the statement after the ``if`` statement.

-

-

-Case statement

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-Syntax::

-

-  caseStmt ::= CASE expr (OF sliceList COLON stmt)*

-                         (ELIF expr COLON stmt)*

-                         [ELSE COLON stmt]

-

-Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  case readline(stdin)

-  of "delete-everything", "restart-computer":

-    echo("permission denied")

-  of "go-for-a-walk":     echo("please yourself")

-  else:                   echo("unknown command")

-

-The `case`:idx: statement is similar to the if statement, but it represents

-a multi-branch selection. The expression after the keyword ``case`` is

-evaluated and if its value is in a *vallist* the corresponding statements

-(after the ``of`` keyword) are executed. If the value is no given *vallist*

-the ``else`` part is executed. If there is no ``else`` part and not all

-possible values that ``expr`` can hold occur in a ``vallist``, a static

-error is given. This holds only for expressions of ordinal types.

-If the expression is not of an ordinal type, and no ``else`` part is

-given, control just passes after the ``case`` statement.

-

-To suppress the static error in the ordinal case the programmer needs

-to write an ``else`` part with a ``nil`` statement.

-

-

-When statement

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-Syntax::

-

-  whenStmt ::= WHEN expr COLON stmt (ELIF expr COLON stmt)* [ELSE COLON stmt]

-

-Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  

-  when sizeof(int) == 2:

-    echo("running on a 16 bit system!")

-  elif sizeof(int) == 4:

-    echo("running on a 32 bit system!")

-  elif sizeof(int) == 8:

-    echo("running on a 64 bit system!")

-  else:

-    echo("cannot happen!")

-

-The `when`:idx: statement is almost identical to the ``if`` statement with some

-exceptions:

-

-* Each ``expr`` has to be a constant expression (of type ``bool``).

-* The statements do not open a new scope if they introduce new identifiers.

-* The statements that belong to the expression that evaluated to true are

-  translated by the compiler, the other statements are not checked for

-  syntax or semantics at all! This holds also for any ``expr`` coming

-  after the expression that evaluated to true.

-

-The ``when`` statement enables conditional compilation techniques. As

-a special syntatic extension, the ``when`` construct is also available

-within ``record`` or ``object`` definitions.

-

-

-Raise statement

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-Syntax::

-

-  raiseStmt ::= RAISE [expr]

-  

-Example:

-  

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  raise EOS("operating system failed")

-

-Apart from built-in operations like array indexing, memory allocation, etc.

-the ``raise`` statement is the only way to raise an exception. The

-identifier has to be the name of a previously declared exception. A

-comma followed by an expression may follow; the expression must be of type

-``string`` or ``cstring``; this is an error message that can be extracted

-with the `getCurrentExceptionMsg`:idx: procedure in the module ``system``.

-

-If no exception name is given, the current exception is `re-raised`:idx:. The

-`ENoExceptionToReraise`:idx: exception is raised if there is no exception to

-re-raise. It follows that the ``raise`` statement *always* raises an

-exception.

-

-

-Try statement

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-Syntax::

-

-  exceptList ::= (qualifiedIdent optComma)*

-  tryStmt ::= TRY COLON stmt

-             (EXCEPT exceptList COLON stmt)*

-             [FINALLY COLON stmt]

-

-Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  # read the first two lines of a text file that should contain numbers

-  # and tries to add them

-  var

-    f: TFile

-  if openFile(f, "numbers.txt"):

-    try:

-      var a = readLine(f)

-      var b = readLine(f)

-      echo("sum: " & $(parseInt(a) + parseInt(b)))

-    except EOverflow:

-      echo("overflow!")

-    except EValue:

-      echo("could not convert string to integer")

-    except EIO:

-      echo("IO error!")

-    finally:

-      closeFile(f)

-

-The statements after the `try`:idx: are executed in sequential order unless

-an exception ``e`` is raised. If the exception type of ``e`` matches any

-of the list ``exceptlist`` the corresponding statements are executed.

-The statements following the ``except`` clauses are called

-`exception handlers`:idx:.

-

-The empty `except`:idx: clause is executed if there is an exception that is

-in no list. It is similiar to an ``else`` clause in ``if`` statements.

-

-If there is a `finally`:idx: clause, it is always executed after the

-exception handlers.

-

-The exception is *consumed* in an exception handler. However, an

-exception handler may raise another exception. If the exception is not

-handled, it is propagated through the call stack. This means that often

-the rest of the procedure - that is not within a ``finally`` clause -

-is not executed (if an exception occurs).

-

-

-Return statement

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-Syntax::

-

-  returnStmt ::= RETURN [expr]

-

-Example:

-  

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  return 40+2

-

-The `return`:idx: statement ends the execution of the current procedure. 

-It is only allowed in procedures. If there is an ``expr``, this is syntactic 

-sugar for:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  result = expr

-  return

-

-The `result`:idx: variable is always the return value of the procedure. It is

-automatically declared by the compiler.

-

-

-Yield statement

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-Syntax::

-

-  yieldStmt ::= YIELD expr

-  

-Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  yield (1, 2, 3)

-  

-The `yield`:idx: statement is used instead of the ``return`` statement in 

-iterators. It is only valid in iterators. Execution is returned to the body 

-of the for loop that called the iterator. Yield does not end the iteration 

-process, but execution is passed back to the iterator if the next iteration

-starts. See the section about iterators (`Iterators and the for statement`_) 

-for further information.

-

-

-Block statement

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-Syntax::

-

-  blockStmt ::= BLOCK [symbol] COLON stmt

-  

-Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  var found = false

-  block myblock:  

-    for i in 0..3:

-      for j in 0..3:

-        if a[j][i] == 7:

-          found = true

-          break myblock # leave the block, in this case both for-loops

-  echo(found)

-

-The block statement is a means to group statements to a (named) `block`:idx:.

-Inside the block, the ``break`` statement is allowed to leave the block

-immediately. A ``break`` statement can contain a name of a surrounding

-block to specify which block is to leave.

-

-

-Break statement

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-Syntax::

-

-  breakStmt ::= BREAK [symbol]

-  

-Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod 

-  break

-

-The `break`:idx: statement is used to leave a block immediately. If ``symbol``

-is given, it is the name of the enclosing block that is to leave. If it is

-absent, the innermost block is leaved.

-

-

-While statement

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-Syntax::

-  

-  whileStmt ::= WHILE expr COLON stmt

-  

-Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  echo("Please tell me your password: \n")

-  var pw = readLine(stdin)

-  while pw != "12345":

-    echo("Wrong password! Next try: \n")

-    pw = readLine(stdin)

-

-

-The `while`:idx: statement is executed until the ``expr`` evaluates to false.

-Endless loops are no error. ``while`` statements open an `implicit block`,

-so that they can be leaved with a ``break`` statement.

-

-

-Continue statement

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-Syntax::

-

-  continueStmt ::= CONTINUE

-

-A `continue`:idx: statement leads to the immediate next iteration of the 

-surrounding loop construct. It is only allowed within a loop. A continue 

-statement is syntactic sugar for a nested block:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  while expr1:

-    stmt1

-    continue

-    stmt2

-    

-  # is equivalent to:

-  while expr1:

-    block myBlockName:

-      stmt1

-      break myBlockName

-      stmt2

-

-

-Assembler statement

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-Syntax::

-

-  asmStmt ::= ASM [pragma] (STR_LIT | RSTR_LIT | TRIPLESTR_LIT)

-

-The direct embedding of `assembler`:idx: code into Nimrod code is supported 

-by the unsafe ``asm`` statement. Identifiers in the assembler code that refer to

-Nimrod identifiers shall be enclosed in a special character which can be

-specified in the statement's pragmas. The default special character is ``'`'``.

-

-

-Procedures

-~~~~~~~~~~

-What most programming languages call `methods`:idx: or `funtions`:idx: are 

-called `procedures`:idx: in Nimrod (which is the correct terminology). A 

-procedure declaration defines an identifier and associates it with a block 

-of code. A procedure may call itself recursively. The syntax is::

-

-  paramList ::= [PAR_LE ((symbol optComma)+ COLON typeDesc optComma)* PAR_RI]

-                [COLON typeDesc]

-  genericParams ::= BRACKET_LE (symbol [EQUALS typeDesc] )* BRACKET_RI

-

-  procDecl ::= PROC symbol ["*"] [genericParams] paramList [pragma]

-               [EQUALS stmt]

-

-If the ``EQUALS stms`` part is missing, it is a `forward`:idx: declaration. If 

-the proc returns a value, the procedure body can access an implicit declared

-variable named `result`:idx: that represents the return value. Procs can be

-overloaded. The overloading resolution algorithm tries to find the proc that is

-the best match for the arguments. A parameter may be given a default value that

-is used if the caller does not provide a value for this parameter. Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-

-  proc toLower(c: Char): Char = # toLower for characters

-    if c in {'A'..'Z'}:

-      result = chr(ord(c) + (ord('a') - ord('A')))

-    else:

-      result = c

-  

-  proc toLower(s: string): string = # toLower for strings

-    result = newString(len(s))

-    for i in 0..len(s) - 1:

-      result[i] = toLower(s[i]) # calls toLower for characters; no recursion!

-      

-`Operators`:idx: are procedures with a special operator symbol as identifier:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  proc `$` (x: int): string =     # converts an integer to a string;

-                                  # since it has one parameter this is a prefix

-                                  # operator. With two parameters it would be 

-                                  # an infix operator.

-    return intToStr(x)

-

-Calling a procedure can be done in many different ways:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  proc callme(x, y: int, s: string = "", c: char, b: bool = false) = ...

-  

-  # call with positional arguments# parameter bindings:

-  callme(0, 1, "abc", '\t', true) # (x=0, y=1, s="abc", c='\t', b=true)

-  # call with named and positional arguments:

-  callme(y=1, x=0, "abd", '\t')   # (x=0, y=1, s="abd", c='\t', b=false)

-  # call with named arguments (order is not relevant):

-  callme(c='\t', y=1, x=0)        # (x=0, y=1, s="", c='\t', b=false)

-  # call as a command statement: no () or , needed:

-  callme 0 1 "abc" '\t'

-

-

-Iterators and the for statement

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-Syntax::

-

-  forStmt ::= FOR (symbol optComma)+ IN expr [DOTDOT expr] COLON stmt

-  

-  paramList ::= [PAR_LE ((symbol optComma)+ COLON typeDesc optComma)* PAR_RI]

-                [COLON typeDesc]

-  genericParams ::= BRACKET_LE (symbol [EQUALS typeDesc] )* BRACKET_RI

-  

-  iteratorDecl ::= ITERATOR symbol ["*"] [genericParams] paramList [pragma]

-               [EQUALS stmt]

-

-The `for`:idx: statement is an abstract mechanism to iterate over the elements

-of a container. It relies on an `iterator`:idx: to do so. Like ``while``

-statements, ``for`` statements open an `implicit block`:idx:, so that they

-can be leaved with a ``break`` statement. The ``for`` loop declares 

-iteration variables (``x`` in the example) - their scope reaches until the 

-end of the loop body. The iteration variables' types are inferred by the

-return type of the iterator. 

-

-An iterator is similar to a procedure, except that it is always called in the

-context of a ``for`` loop. Iterators provide a way to specify the iteration over

-an abstract type. A key role in the execution of a ``for`` loop plays the 

-``yield`` statement in the called iterator. Whenever a ``yield`` statement is

-reached the data is bound to the ``for`` loop variables and control continues

-in the body of the ``for`` loop. The iterator's local variables and execution 

-state are automatically saved between calls. Example:

-  

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  # this definition exists in the system module

-  iterator items*(a: string): char {.inline.} =

-    var i = 0

-    while i < len(a):

-      yield a[i]

-      inc(i)

-      

-  for ch in items("hello world"): # `ch` is an iteration variable

-    echo(ch)

-

-The compiler generates code as if the programmer would have written this:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  var i = 0

-  while i < len(a):

-    var ch = a[i]

-    echo(ch)

-    inc(i)

-    

-The current implementation always inlines the iterator code leading to zero

-overhead for the abstraction. But this may increase the code size. Later

-versions of the compiler will only inline iterators which have the calling

-convention ``inline``. 

-

-If the iterator yields a tuple, there have to be as many iteration variables

-as there are components in the tuple. The i'th iteration variable's type is

-the one of the i'th component.

-

-

-Type sections

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-Syntax::

-

-  typeDef ::= typeDesc | recordDef | objectDef | enumDef

-  genericParams ::= BRACKET_LE (symbol [EQUALS typeDesc] )* BRACKET_RI

-

-  typeDecl ::= TYPE

-           indPush

-                symbol ["*"] [genericParams] [EQUALS typeDef]

-           (SAD symbol ["*"] [genericParams] [EQUALS typeDef])*

-           DED

-           

-Example:

-  

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  type # example demonstrates mutually recursive types

-    PNode = ref TNode # a traced pointer to a TNode

-    TNode = record

-      le, ri: PNode   # left and right subtrees

-      sym: ref TSym   # leaves contain a reference to a TSym

-      

-    TSym = record     # a symbol

-      name: string    # the symbol's name

-      line: int       # the line the symbol was declared in

-      code: PNode     # the symbol's abstract syntax tree

-

-A `type`:idx: section begins with the ``type`` keyword. It contains multiple 

-type definitions. A type definition binds a type to a name. Type definitions 

-can be recursive or even mutually recursive. Mutually Recursive types are only

-possible within a single ``type`` section.

-

-

-Generics

-~~~~~~~~

-

-Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  type

-    TBinaryTree[T] = record      # TBinaryTree is a generic type with

-                                 # with generic param ``T``

-      le, ri: ref TBinaryTree[T] # left and right subtrees; may be nil

-      data: T                    # the data stored in a node

-    PBinaryTree[T] = ref TBinaryTree[T] # a shorthand for notational convenience

-    

-  proc newNode[T](data: T): PBinaryTree[T] = # constructor for a node

-    new(result)

-    result.dat = data

-    

-  proc add[T](root: var PBinaryTree[T], n: PBinaryTree[T]) =

-    if root == nil:

-      root = n

-    else:

-      var it = root

-      while it != nil:

-        var c = cmp(it.data, n.data) # compare the data items; uses

-                                     # the generic ``cmd`` proc that works for

-                                     # any type that has a ``==`` and ``<``

-                                     # operator

-        if c < 0:

-          if it.le == nil:

-            it.le = n

-            return

-          it = it.le

-        else:

-          if it.ri == nil:

-            it.ri = n

-            return

-          it = it.ri

-  

-  iterator inorder[T](root: PBinaryTree[T]): T =

-    # inorder traversal of a binary tree

-    # recursive iterators are not yet implemented, so this does not work in

-    # the current compiler!

-    if root.le != nil:

-      yield inorder(root.le)

-    yield root.data

-    if root.ri != nil:

-      yield inorder(root.ri)

-  

-  var

-    root: PBinaryTree[string] # instantiate a PBinaryTree with the type string

-  add(root, newNode("hallo")) # instantiates generic procs ``newNode`` and

-  add(root, newNode("world")) # ``add``

-  for str in inorder(root):

-    writeln(stdout, str)

-

-`Generics`:idx: are Nimrod's means to parametrize procs, iterators or types with

-`type parameters`:idx:. Depending on context, the brackets are used either to

-introduce type parameters or to instantiate a generic proc, iterator or type.

-

-

-Templates

-~~~~~~~~~

-

-A `template`:idx: is a simple form of a macro. It operates on parse trees and is

-processed in the semantic pass of the compiler. So they integrate well with the

-rest of the language and share none of C's preprocessor macros flaws. However,

-they may lead to code that is harder to understand and maintain. So one ought

-to use them sparingly. The usage of ordinary procs, iterators or generics is

-preferred to the usage of templates.

-

-Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  template `!=` (a, b: expr): expr =

-    # this definition exists in the System module

-    not (a == b)

-    

-  writeln(5 != 6) # the compiler rewrites that to: writeln(not (5 == 6))

-

-

-Macros

-~~~~~~

-

-`Macros`:idx: are the most powerful feature of Nimrod. They should be used 

-only to implement `domain specific languages`:idx:. They may lead to code 

-that is harder to understand and maintain. So one ought to use them sparingly. 

-The usage of ordinary procs, iterators or generics is preferred to the usage of

-macros.

-

-

-Modules

--------

-Nimrod supports splitting a program into pieces by a `module`:idx: concept. 

-Modules make separate compilation possible. Each module needs to be in its 

-own file. Modules enable `information hiding`:idx: and 

-`separate compilation`:idx:. A module may gain access to symbols of another 

-module by the `import`:idx: statement. `Recursive module dependancies`:idx: are 

-allowed, but slightly subtle.

-

-The algorithm for compiling modules is:

-

-- Compile the whole module as usual, following import statements recursively

-- if we have a cycle only import the already parsed symbols (that are 

-  exported); if an unknown identifier occurs then abort

-

-This is best illustrated by an example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  # Module A

-  type

-    T1* = int

-  import B # the compiler starts parsing B

-

-  proc main() =

-    var i = p(3) # works because B has been parsed completely here

-

-  main()

-

-

-  # Module B

-  import A  # A is not parsed here! Only the already known symbols

-            # of A are imported here.

-

-  proc p*(x: A.T1): A.T1 # this works because the compiler has already

-                         # added T1 to A's interface symbol table

-

-  proc p(x: A.T1): A.T1 = return x + 1

-

-

-Scope rules

------------

-Identifiers are valid from the point of their declaration until the end of

-the block in which the declaration occurred. The range where the identifier

-is known is the `scope`:idx: of the identifier. The exact scope of an 

-identifier depends on the way it was declared.

-

-Block scope

-~~~~~~~~~~~

-The *scope* of a variable declared in the declaration part of a block

-is valid from the point of declaration until the end of the block. If a

-block contains a second block, in which the identifier is redeclared,

-then inside this block, the second declaration will be valid. Upon

-leaving the inner block, the first declaration is valid again. An

-identifier cannot be redefined in the same block, except if valid for

-procedure or iterator overloading purposes.

-

-

-Record or object scope

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-The field identifiers inside a record or object definition are valid in the

-following places:

-

-* To the end of the record definition

-* Field designators of a variable of the given record type.

-* In all descendent types of the object type.

-

-Module scope

-~~~~~~~~~~~~

-All identifiers in the interface part of a module are valid from the point of

-declaration, until the end of the module. Furthermore, the identifiers are

-known in other modules that import the module. Identifiers from indirectly

-dependent modules are *not* available. The `system`:idx: module is automatically 

-imported in all other modules.

-

-If a module imports an identifier by two different modules,

-each occurance of the identifier has to be qualified, unless it is an

-overloaded procedure or iterator in which case the overloading

-resolution takes place:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  # Module A

-  var x*: string

-

-  # Module B

-  var x*: int

-

-  # Module C

-  import A, B

-  write(stdout, x) # error: x is ambigious

-  write(sdtout, A.x) # no error: qualifier used

-  

-  var x = 4

-  write(stdout, x) # not ambigious: uses the module C's x

-

-

-Messages

-========

-

-The Nimrod compiler emits different kinds of messages: `hint`:idx:,

-`warning`:idx:, and `error`:idx: messages. An *error* message is emitted if 

-the compiler encounters any static error.

-

-Pragmas

-=======

-

-Syntax::

-  

-  pragma ::= CURLYDOT_LE (expr [COLON expr] optComma)+ (CURLYDOT_RI | CURLY_RI)

-

-Pragmas are Nimrod's method to give the compiler additional information/

-commands without introducing a massive number of new keywords. Pragmas are

-processed on the fly during parsing. Pragmas are always enclosed in the

-special ``{.`` and ``.}`` curly brackets.

-

-

-define pragma

--------------

-The `define`:idx: pragma defines a conditional symbol. This symbol may only be

-used in other pragmas and in the ``defined`` expression and not in ordinary

-Nimrod source code. The conditional symbols go into a special symbol table.

-The compiler defines the target processor and the target operating

-system as conditional symbols.

-

-

-undef pragma

-------------

-The `undef`:idx: pragma the counterpart to the define pragma. It undefines a

-conditional symbol.

-

-

-error pragma

-------------

-The `error`:idx: pragma is used to make the compiler output an error message 

-with the given content. Compilation currently aborts after an error, but this 

-may be changed in later versions.

-

-

-fatal pragma

-------------

-The `fatal`:idx: pragma is used to make the compiler output an error message 

-with the given content. In contrast to the ``error`` pragma, compilation

-is guaranteed to be aborted by this pragma. 

-

-warning pragma

---------------

-The `warning`:idx: pragma is used to make the compiler output a warning message 

-with the given content. Compilation continues after the warning. 

-

-hint pragma

------------

-The `hint`:idx: pragma is used to make the compiler output a hint message with

-the given content. Compilation continues after the hint.

-

-

-compilation option pragmas

---------------------------

-The listed pragmas here can be used to override the code generation options

-for a section of code.

-::

-

-  "{." pragma: val {pragma: val} ".}"

-

-

-The implementation currently provides the following possible options (later

-various others may be added).

-

-===============  ===============  ============================================

-pragma           allowed values   description

-===============  ===============  ============================================

-checks           on|off           Turns the code generation for all runtime

-                                  checks on or off.

-bound_checks     on|off           Turns the code generation for array bound

-                                  checks on or off.

-overflow_checks  on|off           Turns the code generation for over- or

-hints            on|off           Turns the hint messages of the compiler

-                                  on or off.

-optimization     none|speed|size  Optimize the code for speed or size, or

-                                  disable optimization. For non-optimizing

-                                  compilers this option has no effect.

-                                  follow.

-===============  ===============  ============================================

-

-Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  {.checks: off, optimization: speed.}

-  # compile without runtime checks and optimize for speed

-

-

-push and pop pragmas

---------------------

-The `push/pop`:idx: pragmas are very similar to the option directive,

-but are used to override the settings temporarily. Example:

-

-.. code-block:: nimrod

-  {.push checks: off.}

-  # compile this section without runtime checks as it is

-  # speed critical

-  # ... some code ...

-  {.pop.} # restore old settings

+  Nimrod contains a sophisticated
+  compile-time evaluator, so procedures declared with the ``{.noSideEffect.}``
+  pragma can be used in constant expressions:
+
+  .. code-block:: nimrod
+
+    from strutils import findSubStr
+    const
+      x = findSubStr('a', "hallo") # x is 1; this is computed at compile time!
+
+
+Types
+-----
+
+All expressions have a `type`:idx: which is known at compile time. Thus Nimrod
+is statically typed. One can declare new types, which is in
+essence defining an identifier that can be used to denote this custom type.
+
+These are the major type classes:
+
+* ordinal types (consist of integer, bool, character, enumeration
+  (and subranges thereof) types)
+* floating point types
+* string type
+* structured types
+* reference (pointer) type
+* procedural type
+* generic type
+
+
+Ordinal types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+`Ordinal types`:idx: have the following characteristics:
+
+- Ordinal types are countable and ordered. This property allows
+  the operation of functions as ``Inc``, ``Ord``, ``Dec`` on ordinal types to
+  be defined.
+- Ordinal values have a smallest possible value. Trying to count farther
+  down than the smallest value gives a checked runtime or static error.
+- Ordinal values have a largest possible value. Trying to count farther
+  than the largest value gives a checked runtime or static error.
+
+Integers, bool, characters and enumeration types (and subrange of these
+types) belong to ordinal types.
+
+
+Pre-defined numerical types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+These integer types are pre-defined:
+
+``int``
+  the generic signed integer type; its size is platform dependant
+  (the compiler chooses the processor's fastest integer type)
+  this type should be used in general. An integer literal that has no type
+  suffix is of this type.
+
+intXX
+  additional signed integer types of XX bits use this naming scheme
+  (example: int16 is a 16 bit wide integer).
+  The current implementation supports ``int8``, ``int16``, ``int32``, ``int64``.
+  Literals of these types have the suffix 'iXX.
+
+
+There are no `unsigned integer`:idx: types, only `unsigned operations`:idx:
+that treat their arguments as unsigned. Unsigned operations all wrap around;
+they may not lead to over- or underflow errors. Unsigned operations use the
+``%`` postfix as convention:
+
+======================   ======================================================

+                         ``int32`` type)
+======================   ======================================================
+
+The following floating point types are pre-defined:
+
+``float``
+  the generic floating point type; its size is platform dependant
+  (the compiler chooses the processor's fastest floating point type)
+  this type should be used in general
+
+floatXX
+  an implementation may define additional floating point types of XX bits using
+  this naming scheme (example: float64 is a 64 bit wide float). The current
+  implementation supports ``float32`` and ``float64``. Literals of these types
+  have the suffix 'fXX.
+
+`Automatic type conversion`:idx: in expressions where different kinds
+of integer types are used is performed. However, if the type conversion
+loses information, the `EInvalidValue`:idx: exception is raised. Certain cases
+of the convert error are detected at compile time.
+
+Automatic type conversion in expressions with different kinds
+of floating point types is performed: The smaller type is
+converted to the larger. Arithmetic performed on floating point types
+follows the IEEE standard. Only the ``int`` type is converted to a floating
+point type automatically, other integer types are not.
+
+
+Boolean type
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The `boolean`:idx: type is named ``bool`` in Nimrod and can be one of the two
+pre-defined values ``true`` and ``false``. Conditions in while,
+if, elif, when statements need to be of type bool.
+
+This condition holds::
+
+  ord(false) == 0 and ord(true) == 1
+
+The operators ``not, and, or, xor, implies, <, <=, >, >=, !=, ==`` are defined
+for the bool type. The ``and`` and ``or`` operators perform short-cut
+evaluation. Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  while p != nil and p.name != "xyz":
+    # p.name is not evaluated if p == nil
+    p = p.next
+
+
+The size of the bool type is one byte.
+
+
+Character type
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The `character type`:idx: is named ``char`` in Nimrod. Its size is one byte.
+Thus it cannot represent an UTF-8 character, but a part of it.
+The reason for this is efficiency: For the overwhelming majority of use-cases,
+the resulting programs will still handle UTF-8 properly as UTF-8 was specially
+designed for this.
+Another reason is that Nimrod can support ``array[char, int]`` or
+``set[char]`` efficiently as many algorithms rely on this feature. The
+`TUniChar` type is used for Unicode characters, it can represent any Unicode
+character. ``TUniChar`` is declared the ``unicode`` standard module.
+
+
+
+Enumeration types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+`Enumeration`:idx: types define a new type whose values consist only of the ones
+specified.
+The values are ordered by the order in enum's declaration. Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  type
+    TDirection = enum
+      north, east, south, west
+
+
+Now the following holds::
+
+  ord(north) == 0
+  ord(east) == 1
+  ord(south) == 2
+  ord(west) == 3
+
+Thus, north < east < south < west. The comparison operators can be used
+with enumeration types.
+
+For better interfacing to other programming languages, the fields of enum
+types can be assigned an explicit ordinal value. However, the ordinal values
+have to be in ascending order. A field whose ordinal value that is not
+explicitly given, is assigned the value of the previous field + 1.
+
+An explicit ordered enum can have *wholes*:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  type
+    TTokenType = enum
+      a = 2, b = 4, c = 89 # wholes are valid
+
+However, it is then not an ordinal anymore, so it is not possible to use these
+enums as an index type for arrays. The procedures ``inc``, ``dec``, ``succ``
+and ``pred`` are not available for them either.
+
+
+Subrange types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A `subrange`:idx: type is a range of values from an ordinal type (the host
+type). To define a subrange type, one must specify it's limiting values: the
+highest and lowest value of the type:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  type
+    TSubrange = range[0..5]
+
+
+``TSubrange`` is a subrange of an integer which can only hold the values 0
+to 5. Assigning any other value to a variable of type ``TSubrange`` is a
+checked runtime error (or static error if it can be statically
+determined). Assignments from the base type to one of its subrange types
+(and vice versa) are allowed.
+
+A subrange type has the same size as its base type (``int`` in the example).
+
+
+String type
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+All string literals are of the type `string`:idx:. A string in Nimrod is very
+similar to a sequence of characters. However, strings in Nimrod both are
+zero-terminated and have a length field. One can retrieve the length with the
+builtin ``len`` procedure; the length never counts the terminating zero.
+The assignment operator for strings always copies the string.
+
+Strings are compared by their lexicographical order. All comparison operators
+are available. Strings can be indexed like arrays (lower bound is 0). Unlike
+arrays, they can be used in case statements:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  case paramStr(i)
+  of "-v": incl(options, optVerbose)
+  of "-h", "-?": incl(options, optHelp)
+  else: write(stdout, "invalid command line option!\n")
+
+Per convention, all strings are UTF-8 strings, but this is not enforced. For
+example, when reading strings from binary files, they are merely a sequence of
+bytes. The index operation ``s[i]`` means the i-th *char* of ``s``, not the
+i-th *unichar*. The iterator ``unichars`` from the ``unicode`` standard
+module can be used for iteration over all unicode characters.
+
+
+Structured types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A variable of a `structured type`:idx: can hold multiple values at the same
+time. Stuctured types can be nested to unlimited levels. Arrays, sequences,
+tuples, objects and sets belong to the structured types.
+
+Array and sequence types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+`Arrays`:idx: are a homogenous type, meaning that each element in the array
+has the same type. Arrays always have a fixed length which is specified at
+compile time (except for open arrays). They can be indexed by any ordinal type.
+A parameter ``A`` may be an *open array*, in which case it is indexed by
+integers from 0 to ``len(A)-1``.
+
+`Sequences`:idx: are similar to arrays but of dynamic length which may change
+during runtime (like strings). A sequence ``S`` is always indexed by integers
+from 0 to ``len(S)-1`` and its bounds are checked. Sequences can also be
+constructed by the array constructor ``[]``.
+
+A sequence may be passed to a parameter that is of type *open array*, but
+not to a multi-dimensional open array, because it is impossible to do so in an
+efficient manner.
+
+An array expression may be constructed by the array constructor ``[]``.
+A constructed array is assignment compatible to a sequence.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  type
+    TIntArray = array[0..5, int] # an array that is indexed with 0..5
+    TIntSeq = seq[int] # a sequence of integers
+  var
+    x: TIntArray
+    y: TIntSeq
+  x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] # [] this is the array constructor that is compatible
+                         # with arrays, open arrays and
+  y = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] # sequences
+
+The lower bound of an array may be received by the built-in proc
+``low()``, the higher bound by ``high()``. The length may be
+received by ``len()``.
+
+Arrays are always bounds checked (at compile-time or at runtime). These
+checks can be disabled via pragmas or invoking the compiler with the
+``--bound_checks:off`` command line switch.
+
+
+Tuples and object types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A variable of a `tuple`:idx: or `object`:idx: type is a heterogenous storage
+container.
+A tuple or object defines various named *fields* of a type. A tuple defines an
+*order* of the fields additionally. Tuples are meant for heterogenous storage
+types with no overhead and few abstraction possibilities. The constructor ``()`` 
+can be used to construct tuples. The order of the fields in the constructor 
+must match the order of the tuple's definition. Different tuple-types are 
+*equivalent* if they specify the same fields of the same type in the same 
+order. 
+
+The assignment operator for tuples copies each component. 
+The default assignment operator for objects is not defined. The programmer may 
+provide one, however. 
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  type
+    TPerson = tuple[name: string, age: int] # type representing a person
+                                            # a person consists of a name
+                                            # and an age
+  var
+    person: TPerson
+  person = (name: "Peter", age: 30) 
+  # the same, but less readable:
+  person = ("Peter", 30)
+
+The implementation aligns the fields for best access performance. The alignment
+is done in a way that is compatible the way the C compiler does it.
+
+Objects provide many features that tuples do not. Object provide inheritance
+and information hiding. Objects have access to their type at runtime, so that 
+the ``is`` operator can be used to determine the object's type. 
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  type
+    TPerson = object
+      name*: string   # the * means that `name` is accessible from the outside
+      age: int        # no * means that the field is hidden
+
+    TStudent = object of TPerson # a student is a person
+      id: int                    # with an id field
+
+  var
+    student: TStudent
+    person: TPerson
+  assert(student is TStudent) # is true
+
+Object fields that should be visible outside from the defining module, have to
+marked by ``*``. In contrast to tuples, different object types are 
+never *equivalent*.
+
+
+Set type
+~~~~~~~~
+The `set type`:idx: models the mathematical notion of a set. The set's
+basetype can only be an ordinal type. The reason is that sets are implemented
+as bit vectors. Sets are designed for high performance computing.
+
+Note: The sets module can be used for sets of other types.
+
+Sets can be constructed via the set constructor: ``{}`` is the empty set. The
+empty set is type combatible with any special set type. The constructor
+can also be used to include elements (and ranges of elements) in the set:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  {'a'..'z', '0'..'9'} # This constructs a set that conains the
+                       # letters from 'a' to 'z' and the digits
+                       # from '0' to '9'
+
+These operations are supported by sets:
+
+==================    ========================================================
+operation             meaning
+==================    ========================================================
+``A + B``             union of two sets
+``A * B``             intersection of two sets
+``A - B``             difference of two sets (A without B's elements)
+``A == B``            set equality
+``A <= B``            subset relation (A is subset of B or equal to B)
+``A < B``             strong subset relation (A is a real subset of B)
+``e in A``            set membership (A contains element e)
+``A -+- B``           symmetric set difference (= (A - B) + (B - A))
+``card(A)``           the cardinality of A (number of elements in A)
+``incl(A, elem)``     same as A = A + {elem}, but may be faster
+``excl(A, elem)``     same as A = A - {elem}, but may be faster
+==================    ========================================================
+
+Reference type
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+References (similiar to `pointers`:idx: in other programming languages) are a
+way to introduce many-to-one relationships. This means different references can
+point to and modify the same location in memory. References should be used
+sparingly in a program. They are only needed for constructing graphs.
+
+Nimrod distinguishes between `traced`:idx: and `untraced`:idx: references.
+Untraced references are also called *pointers*. The difference between them is
+that traced references are garbage collected, untraced are not. Thus untraced
+references are *unsafe*. However for certain low-level operations (accessing
+the hardware) untraced references are unavoidable.
+
+Traced references are declared with the **ref** keyword, untraced references
+are declared with the **ptr** keyword.
+
+The ``^`` operator can be used to derefer a reference, the ``addr`` procedure
+returns the address of an item. An address is always an untraced reference.
+Thus the usage of ``addr`` is an *unsafe* feature.
+
+The ``.`` (access a tuple/object field operator) 
+and ``[]`` (array/string/sequence index operator) operators perform implicit
+dereferencing operations for reference types:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  type
+    PNode = ref TNode
+    TNode = object
+      le, ri: PNode
+      data: int
+
+  var
+    n: PNode
+  new(n)
+  n.data = 9 # no need to write n^.data
+
+To allocate a new traced object, the built-in procedure ``new`` has to be used.
+To deal with untraced memory, the procedures ``alloc``, ``dealloc`` and
+``realloc`` can be used. The documentation of the system module contains
+further information.
+
+Special care has to be taken if an untraced object contains traced objects like
+traced references, strings or sequences: In order to free everything properly,
+the built-in procedure ``finalize`` has to be called before freeing the
+untraced memory manually!
+
+.. XXX finalizers for traced objects
+
+Procedural type
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A `procedural type`:idx: is internally a pointer to procedure. ``nil`` is
+an allowed value for variables of a procedural type. Nimrod uses procedural
+types to achieve `functional`:idx: programming techniques. Dynamic dispatch
+for OOP constructs can also be implemented with procedural types.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  type
+    TCallback = proc (x: int) {.cdecl.}
+
+  proc printItem(x: Int) = ...
+
+  proc forEach(c: TCallback) =
+    ...
+
+  forEach(printItem)  # this will NOT work because calling conventions differ
+
+A subtle issue with procedural types is that the calling convention of the
+procedure influences the type compability: Procedural types are only compatible
+if they have the same calling convention.
+
+Nimrod supports these `calling conventions`:idx:, which are all incompatible to
+each other:
+
+`stdcall`:idx:
+    This the stdcall convention as specified by Microsoft. The generated C
+    procedure is declared with the ``__stdcall`` keyword.
+
+`cdecl`:idx:
+    The cdecl convention means that a procedure shall use the same convention
+    as the C compiler. Under windows the generated C procedure is declared with
+    the ``__cdecl`` keyword.
+
+`safecall`:idx:
+    This is the safecall convention as specified by Microsoft. The generated C
+    procedure is declared with the ``__safecall`` keyword. The word *safe*
+    refers to the fact that all hardware registers shall be pushed to the
+    hardware stack.
+
+`inline`:idx:
+    The inline convention means the the caller should not call the procedure,
+    but inline its code directly. Note that Nimrod does not inline, but leaves
+    this to the C compiler. Thus it generates ``__inline`` procedures. This is
+    only a hint for the compiler: It may completely ignore it and
+    it may inline procedures that are not marked as ``inline``.
+
+`fastcall`:idx:
+    Fastcall means different things to different C compilers. One gets whatever
+    the C ``__fastcall`` means.
+
+`nimcall`:idx:
+    Nimcall is the default convention used for Nimrod procedures. It is the
+    same as ``fastcall``, but only for C compilers that support ``fastcall``.
+
+`closure`:idx:
+    indicates that the procedure expects a context, a closure that needs
+    to be passed to the procedure. The implementation is the
+    same as ``cdecl``, but with a hidden pointer parameter (the
+    *closure*). The hidden parameter is always the last one.
+
+`syscall`:idx:
+    The syscall convention is the same as ``__syscall`` in C. It is used for
+    interrupts.
+
+`noconv`:idx:
+    The generated C code will not have any explicit calling convention and thus
+    use the C compiler's default calling convention. This is needed because
+    Nimrod's default calling convention for procedures is ``fastcall`` to
+    improve speed. This is unlikely to be needed by the user.
+
+Most calling conventions exist only for the Windows 32-bit platform.
+
+
+
+Statements
+----------
+Nimrod uses the common statement/expression paradigma: `Statements`:idx: do not
+produce a value in contrast to expressions. Call expressions are statements.
+If the called procedure returns a value, it is not a valid statement
+as statements do not produce values. To evaluate an expression for
+side-effects and throwing its value away, one can use the ``discard``
+statement.
+
+Statements are separated into `simple statements`:idx: and
+`complex statements`:idx:.
+Simple statements are statements that cannot contain other statements, like
+assignments, calls or the ``return`` statement; complex statements can
+contain other statements. To avoid the `dangling else problem`:idx:, complex
+statements always have to be intended::
+
+  simpleStmt ::= returnStmt
+             | yieldStmt
+             | discardStmt
+             | raiseStmt
+             | breakStmt
+             | continueStmt
+             | pragma
+             | importStmt
+             | fromStmt
+             | includeStmt
+             | exprStmt
+  complexStmt ::= ifStmt | whileStmt | caseStmt | tryStmt | forStmt
+                   | blockStmt | asmStmt
+                   | procDecl | iteratorDecl | macroDecl | templateDecl
+                   | constDecl | typeDecl | whenStmt | varStmt
+
+
+
+Discard statement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Syntax::
+
+  discardStmt ::= DISCARD expr
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  discard proc_call("arg1", "arg2") # discard the return value of `proc_call`
+
+The `discard`:idx: statement evaluates its expression for side-effects and
+throws the expression's resulting value away. If the expression has no
+side-effects, this generates a static error. Ignoring the return value of a
+procedure without using a discard statement is not allowed.
+
+
+Var statement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Syntax::
+
+  colonOrEquals ::= COLON typeDesc [EQUALS expr] | EQUALS expr
+  varPart ::= (symbol ["*" | "-"] [pragma] optComma)+ colonOrEquals [COMMENT]
+  varStmt ::= VAR (varPart | indPush varPart (SAD varPart)* DED)
+
+`Var`:idx: statements declare new local and global variables and
+initialize them. A comma seperated list of variables can be used to specify
+variables of the same type:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  var
+    a: int = 0
+    x, y, z: int
+
+If an initializer is given the type can be omitted: The variable is of the
+same type as the initializing expression. Variables are always initialized
+with a default value if there is no initializing expression. The default
+value depends on the type and is always a zero in binary.

+Const section
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Syntax::
+
+  colonAndEquals ::= [COLON typeDesc] EQUALS expr
+  constDecl ::= CONST
+           indPush
+                symbol ["*"] [pragma] colonAndEquals
+           (SAD symbol ["*"] [pragma] colonAndEquals)*
+           DED
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  const
+    MyFilename = "/home/my/file.txt"
+    debugMode: bool = false
+
+The `const`:idx: section declares symbolic constants. A symbolic constant is
+a name for a constant expression. Symbolic constants only allow read-access.
+
+
+If statement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Syntax::
+
+  ifStmt ::= IF expr COLON stmt (ELIF expr COLON stmt)* [ELSE COLON stmt]
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  var name = readLine(stdin)
+
+  if name == "Andreas":
+    echo("What a nice name!")
+  elif name == "":
+    echo("Don't you have a name?")
+  else:
+    echo("Boring name...")
+
+The `if`:idx: statement is a simple way to make a branch in the control flow:
+The expression after the keyword ``if`` is evaluated, if it is true
+the corresponding statements after the ``:`` are executed. Otherwise
+the expression after the ``elif`` is evaluated (if there is an
+``elif`` branch), if it is true the corresponding statements after
+the ``:`` are executed. This goes on until the last ``elif``. If all
+conditions fail, the ``else`` part is executed. If there is no ``else``
+part, execution continues with the statement after the ``if`` statement.
+
+
+Case statement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Syntax::
+
+  caseStmt ::= CASE expr (OF sliceList COLON stmt)*
+                         (ELIF expr COLON stmt)*
+                         [ELSE COLON stmt]
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  case readline(stdin)
+  of "delete-everything", "restart-computer":
+    echo("permission denied")
+  of "go-for-a-walk":     echo("please yourself")
+  else:                   echo("unknown command")
+
+The `case`:idx: statement is similar to the if statement, but it represents
+a multi-branch selection. The expression after the keyword ``case`` is
+evaluated and if its value is in a *vallist* the corresponding statements
+(after the ``of`` keyword) are executed. If the value is no given *vallist*
+the ``else`` part is executed. If there is no ``else`` part and not all
+possible values that ``expr`` can hold occur in a ``vallist``, a static
+error is given. This holds only for expressions of ordinal types.
+If the expression is not of an ordinal type, and no ``else`` part is
+given, control just passes after the ``case`` statement.
+
+To suppress the static error in the ordinal case the programmer needs
+to write an ``else`` part with a ``nil`` statement.
+
+
+When statement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Syntax::
+
+  whenStmt ::= WHEN expr COLON stmt (ELIF expr COLON stmt)* [ELSE COLON stmt]
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  when sizeof(int) == 2:
+    echo("running on a 16 bit system!")
+  elif sizeof(int) == 4:
+    echo("running on a 32 bit system!")
+  elif sizeof(int) == 8:
+    echo("running on a 64 bit system!")
+  else:
+    echo("cannot happen!")
+
+The `when`:idx: statement is almost identical to the ``if`` statement with some
+exceptions:
+
+* Each ``expr`` has to be a constant expression (of type ``bool``).
+* The statements do not open a new scope if they introduce new identifiers.
+* The statements that belong to the expression that evaluated to true are
+  translated by the compiler, the other statements are not checked for
+  syntax or semantics at all! This holds also for any ``expr`` coming
+  after the expression that evaluated to true.
+
+The ``when`` statement enables conditional compilation techniques. As
+a special syntatic extension, the ``when`` construct is also available
+within ``object`` definitions.
+
+
+Raise statement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Syntax::
+
+  raiseStmt ::= RAISE [expr]
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  raise EOS("operating system failed")
+
+Apart from built-in operations like array indexing, memory allocation, etc.
+the ``raise`` statement is the only way to raise an exception. The
+identifier has to be the name of a previously declared exception. A
+comma followed by an expression may follow; the expression must be of type
+``string`` or ``cstring``; this is an error message that can be extracted
+with the `getCurrentExceptionMsg`:idx: procedure in the module ``system``.
+
+If no exception name is given, the current exception is `re-raised`:idx:. The
+`ENoExceptionToReraise`:idx: exception is raised if there is no exception to
+re-raise. It follows that the ``raise`` statement *always* raises an
+exception.
+
+
+Try statement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Syntax::
+
+  exceptList ::= (qualifiedIdent optComma)*
+  tryStmt ::= TRY COLON stmt
+             (EXCEPT exceptList COLON stmt)*
+             [FINALLY COLON stmt]
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  # read the first two lines of a text file that should contain numbers
+  # and tries to add them
+  var
+    f: TFile
+  if openFile(f, "numbers.txt"):
+    try:
+      var a = readLine(f)
+      var b = readLine(f)
+      echo("sum: " & $(parseInt(a) + parseInt(b)))
+    except EOverflow:
+      echo("overflow!")
+    except EInvalidValue:
+      echo("could not convert string to integer")
+    except EIO:
+      echo("IO error!")
+    finally:
+      closeFile(f)
+
+The statements after the `try`:idx: are executed in sequential order unless
+an exception ``e`` is raised. If the exception type of ``e`` matches any
+of the list ``exceptlist`` the corresponding statements are executed.
+The statements following the ``except`` clauses are called
+`exception handlers`:idx:.
+
+The empty `except`:idx: clause is executed if there is an exception that is
+in no list. It is similiar to an ``else`` clause in ``if`` statements.
+
+If there is a `finally`:idx: clause, it is always executed after the
+exception handlers.
+
+The exception is *consumed* in an exception handler. However, an
+exception handler may raise another exception. If the exception is not
+handled, it is propagated through the call stack. This means that often
+the rest of the procedure - that is not within a ``finally`` clause -
+is not executed (if an exception occurs).
+
+
+Return statement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Syntax::
+
+  returnStmt ::= RETURN [expr]
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  return 40+2
+
+The `return`:idx: statement ends the execution of the current procedure.
+It is only allowed in procedures. If there is an ``expr``, this is syntactic
+sugar for:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  result = expr
+  return
+
+The `result`:idx: variable is always the return value of the procedure. It is
+automatically declared by the compiler.
+
+
+Yield statement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Syntax::
+
+  yieldStmt ::= YIELD expr
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  yield (1, 2, 3)
+
+The `yield`:idx: statement is used instead of the ``return`` statement in
+iterators. It is only valid in iterators. Execution is returned to the body
+of the for loop that called the iterator. Yield does not end the iteration
+process, but execution is passed back to the iterator if the next iteration
+starts. See the section about iterators (`Iterators and the for statement`_)
+for further information.
+
+
+Block statement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Syntax::
+
+  blockStmt ::= BLOCK [symbol] COLON stmt
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  var found = false
+  block myblock:
+    for i in 0..3:
+      for j in 0..3:
+        if a[j][i] == 7:
+          found = true
+          break myblock # leave the block, in this case both for-loops
+  echo(found)
+
+The block statement is a means to group statements to a (named) `block`:idx:.
+Inside the block, the ``break`` statement is allowed to leave the block
+immediately. A ``break`` statement can contain a name of a surrounding
+block to specify which block is to leave.
+
+
+Break statement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Syntax::
+
+  breakStmt ::= BREAK [symbol]
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  break
+
+The `break`:idx: statement is used to leave a block immediately. If ``symbol``
+is given, it is the name of the enclosing block that is to leave. If it is
+absent, the innermost block is leaved.
+
+
+While statement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Syntax::
+
+  whileStmt ::= WHILE expr COLON stmt
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  echo("Please tell me your password: \n")
+  var pw = readLine(stdin)
+  while pw != "12345":
+    echo("Wrong password! Next try: \n")
+    pw = readLine(stdin)
+
+
+The `while`:idx: statement is executed until the ``expr`` evaluates to false.
+Endless loops are no error. ``while`` statements open an `implicit block`,
+so that they can be leaved with a ``break`` statement.
+
+
+Continue statement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Syntax::
+
+  continueStmt ::= CONTINUE
+
+A `continue`:idx: statement leads to the immediate next iteration of the
+surrounding loop construct. It is only allowed within a loop. A continue
+statement is syntactic sugar for a nested block:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  while expr1:
+    stmt1
+    continue
+    stmt2
+
+  # is equivalent to:
+  while expr1:
+    block myBlockName:
+      stmt1
+      break myBlockName
+      stmt2
+
+
+Assembler statement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Syntax::
+
+  asmStmt ::= ASM [pragma] (STR_LIT | RSTR_LIT | TRIPLESTR_LIT)
+
+The direct embedding of `assembler`:idx: code into Nimrod code is supported
+by the unsafe ``asm`` statement. Identifiers in the assembler code that refer to
+Nimrod identifiers shall be enclosed in a special character which can be
+specified in the statement's pragmas. The default special character is ``'`'``.
+
+
+Procedures
+~~~~~~~~~~
+What most programming languages call `methods`:idx: or `funtions`:idx: are
+called `procedures`:idx: in Nimrod (which is the correct terminology). A
+procedure declaration defines an identifier and associates it with a block
+of code. A procedure may call itself recursively. The syntax is::
+
+  paramList ::= [PAR_LE ((symbol optComma)+ COLON typeDesc optComma)* PAR_RI]
+                [COLON typeDesc]
+  genericParams ::= BRACKET_LE (symbol [EQUALS typeDesc] )* BRACKET_RI
+
+  procDecl ::= PROC symbol ["*"] [genericParams] paramList [pragma]
+               [EQUALS stmt]
+
+If the ``EQUALS stms`` part is missing, it is a `forward`:idx: declaration. If
+the proc returns a value, the procedure body can access an implicit declared
+variable named `result`:idx: that represents the return value. Procs can be
+overloaded. The overloading resolution algorithm tries to find the proc that is
+the best match for the arguments. A parameter may be given a default value that
+is used if the caller does not provide a value for this parameter. Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+
+  proc toLower(c: Char): Char = # toLower for characters
+    if c in {'A'..'Z'}:
+      result = chr(ord(c) + (ord('a') - ord('A')))
+    else:
+      result = c
+
+  proc toLower(s: string): string = # toLower for strings
+    result = newString(len(s))
+    for i in 0..len(s) - 1:
+      result[i] = toLower(s[i]) # calls toLower for characters; no recursion!
+
+`Operators`:idx: are procedures with a special operator symbol as identifier:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  proc `$` (x: int): string =     # converts an integer to a string;
+                                  # since it has one parameter this is a prefix
+                                  # operator. With two parameters it would be
+                                  # an infix operator.
+    return intToStr(x)
+
+Calling a procedure can be done in many different ways:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  proc callme(x, y: int, s: string = "", c: char, b: bool = false) = ...
+
+  # call with positional arguments# parameter bindings:
+  callme(0, 1, "abc", '\t', true) # (x=0, y=1, s="abc", c='\t', b=true)
+  # call with named and positional arguments:
+  callme(y=1, x=0, "abd", '\t')   # (x=0, y=1, s="abd", c='\t', b=false)
+  # call with named arguments (order is not relevant):
+  callme(c='\t', y=1, x=0)        # (x=0, y=1, s="", c='\t', b=false)
+  # call as a command statement: no () or , needed:
+  callme 0 1 "abc" '\t'
+
+
+Iterators and the for statement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Syntax::
+
+  forStmt ::= FOR (symbol optComma)+ IN expr [DOTDOT expr] COLON stmt
+
+  paramList ::= [PAR_LE ((symbol optComma)+ COLON typeDesc optComma)* PAR_RI]
+                [COLON typeDesc]
+  genericParams ::= BRACKET_LE (symbol [EQUALS typeDesc] )* BRACKET_RI
+
+  iteratorDecl ::= ITERATOR symbol ["*"] [genericParams] paramList [pragma]
+               [EQUALS stmt]
+
+The `for`:idx: statement is an abstract mechanism to iterate over the elements
+of a container. It relies on an `iterator`:idx: to do so. Like ``while``
+statements, ``for`` statements open an `implicit block`:idx:, so that they
+can be leaved with a ``break`` statement. The ``for`` loop declares
+iteration variables (``x`` in the example) - their scope reaches until the
+end of the loop body. The iteration variables' types are inferred by the
+return type of the iterator.
+
+An iterator is similar to a procedure, except that it is always called in the
+context of a ``for`` loop. Iterators provide a way to specify the iteration over
+an abstract type. A key role in the execution of a ``for`` loop plays the
+``yield`` statement in the called iterator. Whenever a ``yield`` statement is
+reached the data is bound to the ``for`` loop variables and control continues
+in the body of the ``for`` loop. The iterator's local variables and execution
+state are automatically saved between calls. Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  # this definition exists in the system module
+  iterator items*(a: string): char {.inline.} =
+    var i = 0
+    while i < len(a):
+      yield a[i]
+      inc(i)
+
+  for ch in items("hello world"): # `ch` is an iteration variable
+    echo(ch)
+
+The compiler generates code as if the programmer would have written this:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  var i = 0
+  while i < len(a):
+    var ch = a[i]
+    echo(ch)
+    inc(i)
+
+The current implementation always inlines the iterator code leading to zero
+overhead for the abstraction. But this may increase the code size. Later
+versions of the compiler will only inline iterators which have the calling
+convention ``inline``.
+
+If the iterator yields a tuple, there have to be as many iteration variables
+as there are components in the tuple. The i'th iteration variable's type is
+the one of the i'th component.
+
+
+Type sections
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Syntax::
+
+  typeDef ::= typeDesc | objectDef | enumDef
+  genericParams ::= BRACKET_LE (symbol [EQUALS typeDesc] )* BRACKET_RI
+
+  typeDecl ::= TYPE
+           indPush
+                symbol ["*"] [genericParams] [EQUALS typeDef]
+           (SAD symbol ["*"] [genericParams] [EQUALS typeDef])*
+           DED
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  type # example demonstrates mutually recursive types
+    PNode = ref TNode # a traced pointer to a TNode
+    TNode = object
+      le, ri: PNode   # left and right subtrees
+      sym: ref TSym   # leaves contain a reference to a TSym
+
+    TSym = object     # a symbol
+      name: string    # the symbol's name
+      line: int       # the line the symbol was declared in
+      code: PNode     # the symbol's abstract syntax tree
+
+A `type`:idx: section begins with the ``type`` keyword. It contains multiple
+type definitions. A type definition binds a type to a name. Type definitions
+can be recursive or even mutually recursive. Mutually Recursive types are only
+possible within a single ``type`` section.
+
+
+Generics
+~~~~~~~~
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  type
+    TBinaryTree[T] = object      # TBinaryTree is a generic type with
+                                 # with generic param ``T``
+      le, ri: ref TBinaryTree[T] # left and right subtrees; may be nil
+      data: T                    # the data stored in a node
+    PBinaryTree[T] = ref TBinaryTree[T] # a shorthand for notational convenience
+
+  proc newNode[T](data: T): PBinaryTree[T] = # constructor for a node
+    new(result)
+    result.dat = data
+
+  proc add[T](root: var PBinaryTree[T], n: PBinaryTree[T]) =
+    if root == nil:
+      root = n
+    else:
+      var it = root
+      while it != nil:
+        var c = cmp(it.data, n.data) # compare the data items; uses
+                                     # the generic ``cmd`` proc that works for
+                                     # any type that has a ``==`` and ``<``
+                                     # operator
+        if c < 0:
+          if it.le == nil:
+            it.le = n
+            return
+          it = it.le
+        else:
+          if it.ri == nil:
+            it.ri = n
+            return
+          it = it.ri
+
+  iterator inorder[T](root: PBinaryTree[T]): T =
+    # inorder traversal of a binary tree
+    # recursive iterators are not yet implemented, so this does not work in
+    # the current compiler!
+    if root.le != nil:
+      yield inorder(root.le)
+    yield root.data
+    if root.ri != nil:
+      yield inorder(root.ri)
+
+  var
+    root: PBinaryTree[string] # instantiate a PBinaryTree with the type string
+  add(root, newNode("hallo")) # instantiates generic procs ``newNode`` and
+  add(root, newNode("world")) # ``add``
+  for str in inorder(root):
+    writeln(stdout, str)
+
+`Generics`:idx: are Nimrod's means to parametrize procs, iterators or types with
+`type parameters`:idx:. Depending on context, the brackets are used either to
+introduce type parameters or to instantiate a generic proc, iterator or type.
+
+
+Templates
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+A `template`:idx: is a simple form of a macro. It operates on parse trees and is
+processed in the semantic pass of the compiler. So they integrate well with the
+rest of the language and share none of C's preprocessor macros flaws. However,
+they may lead to code that is harder to understand and maintain. So one ought
+to use them sparingly. The usage of ordinary procs, iterators or generics is
+preferred to the usage of templates.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  template `!=` (a, b: expr): expr =
+    # this definition exists in the System module
+    not (a == b)
+
+  writeln(5 != 6) # the compiler rewrites that to: writeln(not (5 == 6))
+
+
+Macros
+~~~~~~
+
+`Macros`:idx: are the most powerful feature of Nimrod. They should be used
+only to implement `domain specific languages`:idx:. They may lead to code
+that is harder to understand and maintain. So one ought to use them sparingly.
+The usage of ordinary procs, iterators or generics is preferred to the usage of
+macros.
+
+
+Modules
+-------
+Nimrod supports splitting a program into pieces by a `module`:idx: concept.
+Modules make separate compilation possible. Each module needs to be in its
+own file. Modules enable `information hiding`:idx: and
+`separate compilation`:idx:. A module may gain access to symbols of another
+module by the `import`:idx: statement. `Recursive module dependancies`:idx: are
+allowed, but slightly subtle. Only top-level symbols that are marked with an
+asterisk (``*``) are exported. 
+
+The algorithm for compiling modules is:
+
+- Compile the whole module as usual, following import statements recursively
+- if we have a cycle only import the already parsed symbols (that are
+  exported); if an unknown identifier occurs then abort
+
+This is best illustrated by an example:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  # Module A
+  type
+    T1* = int
+  import B # the compiler starts parsing B
+
+  proc main() =
+    var i = p(3) # works because B has been parsed completely here
+
+  main()
+
+
+  # Module B
+  import A  # A is not parsed here! Only the already known symbols
+            # of A are imported here.
+
+  proc p*(x: A.T1): A.T1 # this works because the compiler has already
+                         # added T1 to A's interface symbol table
+
+  proc p(x: A.T1): A.T1 = return x + 1
+
+
+Scope rules
+-----------
+Identifiers are valid from the point of their declaration until the end of
+the block in which the declaration occurred. The range where the identifier
+is known is the `scope`:idx: of the identifier. The exact scope of an
+identifier depends on the way it was declared.
+
+Block scope
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+The *scope* of a variable declared in the declaration part of a block
+is valid from the point of declaration until the end of the block. If a
+block contains a second block, in which the identifier is redeclared,
+then inside this block, the second declaration will be valid. Upon
+leaving the inner block, the first declaration is valid again. An
+identifier cannot be redefined in the same block, except if valid for
+procedure or iterator overloading purposes.
+
+
+Tuple or object scope
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The field identifiers inside a tuple or object definition are valid in the
+following places:
+
+* To the end of the tuple/object definition
+* Field designators of a variable of the given tuple/object type.
+* In all descendent types of the object type.
+
+Module scope
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+All identifiers in the interface part of a module are valid from the point of
+declaration, until the end of the module. Furthermore, the identifiers are
+known in other modules that import the module. Identifiers from indirectly
+dependent modules are *not* available. The `system`:idx: module is automatically
+imported in all other modules.
+
+If a module imports an identifier by two different modules,
+each occurance of the identifier has to be qualified, unless it is an
+overloaded procedure or iterator in which case the overloading
+resolution takes place:
+
+.. code-block:: nimrod
+  # Module A
+  var x*: string
+
+  # Module B
+  var x*: int
+
+  # Module C
+  import A, B
+  write(stdout, x) # error: x is ambigious
+  write(sdtout, A.x) # no error: qualifier used
+
+  var x = 4
+  write(stdout, x) # not ambigious: uses the module C's x
+
+
+Messages
+========
+
+The Nimrod compiler emits different kinds of messages: `hint`:idx:,
+`warning`:idx:, and `error`:idx: messages. An *error* message is emitted if
+the compiler encounters any static error.
+
+Pragmas
+=======
+
+Syntax::
+
+  pragma ::= CURLYDOT_LE (expr [COLON expr] optComma)+ (CURLYDOT_RI | CURLY_RI)
+
+Pragmas are Nimrod's method to give the compiler additional information/
+commands without introducing a massive number of new keywords. Pragmas are
+processed on the fly during parsing. Pragmas are always enclosed in the
+special ``{.`` and ``.}`` curly brackets.
+
+
+define pragma
+-------------
+The `define`:idx: pragma defines a conditional symbol. This symbol may only be
+used in other pragmas and in the ``defined`` expression and not in ordinary
+Nimrod source code. The conditional symbols go into a special symbol table.
+The compiler defines the target processor and the target operating
+system as conditional symbols.
+
+
+undef pragma
+------------
+The `undef`:idx: pragma the counterpart to the define pragma. It undefines a
+conditional symbol.
+
+
+error pragma
+------------
+The `error`:idx: pragma is used to make the compiler output an error message
+with the given content. Compilation currently aborts after an error, but this
+may be changed in later versions.
+
+
+fatal pragma
+------------
+The `fatal`:idx: pragma is used to make the compiler output an error message
+with the given content. In contrast to the ``error`` pragma, compilation
+is guaranteed to be aborted by this pragma.
+
+warning pragma
+--------------
+The `warning`:idx: pragma is used to make the compiler output a warning message
+with the given content. Compilation continues after the warning.
+
+hint pragma
+-----------
+The `hint`:idx: pragma is used to make the compiler output a hint message with
+the given content. Compilation continues after the hint.
+
+
+compilation option pragmas
+--------------------------
+The listed pragmas here can be used to override the code generation options
+for a section of code.
+::
+
+  "{." pragma: val {pragma: val} ".}"
+
+
+The implementation currently provides the following possible options (later
+various others may be added).
+
+===============  ===============  ============================================
+pragma           allowed values   description
+===============  ===============  ============================================
+checks           on|off           Turns the code generation for all runtime
+                                  checks on or off.
+bound_checks     on|off           Turns the code generation for array bound
+                                  checks on or off.
