final

Final code generation from fully-processed Inter. This is version 1.

Preliminaries
- What This Module Does - An overview of the final module's role and abilities.
Chapter 1: Setting Up
- Final Module - Setting up the use of this module.
Chapter 2: Mechanism
- Code Generation - To generate final code from intermediate code.
- Code Generators - To create the range of possible targets into which Inter can be converted.
- Vanilla - The plain-vanilla code generation strategy, provided for the use of generators to imperative languages such as Inform 6 or C.
- Vanilla Constants - How the vanilla code generation strategy handles constants, including literal texts, lists, and arrays.
- Vanilla Functions - How the vanilla code generation strategy declares functions.
- Vanilla Objects - How the vanilla code generation strategy handles instances, kinds, and properties.
- Vanilla Code - How the vanilla code generation strategy handles the actual code inside functions.
- Vanilla IF - Constructing the dictionary, command verb and action tables when the target language is not Inform 6 (where such things are made automatically).
Chapter 3: Non-Vanilla Generators
- Final Textual Inter - To create the range of possible targets into which Inter can be converted.
- Final Binary Inter - To create the range of possible targets into which Inter can be converted.
- Final Inventory - To print a summary of the contents of a repository.
Chapter 4: Inform 6
- Final Inform 6 - To generate I6 code from intermediate code.
- Inform 6 Constants - To declare I6 constants and arrays.
- Inform 6 Global Variables - To declare global variables, using a mixture of I6 Globals and array entries.
- Inform 6 Objects - To declare I6 objects, classes, attributes and properties.
- Inform 6 Code - To generate I6 routines of imperative code.
Chapter 5: C
- Final C - To generate ANSI C-99 code from intermediate code.
- C Namespace - How identifiers are used in the C code we generate.
- C References - How changes to storage objects are translated into C.
- C Global Variables - Global variables translated to C.
- C Memory Model - How arrays of all kinds are stored in C.
- C Assembly - The problem of assembly language.
- C Arithmetic - Integer and floating-point calculations translated to C.
- C Program Control - Generating C code to effect loops, branches and the like.
- C Conditions - Evaluating conditions.
- C Literals - Text and dictionary words translated to C.
- C Object Model - How objects, classes and properties are compiled to C.
- C Function Model - Translating functions into C, and the calling conventions needed for them.
- C Input-Output Model - How C programs print text out, really.
- C Miniglk - Just enough of the Glk input/output interface to allow simple console text in and out, and no more.
- C Utility Functions - Rounding out the C library with a few functions intended for external code to use.
