    149 \CFA{}\index{cforall@\CFA}\footnote{Pronounced ``\Index*{C-for-all}'', and written \CFA, CFA, or \CFL.} is a modern general-purpose concurrent programming-language, designed as an evolutionary step forward for the C programming language.
     146\CFA{}\index{cforall@\CFA}\footnote{Pronounced ``\Index*{C-for-all}'', and written \CFA, CFA, or \CFL.} is a modern general-purpose programming-language, designed as an evolutionary step forward for the C programming language.
    150147The syntax of \CFA builds from C and should look immediately familiar to C/\Index*[C++]{\CC{}} programmers.
    151148% Any language feature that is not described here can be assumed to be using the standard \Celeven syntax.
    152 \CFA adds many modern features that directly lead to increased \emph{\Index{safety}} and \emph{\Index{productivity}}, while maintaining interoperability with existing C programs and achieving similar performance.
     149\CFA adds many modern programming-language features that directly lead to increased \emph{\Index{safety}} and \emph{\Index{productivity}}, while maintaining interoperability with existing C programs and achieving similar performance.
    153150Like C, \CFA is a statically typed, procedural (non-\Index{object-oriented}) language with a low-overhead runtime, meaning there is no global \Index{garbage-collection}, but \Index{regional garbage-collection}\index{garbage-collection!regional} is possible.
    154151The primary new features include polymorphic routines and types, exceptions, concurrency, and modules.
     
    160157instead, a programmer evolves a legacy program into \CFA by incrementally incorporating \CFA features.
    161158As well, new programs can be written in \CFA using a combination of C and \CFA features.
    162 In many ways, \CFA is to C as \Index{Scala}~\cite{Scala} is to Java, providing a vehicle for new typing and control-flow capabilities on top of a highly popular programming language allowing immediate dissemination.
    163159
    164160\Index*[C++]{\CC{}}~\cite{c++:v1} had a similar goal 30 years ago, allowing object-oriented programming to be incrementally added to C.
     
    169165For example, the following programs compare the C, \CFA, and \CC I/O mechanisms, where the programs output the same result.

    214210\section{Why fix C?}
    215211
    216 The C programming language is a foundational technology for modern computing with billions of lines of code implementing everything from hobby projects to commercial operating-systems.
     212The C programming language is a foundational technology for modern computing with millions of lines of code implementing everything from hobby projects to commercial operating-systems.
    217213This installation base and the programmers producing it represent a massive software-engineering investment spanning decades and likely to continue for decades more.
    218214Even with all its problems, C continues to be popular because it allows writing software at virtually any level in a computer system without restriction.
    219 For system programming, where direct access to hardware, storage management, and real-time issues are a requirement, C is the only language of choice.
    220 The TIOBE index~\cite{TIOBE} for February 2021 ranks the top six most \emph{popular} programming languages as C 17.4\%, \Index*{Java} 12\%, Python 12\%, \Index*[C++]{\CC{}} 7.6\%, \Csharp 4\%, Visual Basic 3.8\% = 56.8\%, where the next 50 languages are less than 2\% each, with a long tail.

    236232As stated, the goal of the \CFA project is to engineer modern language-features into C in an evolutionary rather than revolutionary way.
    237233\CC~\cite{C++14,C++} is an example of a similar project;
    238 however, it largely extended the C language, and did not address many of C's existing problems.\footnote{%
     234however, it largely extended the C language, and did not address most of C's existing problems.\footnote{%
    239235Two important existing problems addressed were changing the type of character literals from ©int© to ©char© and enumerator from ©int© to the type of its enumerators.}
    240236\Index*{Fortran}~\cite{Fortran08}, \Index*{Ada}~\cite{Ada12}, and \Index*{Cobol}~\cite{Cobol14} are examples of programming languages that took an evolutionary approach, where modern language-features (\eg objects, concurrency) are added and problems fixed within the framework of the existing language.
     
    245241
    246242The result of this project is a language that is largely backwards compatible with \Index*[C11]{\Celeven{}}~\cite{C11}, but fixes many of the well known C problems while adding modern language-features.
    247 To achieve these goals required a significant engineering exercise, \ie ``thinking \emph{inside} the C box''.
    248 Considering the large body of existing C code and programmers, there is significant impetus to ensure C is transformed into a modern language.
     243To achieve these goals required a significant engineering exercise, where we had to ``think inside the existing C box''.
     244Without these significant extension to C, it is unable to cope with the needs of modern programming problems and programmers;
     245as a result, it will fade into disuse.
     246Considering the large body of existing C code and programmers, there is significant impetus to ensure C is transformed into a modern programming language.
    249247While \Index*[C11]{\Celeven{}} made a few simple extensions to the language, nothing was added to address existing problems in the language or to augment the language with modern language-features.
    250248While some may argue that modern language-features may make C complex and inefficient, it is clear a language without modern capabilities is insufficient for the advanced programming problems existing today.
     
    253251\section{History}
    254252
    255 The \CFA project started with \Index*{Dave Till}\index{Till, Dave}'s \Index*{K-W C}~\cite{Buhr94a,Till89}, which extended C with new declaration syntax, multiple return values from routines, and advanced assignment capabilities using the notion of tuples \see{\cite{Werther96} for similar work in \Index*[C++]{\CC{}}}.

     254(See~\cite{Werther96} for similar work in \Index*[C++]{\CC{}}.)
    256255The first \CFA implementation of these extensions was by \Index*{Rodolfo Esteves}\index{Esteves, Rodolfo}~\cite{Esteves04}.
    257256
    258257The signature feature of \CFA is \emph{\Index{overload}able} \Index{parametric-polymorphic} functions~\cite{forceone:impl,Cormack90,Duggan96} with functions generalized using a ©forall© clause (giving the language its name):
    259258\begin{cfa}
    260 @forall( otype T )@ T identity( T val ) { return val; }
    261 int forty_two = identity( 42 ); $\C{// T is bound to int, forty\_two == 42}$
     259®forall( otype T )® T identity( T val ) { return val; }
     260int forty_two = identity( 42 ); §\C{// T is bound to int, forty\_two == 42}§
    262261\end{cfa}
    263262% extending the C type system with parametric polymorphism and overloading, as opposed to the \Index*[C++]{\CC{}} approach of object-oriented extensions.
    264263\CFA{}\hspace{1pt}'s polymorphism was originally formalized by \Index*{Glen Ditchfield}\index{Ditchfield, Glen}~\cite{Ditchfield92}, and first implemented by \Index*{Richard Bilson}\index{Bilson, Richard}~\cite{Bilson03}.
    265264However, at that time, there was little interesting in extending C, so work did not continue.
    266 As the saying goes, ``\Index*{What goes around, comes around.}'', and there is now renewed interest in the C programming language because of the legacy code-base, so the \CFA project was restarted in 2015.

    267266
    268267
     
    274273This feature allows \CFA programmers to take advantage of the existing panoply of C libraries to access thousands of external software features.
    275274Language developers often state that adequate \Index{library support} takes more work than designing and implementing the language itself.
    276 Fortunately, \CFA, like \Index*[C++]{\CC{}}, starts with immediate access to all exiting C libraries, and in many cases, can easily wrap library routines with simpler and safer interfaces, at zero or very low cost.
     275Fortunately, \CFA, like \Index*[C++]{\CC{}}, starts with immediate access to all exiting C libraries, and in many cases, can easily wrap library routines with simpler and safer interfaces, at very low cost.
    277276Hence, \CFA begins by leveraging the large repository of C libraries, and than allows programmers to incrementally augment their C programs with modern \Index{backward-compatible} features.
    278277
     
    287286
    288287double key = 5.0, vals[10] = { /* 10 sorted floating values */ };
    289 double * val = (double *)bsearch( &key, vals, 10, sizeof(vals[0]), comp ); $\C{// search sorted array}$
     288double * val = (double *)bsearch( &key, vals, 10, sizeof(vals[0]), comp ); §\C{// search sorted array}§
    290289\end{cfa}
    291290which can be augmented simply with a polymorphic, type-safe, \CFA-overloaded wrappers:
     
    296295
    297296forall( otype T | { int ?<?( T, T ); } ) unsigned int bsearch( T key, const T * arr, size_t size ) {
    298         T * result = bsearch( key, arr, size ); $\C{// call first version}$
    299         return result ? result - arr : size; } $\C{// pointer subtraction includes sizeof(T)}$
    300 
    301 double * val = bsearch( 5.0, vals, 10 ); $\C{// selection based on return type}$
     297        T * result = bsearch( key, arr, size ); §\C{// call first version}§
     298        return result ? result - arr : size; } §\C{// pointer subtraction includes sizeof(T)}§
     299
     300double * val = bsearch( 5.0, vals, 10 ); §\C{// selection based on return type}§
    302301int posn = bsearch( 5.0, vals, 10 );
    303302\end{cfa}
     
    311310\begin{cfa}
    312311forall( dtype T | sized(T) ) T * malloc( void ) { return (T *)malloc( sizeof(T) ); }
    313 int * ip = malloc(); $\C{// select type and size from left-hand side}$
     312int * ip = malloc(); §\C{// select type and size from left-hand side}§
    314313double * dp = malloc();
    315314struct S {...} * sp = malloc();
     
    320319However, it is necessary to differentiate between C and \CFA code because of name \Index{overload}ing, as for \CC.
    321320For example, the C math-library provides the following routines for computing the absolute value of the basic types: ©abs©, ©labs©, ©llabs©, ©fabs©, ©fabsf©, ©fabsl©, ©cabsf©, ©cabs©, and ©cabsl©.
    322 Whereas, \CFA wraps each of these routines into one overloaded name ©abs©:
    323 \begin{cfa}
    324 char @abs@( char );
    325 extern "C" { int @abs@( int ); } $\C{// use default C routine for int}$
    326 long int @abs@( long int );
    327 long long int @abs@( long long int );
    328 float @abs@( float );
    329 double @abs@( double );
    330 long double @abs@( long double );
    331 float _Complex @abs@( float _Complex );
    332 double _Complex @abs@( double _Complex );
    333 long double _Complex @abs@( long double _Complex );

    335 The problem is \Index{name clash} between the C name ©abs© and the \CFA names ©abs©, resulting in two name linkages\index{C linkage}: ©extern "C"© and ©extern "Cforall"© (default).
    336 Overloaded names must use \newterm{name mangling}\index{mangling!name} to create unique names that are different from unmangled C names.
    337 Hence, there is the same need as in \CC to know if a name is a C or \CFA name, so it can be correctly formed.
    338 The only way around this problem is C's approach of creating unique names for each pairing of operation and type.
    339 
    340 This example illustrates a core idea in \CFA: \emph{the \Index{power of a name}}.
     321Whereas, \CFA wraps each of these routines into ones with the overloaded name ©abs©:
     322\begin{cfa}
     323char ®abs®( char );
     324extern "C" { int ®abs®( int ); } §\C{// use default C routine for int}§
     325long int ®abs®( long int );
     326long long int ®abs®( long long int );
     327float ®abs®( float );
     328double ®abs®( double );
     329long double ®abs®( long double );
     330float _Complex ®abs®( float _Complex );
     331double _Complex ®abs®( double _Complex );
     332long double _Complex ®abs®( long double _Complex );
     333\end{cfa}
     334The problem is the name clash between the library routine ©abs© and the \CFA names ©abs©.
     335Hence, names appearing in an ©extern "C"© block have \newterm*{C linkage}.
     336Then overloading polymorphism uses a mechanism called \newterm{name mangling}\index{mangling!name} to create unique names that are different from C names, which are not mangled.
     337Hence, there is the same need, as in \CC, to know if a name is a C or \CFA name, so it can be correctly formed.
     338There is no way around this problem, other than C's approach of creating unique names for each pairing of operation and types.
     339
     340This example strongly illustrates a core idea in \CFA: \emph{the \Index{power of a name}}.
    341341The name ``©abs©'' evokes the notion of absolute value, and many mathematical types provide the notion of absolute value.
    342342Hence, knowing the name ©abs© is sufficient to apply it to any type where it is applicable.

     515\CFA introduces several new keywords (see \VRef{s:CFAKeywords}) that can clash with existing C variable-names in legacy code.
    530516Keyword clashes are accommodated by syntactic transformations using the \CFA backquote escape-mechanism:
    531517\begin{cfa}
    532 int @``@otype = 3; $\C{// make keyword an identifier}$
    533 double @``@forall = 3.5;

     519double ®``®forall = 3.5;
    534520\end{cfa}
    535521
    536522Existing C programs with keyword clashes can be converted by enclosing keyword identifiers in backquotes, and eventually the identifier name can be changed to a non-keyword name.
    537 \VRef[Figure]{f:HeaderFileInterposition} shows how clashes in existing C header-files \see{\VRef{s:StandardHeaders}} can be handled using preprocessor \newterm{interposition}: ©#include_next© and ©-I filename©.

    593578\section{Exponentiation Operator}
    594579
    595 C, \CC, and Java (and other programming languages) have no exponentiation operator\index{exponentiation!operator}\index{operator!exponentiation}, \ie $x^y$, and instead use a routine, like \Indexc{pow(x,y)}, to perform the exponentiation operation.

    602587Floating exponentiation\index{exponentiation!floating} is performed using \Index{logarithm}s\index{exponentiation!logarithm}, so the exponent cannot be negative.

     735This control flow is difficult to simulate with if statements or a ©switch© statement without fall-through as code must be duplicated or placed in a separate routine.
    754736C also uses fall-through to handle multiple case-values resulting in the same action:
    755737\begin{cfa}
    756738switch ( i ) {
    757   @case 1: case 3: case 5:@     // odd values

    762744        break;

    764746\end{cfa}
    765 This situation better handled without fall-through by allowing a list of case values \see{\VRef{s:caseClause}}.
    766 While fall-through itself is not a problem, the problem occurs when fall-through is the default, as this semantics is unintuitive to many programmers and is different from most programming languages with a ©switch© statement.
     747However, this situation is handled in other languages without fall-through by allowing a list of case values.
     748While fall-through itself is not a problem, the problem occurs when fall-through is the default, as this semantics is unintuitive to many programmers and is different from virtually all other programming languages with a ©switch© statement.
    767749Hence, default fall-through semantics results in a large number of programming errors as programmers often \emph{forget} the ©break© statement at the end of a ©case© clause, resulting in inadvertent fall-through.

    787 This usage branches into control structures, which is known to cause both comprehension and technical difficulties.

    813795It is possible to place the ©default© clause anywhere in the list of labelled clauses for a ©switch© statement, rather than only at the end.
    814 Most programming languages with a ©switch© statement require the ©default© clause to appear last in the case-clause list.
     796Virtually all programming languages with a ©switch© statement require the ©default© clause to appear last in the case-clause list.
    815797The logic for this semantics is that after checking all the ©case© clauses without success, the ©default© clause is selected;
    816798hence, physically placing the ©default© clause at the end of the ©case© clause list matches with this semantics.

    833815While the declaration of the local variable ©y© is useful with a scope across all ©case© clauses, the initialization for such a variable is defined to never be executed because control always transfers over it.
    834 Furthermore, any statements before the first ©case© clause can only be executed if labelled and transferred to using a ©goto©, either from outside or inside of the ©switch©, where both are problematic.
    835 As well, the declaration of ©z© cannot occur after the ©case© because a label can only be attached to a statement, and without a fall-through to case 3, ©z© is uninitialized.
    836 The key observation is that the ©switch© statement branches into a control structure, \ie there are multiple entry points into its statement body.

    860842Therefore, to preserve backwards compatibility, it is necessary to introduce a new kind of ©switch© statement, called ©choose©, with no implicit fall-through semantics and an explicit fall-through if the last statement of a case-clause ends with the new keyword ©fallthrough©/©fallthru©, \eg:

     853        ®break® §\C{// explicit end of switch (redundant)}§

    878860An explicit ©fallthru© is retained because it is a C-idiom most C programmers expect, and its absence might discourage programmers from using the ©choose© statement.

    11461093
    1147 C ©continue© and ©break© statements, for altering control flow, are restricted to one level of nesting for a particular control structure.
    1148 This restriction forces programmers to use \Indexc{goto} to achieve the equivalent control-flow for more than one level of nesting.
     1094While C provides ©continue© and ©break© statements for altering control flow, both are restricted to one level of nesting for a particular control structure.
     1095Unfortunately, this restriction forces programmers to use \Indexc{goto} to achieve the equivalent control-flow for more than one level of nesting.
    11491096To prevent having to switch to the ©goto©, \CFA extends the \Indexc{continue}\index{continue@©continue©!labelled}\index{labelled!continue@©continue©} and \Indexc{break}\index{break@©break©!labelled}\index{labelled!break@©break©} with a target label to support static multi-level exit\index{multi-level exit}\index{static multi-level exit}~\cite{Buhr85}, as in Java.
    11501097For both ©continue© and ©break©, the target label must be directly associated with a ©for©, ©while© or ©do© statement;
    11511098for ©break©, the target label can also be associated with a ©switch©, ©if© or compound (©{}©) statement.
    1152 \VRef[Figure]{f:MultiLevelExit} shows a comparison between labelled ©continue© and ©break© and the corresponding C equivalent using ©goto© and labels.
     1099\VRef[Figure]{f:MultiLevelExit} shows ©continue© and ©break© indicating the specific control structure, and the corresponding C program using only ©goto© and labels.
    11531100The innermost loop has 8 exit points, which cause continuation or termination of one or more of the 7 \Index{nested control-structure}s.

    1246 Grouping heterogeneous data into an \newterm{aggregate} (structure/union) is a common programming practice, and aggregates may be nested:
    1247 \begin{cfa}
    1248 struct Person {                                                         $\C{// aggregate}$
    1249         struct Name { char first[20], last[20]; } name $\C{// nesting}$
    1250         struct Address { ... } address                  $\C{// nesting}$
    1251         int sex;
     1193Grouping heterogeneous data into \newterm{aggregate}s (structure/union) is a common programming practice, and an aggregate can be further organized into more complex structures, such as arrays and containers:
     1194\begin{cfa}
     1195struct S { §\C{// aggregate}§
     1196        char c; §\C{// fields}§
     1197        int i;
     1198        double d;
    12521199};
    1253 \end{cfa}
    1254 Functions manipulating aggregates must repeat the aggregate name to access its containing fields.
    1255 \begin{cfa}
    1256 Person p
    1257 @p.@name; @p.@address; @p.@sex; $\C{// access containing fields}$
    1258 \end{cfa}
    1259 which extends to multiple levels of qualification for nested aggregates and multiple aggregates.
    1260 \begin{cfa}
    1261 struct Ticket { ... } t;
    1262 @p.name@.first; @p.address@.street;             $\C{// access nested fields}$
    1263 @t.@departure; @t.@cost;                                $\C{// access multiple aggregate}$
    1264 \end{cfa}
    1265 Repeated aggregate qualification is tedious and makes code difficult to read.
    1266 Therefore, reducing aggregate qualification is a useful language design goal.
    1267 
    1268 C allows unnamed nested aggregates that open their scope into the containing aggregate.
    1269 This feature is used to group fields for attributes and/or with ©union© aggregates.
    1270 \begin{cfa}
    1271 struct S {
    1272         struct { int g,  h; } __attribute__(( aligned(64) ));
    1273         int tag;
    1274         union {
    1275                 struct { char c1,  c2; } __attribute__(( aligned(128) ));
    1276                 struct { int i1,  i2; };
    1277                 struct { double d1,  d2; };
    1278         };
    1279 };
    1280 s.g; s.h; s.tag; s.c1; s.c2; s.i1; s.i2; s.d1; s.d2;
    1281 \end{cfa}
    1282 
    1283 Object-oriented languages reduce qualification for class variables within member functions, \eg \CC:
     1200S s, as[10];
     1201\end{cfa}
     1202However, functions manipulating aggregates must repeat the aggregate name to access its containing fields:
     1203\begin{cfa}
     1204void f( S s ) {
     1205        ®s.®c; ®s.®i; ®s.®d; §\C{// access containing fields}§
     1206}
     1207\end{cfa}
     1208which extends to multiple levels of qualification for nested aggregates.
     1209A similar situation occurs in object-oriented programming, \eg \CC:
    12841210\begin{C++}
    12851211struct S {
    1286         char @c@;   int @i@;   double @d@;
    1287         void f( /* S * this */ ) {                              $\C{// implicit ``this'' parameter}$
    1288                 @c@;   @i@;   @d@;                                      $\C{// this->c; this->i; this->d;}$
     1212        char c; §\C{// fields}§
     1213        int i;
     1214        double d;
     1215        void f() { §\C{// implicit ``this'' aggregate}§
     1216                ®this->®c; ®this->®i; ®this->®d; §\C{// access containing fields}§
    12891217        }
    12901218}
    12911219\end{C++}
    1292 In general, qualification is elided for the variables and functions in the lexical scopes visible from a member function.
    1293 However, qualification is necessary for name shadowing and explicit aggregate parameters.
    1294 \begin{cfa}
    1295 struct T {
    1296         char @m@;   int @i@;   double @n@;              $\C{// derived class variables}$
    1297 };
    1298 struct S : public T {
    1299         char @c@;   int @i@;   double @d@;              $\C{// class variables}$
    1300         void g( double @d@, T & t ) {
    1301                 d;   @t@.m;   @t@.i;   @t@.n;           $\C{// function parameter}$
    1302                 c;   i;   @this->@d;   @S::@d;          $\C{// class S variables}$
    1303                 m;   @T::@i;   n;                                       $\C{// class T variables}$
    1304         }
    1305 };
    1306 \end{cfa}
    1307 Note the three different forms of qualification syntax in \CC, ©.©, ©->©, ©::©, which is confusing.
    1308 
    1309 Since \CFA in not object-oriented, it has no implicit parameter with its implicit qualification.
    1310 Instead \CFA introduces a general mechanism using the ©with© statement \see{Pascal~\cite[\S~4.F]{Pascal}} to explicitly elide aggregate qualification by opening a scope containing the field identifiers.
    1311 Hence, the qualified fields become variables with the side-effect that it is simpler to write, easier to read, and optimize field references in a block.
    1312 \begin{cfa}
    1313 void f( S & this ) @with ( this )@ {            $\C{// with statement}$
    1314         @c@;   @i@;   @d@;                                              $\C{// this.c, this.i, this.d}$
     1220Object-oriented nesting of member functions in a \lstinline[language=C++]@class/struct@ allows eliding \lstinline[language=C++]@this->@ because of lexical scoping.
     1221However, for other aggregate parameters, qualification is necessary:
     1222\begin{cfa}
     1223struct T { double m, n; };
     1224int S::f( T & t ) { §\C{// multiple aggregate parameters}§
     1225        c; i; d; §\C{\color{red}// this--{\textgreater}.c, this--{\textgreater}.i, this--{\textgreater}.d}§
     1226        ®t.®m; ®t.®n; §\C{// must qualify}§
     1227}
     1228\end{cfa}
     1229
     1230To simplify the programmer experience, \CFA provides a ©with© statement (see Pascal~\cite[\S~4.F]{Pascal}) to elide aggregate qualification to fields by opening a scope containing the field identifiers.
     1231Hence, the qualified fields become variables with the side-effect that it is easier to optimizing field references in a block.
     1232\begin{cfa}
     1233void f( S & this ) ®with ( this )® { §\C{// with statement}§
     1234        c; i; d; §\C{\color{red}// this.c, this.i, this.d}§
    13151235}
    13161236\end{cfa}
    13171237with the generality of opening multiple aggregate-parameters:
    13181238\begin{cfa}
    1319 void g( S & s, T & t ) @with ( s, t )@ {        $\C{// multiple aggregate parameters}$
    1320         c;   @s.@i;   d;                                                $\C{// s.c, s.i, s.d}$
    1321         m;   @t.@i;   n;                                                $\C{// t.m, t.i, t.n}$
    1322 }
    1323 \end{cfa}
    1324 where qualification is only necessary to disambiguate the shadowed variable ©i©.
    1325 
    1326 In detail, the ©with© statement may appear as the body of a function or nested within a function body.
    1327 The ©with© clause takes a list of expressions, where each expression provides an aggregate type and object.
     1239void f( S & s, T & t ) ®with ( s, t )® { §\C{// multiple aggregate parameters}§
     1240        c; i; d; §\C{\color{red}// s.c, s.i, s.d}§
     1241        m; n; §\C{\color{red}// t.m, t.n}§
     1242}
     1243\end{cfa}
     1244
     1245In detail, the ©with© statement has the form:
     1246\begin{cfa}
     1247§\emph{with-statement}§:
     1248        'with' '(' §\emph{expression-list}§ ')' §\emph{compound-statement}§
     1249\end{cfa}
     1250and may appear as the body of a function or nested within a function body.
     1251Each expression in the expression-list provides a type and object.
     1252The type must be an aggregate type.
    13281253(Enumerations are already opened.)
    1329 To open a pointer type, the pointer must be dereferenced to obtain a reference to the aggregate type.
    1330 \begin{cfa}
    1331 S * sp;
    1332 with ( *sp ) { ... }
    1333 \end{cfa}
    1334 The expression object is the implicit qualifier for the open structure-fields.
    1335 \CFA's ability to overload variables \see{\VRef{s:VariableOverload}} and use the left-side of assignment in type resolution means most fields with the same name but different types are automatically disambiguated, eliminating qualification.
     1254The object is the implicit qualifier for the open structure-fields.
     1255
    13361256All expressions in the expression list are open in parallel within the compound statement.
    13371257This semantic is different from Pascal, which nests the openings from left to right.
    13381258The difference between parallel and nesting occurs for fields with the same name and type:
    13391259\begin{cfa}
    1340 struct Q { int @i@; int k; int @m@; } q, w;
    1341 struct R { int @i@; int j; double @m@; } r, w;
    1342 with ( r, q ) {
    1343         j + k;                                                                  $\C{// unambiguous, r.j + q.k}$
    1344         m = 5.0;                                                                $\C{// unambiguous, q.m = 5.0}$
    1345         m = 1;                                                                  $\C{// unambiguous, r.m = 1}$
    1346         int a = m;                                                              $\C{// unambiguous, a = r.i }$
    1347         double b = m;                                                   $\C{// unambiguous, b = q.m}$
    1348         int c = r.i + q.i;                                              $\C{// disambiguate with qualification}$
    1349         (double)m;                                                              $\C{// disambiguate with cast}$
    1350 }
    1351 \end{cfa}
    1352 For parallel semantics, both ©r.i© and ©q.i© are visible, so ©i© is ambiguous without qualification;
    1353 for nested semantics, ©q.i© hides ©r.i©, so ©i© implies ©q.i©.
    1354 Pascal nested-semantics is possible by nesting ©with© statements.
    1355 \begin{cfa}
    1356 with ( r ) {
    1357         i;                                                                              $\C{// unambiguous, r.i}$
    1358         with ( q ) {
    1359                 i;                                                                      $\C{// unambiguous, q.i}$
    1360         }
    1361 }
    1362 \end{cfa}
    1363 A cast or qualification can be used to disambiguate variables within a ©with© \emph{statement}.
    1364 A cast can be used to disambiguate among overload variables in a ©with© \emph{expression}:
    1365 \begin{cfa}
    1366 with ( w ) { ... }                                                      $\C{// ambiguous, same name and no context}$
    1367 with ( (Q)w ) { ... }                                           $\C{// unambiguous, cast}$
    1368 \end{cfa}
    1369 Because there is no left-side in the ©with© expression to implicitly disambiguate between the ©w© variables, it is necessary to explicitly disambiguate by casting ©w© to type ©Q© or ©R©.
    1370 
    1371 Finally, there is an interesting problem between parameters and the function-body ©with©, \eg:
    1372 \begin{cfa}
    1373 void ?{}( S & s, int i ) with ( s ) { $\C{// constructor}$
    1374         @s.i = i;@  j = 3;  m = 5.5; $\C{// initialize fields}$
     1260struct S { int ®i®; int j; double m; } s, w;
     1261struct T { int ®i®; int k; int m; } t, w;
     1262with ( s, t ) {
     1263        j + k; §\C{// unambiguous, s.j + t.k}§
     1264        m = 5.0; §\C{// unambiguous, t.m = 5.0}§
     1265        m = 1; §\C{// unambiguous, s.m = 1}§
     1266        int a = m; §\C{// unambiguous, a = s.i }§
     1267        double b = m; §\C{// unambiguous, b = t.m}§
     1268        int c = s.i + t.i; §\C{// unambiguous, qualification}§
     1269        (double)m; §\C{// unambiguous, cast}§
     1270}
     1271\end{cfa}
     1272For parallel semantics, both ©s.i© and ©t.i© are visible, so ©i© is ambiguous without qualification;
     1273for nested semantics, ©t.i© hides ©s.i©, so ©i© implies ©t.i©.
     1274\CFA's ability to overload variables means fields with the same name but different types are automatically disambiguated, eliminating most qualification when opening multiple aggregates.
     1275Qualification or a cast is used to disambiguate.
     1276
     1277There is an interesting problem between parameters and the function-body ©with©, \eg:
     1278\begin{cfa}
     1279void ?{}( S & s, int i ) with ( s ) { §\C{// constructor}§
     1280        ®s.i = i;®  j = 3;  m = 5.5; §\C{// initialize fields}§
    13751281}
    13761282\end{cfa}
     
    13851291and implicitly opened \emph{after} a function-body open, to give them higher priority:
    13861292\begin{cfa}
    1387 void ?{}( S & s, int @i@ ) with ( s ) @with( $\emph{\R{params}}$ )@ { // syntax not allowed, illustration only
    1388         s.i = @i@; j = 3; m = 5.5;
    1389 }
    1390 \end{cfa}
    1391 This implicit semantic matches with programmer expectation.
    1392 
     1293void ?{}( S & s, int ®i® ) with ( s ) ®with( §\emph{\color{red}params}§ )® {
     1294        s.i = ®i®; j = 3; m = 5.5;
     1295}
     1296\end{cfa}
     1297Finally, a cast may be used to disambiguate among overload variables in a ©with© expression:
     1298\begin{cfa}
     1299with ( w ) { ... } §\C{// ambiguous, same name and no context}§
     1300with ( (S)w ) { ... } §\C{// unambiguous, cast}§
     1301\end{cfa}
     1302and ©with© expressions may be complex expressions with type reference (see Section~\ref{s:References}) to aggregate:
     1303% \begin{cfa}
     1304% struct S { int i, j; } sv;
     1305% with ( sv ) { §\C{// implicit reference}§
     1306%       S & sr = sv;
     1307%       with ( sr ) { §\C{// explicit reference}§
     1308%               S * sp = &sv;
     1309%               with ( *sp ) { §\C{// computed reference}§
     1310%                       i = 3; j = 4; §\C{\color{red}// sp--{\textgreater}i, sp--{\textgreater}j}§
     1311%               }
     1312%               i = 2; j = 3; §\C{\color{red}// sr.i, sr.j}§
     1313%       }
     1314%       i = 1; j = 2; §\C{\color{red}// sv.i, sv.j}§
     1315% }
     1316% \end{cfa}
     1317
     1318In \Index{object-oriented} programming, there is an implicit first parameter, often names \textbf{©self©} or \textbf{©this©}, which is elided.
     1319\begin{C++}
     1320class C {
     1321        int i, j;
     1322        int mem() { §\C{\color{red}// implicit "this" parameter}§
     1323                i = 1; §\C{\color{red}// this->i}§
     1324                j = 2; §\C{\color{red}// this->j}§
     1325        }
     1326}
     1327\end{C++}
     1328Since \CFA is non-object-oriented, the equivalent object-oriented program looks like:
     1329\begin{cfa}
     1330struct S { int i, j; };
     1331int mem( S & ®this® ) { §\C{// explicit "this" parameter}§
     1332        ®this.®i = 1; §\C{// "this" is not elided}§
     1333        ®this.®j = 2;
     1334}
     1335\end{cfa}
     1336but it is cumbersome having to write ``©this.©'' many times in a member.
     1337
     1338\CFA provides a ©with© clause/statement (see Pascal~\cite[\S~4.F]{Pascal}) to elided the "©this.©" by opening a scope containing field identifiers, changing the qualified fields into variables and giving an opportunity for optimizing qualified references.
     1339\begin{cfa}
     1340int mem( S & this ) ®with( this )® { §\C{// with clause}§
     1341        i = 1; §\C{\color{red}// this.i}§
     1342        j = 2; §\C{\color{red}// this.j}§
     1343}
     1344\end{cfa}
     1345which extends to multiple routine parameters:
     1346\begin{cfa}
     1347struct T { double m, n; };
     1348int mem2( S & this1, T & this2 ) ®with( this1, this2 )® {
     1349        i = 1; j = 2;
     1350        m = 1.0; n = 2.0;
     1351}
     1352\end{cfa}
     1353
     1354The statement form is used within a block:
     1355\begin{cfa}
     1356int foo() {
     1357        struct S1 { ... } s1;
     1358        struct S2 { ... } s2;
     1359        ®with( s1 )® { §\C{// with statement}§
     1360                // access fields of s1 without qualification
     1361                ®with s2® { §\C{// nesting}§
     1362                        // access fields of s1 and s2 without qualification
     1363                }
     1364        }
     1365        ®with s1, s2® {
     1366                // access unambiguous fields of s1 and s2 without qualification
     1367        }
     1368}
     1369\end{cfa}
     1370
     1371When opening multiple structures, fields with the same name and type are ambiguous and must be fully qualified.
     1372For fields with the same name but different type, context/cast can be used to disambiguate.
     1373\begin{cfa}
     1374struct S { int i; int j; double m; } a, c;
     1375struct T { int i; int k; int m } b, c;
     1376with( a, b )
     1377{
     1378}
     1379\end{cfa}
     1380
     1381\begin{comment}
     1382The components in the "with" clause
     1383
     1384  with a, b, c { ... }
     1385
     1386serve 2 purposes: each component provides a type and object. The type must be a
     1387structure type. Enumerations are already opened, and I think a union is opened
     1388to some extent, too. (Or is that just unnamed unions?) The object is the target
     1389that the naked structure-fields apply to. The components are open in "parallel"
     1390at the scope of the "with" clause/statement, so opening "a" does not affect
     1391opening "b", etc. This semantic is different from Pascal, which nests the
     1392openings.
     1393
     1394Having said the above, it seems reasonable to allow a "with" component to be an
     1395expression. The type is the static expression-type and the object is the result
     1396of the expression. Again, the type must be an aggregate. Expressions require
     1397parenthesis around the components.
     1398
     1399  with( a, b, c ) { ... }
     1400
     1401Does this now make sense?
     1402
     1403Having written more CFA code, it is becoming clear to me that I *really* want
     1404the "with" to be implemented because I hate having to type all those object
     1405names for fields. It's a great way to drive people away from the language.

    14001414Non-local transfer can cause stack unwinding, \ie non-local routine termination, depending on the kind of raise.
    14011415\begin{cfa}

     1423} catch( E e ; §boolean-predicate§ ) {          §\C{// termination handler}§
    14101424        // recover and continue

     1425} catchResume( E e ; §boolean-predicate§ ) { §\C{// resumption handler}§
    14121426        // repair and return
    14131427} finally {
     
    14161430\end{cfa}
    14171431The kind of raise and handler match: ©throw© with ©catch© and ©throwResume© with ©catchResume©.
    1418 Then the exception type must match along with any additional predicate must be true.
     1432Then the exception type must match along with any additonal predicate must be true.
    14191433The ©catch© and ©catchResume© handlers may appear in any oder.
    14201434However, the ©finally© clause must appear at the end of the ©try© statement.
     
    14691483For example, a routine returning a \Index{pointer} to an array of integers is defined and used in the following way:
    14701484\begin{cfa}
    1471 int @(*@f@())[@5@]@ {...}; $\C{// definition}$
    1472  ... @(*@f@())[@3@]@ += 1; $\C{// usage}$
     1485int ®(*®f®())[®5®]® {...}; §\C{// definition}§
     1486 ... ®(*®f®())[®3®]® += 1; §\C{// usage}§
    14731487\end{cfa}
    14741488Essentially, the return type is wrapped around the routine name in successive layers (like an \Index{onion}).

    17071720\end{cfa}
     
    17151728For example, \Index*{Algol68}~\cite{Algol68} infers pointer dereferencing to select the best meaning for each pointer usage
    17161729\begin{cfa}
    1717 p2 = p1 + x; $\C{// compiler infers *p2 = *p1 + x;}$
     1730p2 = p1 + x; §\C{// compiler infers *p2 = *p1 + x;}§
    17181731\end{cfa}
    17191732Algol68 infers the following dereferencing ©*p2 = *p1 + x©, because adding the arbitrary integer value in ©x© to the address of ©p1© and storing the resulting address into ©p2© is an unlikely operation.
     
    17231736In C, objects of pointer type always manipulate the pointer object's address:
    17241737\begin{cfa}
    1725 p1 = p2; $\C{// p1 = p2\ \ rather than\ \ *p1 = *p2}$
    1726 p2 = p1 + x; $\C{// p2 = p1 + x\ \ rather than\ \ *p2 = *p1 + x}$
     1738p1 = p2; §\C{// p1 = p2\ \ rather than\ \ *p1 = *p2}§
     1739p2 = p1 + x; §\C{// p2 = p1 + x\ \ rather than\ \ *p2 = *p1 + x}§
    17271740\end{cfa}
    17281741even though the assignment to ©p2© is likely incorrect, and the programmer probably meant:
    17291742\begin{cfa}
    1730 p1 = p2; $\C{// pointer address assignment}$
    1731 @*@p2 = @*@p1 + x; $\C{// pointed-to value assignment / operation}$
     1743p1 = p2; §\C{// pointer address assignment}§
     1744®*®p2 = ®*®p1 + x; §\C{// pointed-to value assignment / operation}§
    17321745\end{cfa}
    17331746The C semantics work well for situations where manipulation of addresses is the primary meaning and data is rarely accessed, such as storage management (©malloc©/©free©).
     
    17451758To support this common case, a reference type is introduced in \CFA, denoted by ©&©, which is the opposite dereference semantics to a pointer type, making the value at the pointed-to location the implicit semantics for dereferencing (similar but not the same as \CC \Index{reference type}s).
    17461759\begin{cfa}
    1747 int x, y, @&@ r1, @&@ r2, @&&@ r3;
    1748 @&@r1 = &x; $\C{// r1 points to x}$
    1749 @&@r2 = &r1; $\C{// r2 points to x}$
    1750 @&@r1 = &y; $\C{// r1 points to y}$
    1751 @&&@r3 = @&@&r2; $\C{// r3 points to r2}$
    1752 r2 = ((r1 + r2) * (r3 - r1)) / (r3 - 15); $\C{// implicit dereferencing}$
     1760int x, y, ®&® r1, ®&® r2, ®&&® r3;
     1761®&®r1 = &x; §\C{// r1 points to x}§
     1762®&®r2 = &r1; §\C{// r2 points to x}§
     1763®&®r1 = &y; §\C{// r1 points to y}§
     1764®&&®r3 = ®&®&r2; §\C{// r3 points to r2}§
     1765r2 = ((r1 + r2) * (r3 - r1)) / (r3 - 15); §\C{// implicit dereferencing}§
    17531766\end{cfa}
    17541767Except for auto-dereferencing by the compiler, this reference example is the same as the previous pointer example.
     
    17561769One way to conceptualize a reference is via a rewrite rule, where the compiler inserts a dereference operator before the reference variable for each reference qualifier in a declaration, so the previous example becomes:
    17571770\begin{cfa}
    1758 @*@r2 = ((@*@r1 + @*@r2) @*@ (@**@r3 - @*@r1)) / (@**@r3 - 15);
     1771®*®r2 = ((®*®r1 + ®*®r2) ®*® (®**®r3 - ®*®r1)) / (®**®r3 - 15);
    17591772\end{cfa}
    17601773When a reference operation appears beside a dereference operation, \eg ©&*©, they cancel out.
     
    17651778For a \CFA reference type, the cancellation on the left-hand side of assignment leaves the reference as an address (\Index{lvalue}):
    17661779\begin{cfa}
    1767 (&@*@)r1 = &x; $\C{// (\&*) cancel giving address in r1 not variable pointed-to by r1}$
     1780(&®*®)r1 = &x; §\C{// (\&*) cancel giving address in r1 not variable pointed-to by r1}§
    17681781\end{cfa}
    17691782Similarly, the address of a reference can be obtained for assignment or computation (\Index{rvalue}):
    17701783\begin{cfa}
    1771 (&(&@*@)@*@)r3 = &(&@*@)r2; $\C{// (\&*) cancel giving address in r2, (\&(\&*)*) cancel giving address in r3}$
     1784(&(&®*®)®*®)r3 = &(&®*®)r2; §\C{// (\&*) cancel giving address in r2, (\&(\&*)*) cancel giving address in r3}§
    17721785\end{cfa}
    17731786Cancellation\index{cancellation!pointer/reference}\index{pointer!cancellation} works to arbitrary depth.
     
    17771790int x, *p1 = &x, **p2 = &p1, ***p3 = &p2,
    17781791                 &r1 = x,    &&r2 = r1,   &&&r3 = r2;
    1779 ***p3 = 3; $\C{// change x}$
    1780 r3 = 3; $\C{// change x, ***r3}$
    1781 **p3 = ...; $\C{// change p1}$
    1782 &r3 = ...; $\C{// change r1, (\&*)**r3, 1 cancellation}$
    1783 *p3 = ...; $\C{// change p2}$
    1784 &&r3 = ...; $\C{// change r2, (\&(\&*)*)*r3, 2 cancellations}$
    1785 &&&r3 = p3; $\C{// change r3 to p3, (\&(\&(\&*)*)*)r3, 3 cancellations}$
     1792***p3 = 3; §\C{// change x}§
     1793r3 = 3; §\C{// change x, ***r3}§
     1794**p3 = ...; §\C{// change p1}§
     1795&r3 = ...; §\C{// change r1, (\&*)**r3, 1 cancellation}§
     1796*p3 = ...; §\C{// change p2}§
     1797&&r3 = ...; §\C{// change r2, (\&(\&*)*)*r3, 2 cancellations}§
     1798&&&r3 = p3; §\C{// change r3 to p3, (\&(\&(\&*)*)*)r3, 3 cancellations}§
    17861799\end{cfa}
    17871800Furthermore, both types are equally performant, as the same amount of dereferencing occurs for both types.
     
    17901803As for a pointer type, a reference type may have qualifiers:
    17911804\begin{cfa}
    1792 const int cx = 5; $\C{// cannot change cx;}$
    1793 const int & cr = cx; $\C{// cannot change what cr points to}$
    1794 @&@cr = &cx; $\C{// can change cr}$
    1795 cr = 7; $\C{// error, cannot change cx}$
    1796 int & const rc = x; $\C{// must be initialized}$
    1797 @&@rc = &x; $\C{// error, cannot change rc}$
    1798 const int & const crc = cx; $\C{// must be initialized}$
    1799 crc = 7; $\C{// error, cannot change cx}$
    1800 @&@crc = &cx; $\C{// error, cannot change crc}$
     1805const int cx = 5; §\C{// cannot change cx;}§
     1806const int & cr = cx; §\C{// cannot change what cr points to}§
     1807®&®cr = &cx; §\C{// can change cr}§
     1808cr = 7; §\C{// error, cannot change cx}§
     1809int & const rc = x; §\C{// must be initialized}§
     1810®&®rc = &x; §\C{// error, cannot change rc}§
     1811const int & const crc = cx; §\C{// must be initialized}§
     1812crc = 7; §\C{// error, cannot change cx}§
     1813®&®crc = &cx; §\C{// error, cannot change crc}§
    18011814\end{cfa}
    18021815Hence, for type ©& const©, there is no pointer assignment, so ©&rc = &x© is disallowed, and \emph{the address value cannot be the null pointer unless an arbitrary pointer is coerced\index{coercion} into the reference}:
    18031816\begin{cfa}
    1804 int & const cr = *0; $\C{// where 0 is the int * zero}$
     1817int & const cr = *0; §\C{// where 0 is the int * zero}§
    18051818\end{cfa}
    18061819Note, constant reference-types do not prevent \Index{addressing errors} because of explicit storage-management:
     
    18091822cr = 5;
    18101823free( &cr );
    1811 cr = 7; $\C{// unsound pointer dereference}$
     1824cr = 7; §\C{// unsound pointer dereference}§
    18121825\end{cfa}
    18131826
    18141827The position of the ©const© qualifier \emph{after} the pointer/reference qualifier causes confuse for C programmers.
    18151828The ©const© qualifier cannot be moved before the pointer/reference qualifier for C style-declarations;
    1816 \CFA-style declarations \see{\VRef{s:AlternativeDeclarations}} attempt to address this issue:

    18331846Finally, like pointers, references are usable and composable with other type operators and generators.
    18341847\begin{cfa}
    1835 int w, x, y, z, & ar[3] = { x, y, z }; $\C{// initialize array of references}$
    1836 &ar[1] = &w; $\C{// change reference array element}$
    1837 typeof( ar[1] ) p; $\C{// (gcc) is int, \ie the type of referenced object}$
    1838 typeof( &ar[1] ) q; $\C{// (gcc) is int \&, \ie the type of reference}$
    1839 sizeof( ar[1] ) == sizeof( int ); $\C{// is true, \ie the size of referenced object}$
    1840 sizeof( &ar[1] ) == sizeof( int *) $\C{// is true, \ie the size of a reference}$
     1848int w, x, y, z, & ar[3] = { x, y, z }; §\C{// initialize array of references}§
     1849&ar[1] = &w; §\C{// change reference array element}§
     1850typeof( ar[1] ) p; §\C{// (gcc) is int, \ie the type of referenced object}§
     1851typeof( &ar[1] ) q; §\C{// (gcc) is int \&, \ie the type of reference}§
     1852sizeof( ar[1] ) == sizeof( int ); §\C{// is true, \ie the size of referenced object}§
     1853sizeof( &ar[1] ) == sizeof( int *) §\C{// is true, \ie the size of a reference}§
    18411854\end{cfa}
    18421855
    18431856In contrast to \CFA reference types, \Index*[C++]{\CC{}}'s reference types are all ©const© references, preventing changes to the reference address, so only value assignment is possible, which eliminates half of the \Index{address duality}.
    18441857Also, \CC does not allow \Index{array}s\index{array!reference} of reference\footnote{
    1845 The reason for disallowing arrays of reference is unknown, but possibly comes from references being ethereal (like a textual macro), and hence, replaceable by the referent object.}
     1858The reason for disallowing arrays of reference is unknown, but possibly comes from references being ethereal (like a textual macro), and hence, replaceable by the referant object.}
    18461859\Index*{Java}'s reference types to objects (all Java objects are on the heap) are like C pointers, which always manipulate the address, and there is no (bit-wise) object assignment, so objects are explicitly cloned by shallow or deep copying, which eliminates half of the address duality.
    18471860
     
    18551868Therefore, for pointer/reference initialization, the initializing value must be an address not a value.
    18561869\begin{cfa}
    1857 int * p = &x; $\C{// assign address of x}$
    1858 @int * p = x;@ $\C{// assign value of x}$
    1859 int & r = x; $\C{// must have address of x}$
     1870int * p = &x; §\C{// assign address of x}§
     1871®int * p = x;® §\C{// assign value of x}§
     1872int & r = x; §\C{// must have address of x}§
    18601873\end{cfa}
    18611874Like the previous example with C pointer-arithmetic, it is unlikely assigning the value of ©x© into a pointer is meaningful (again, a warning is usually given).
     
    18661879Similarly, when a reference type is used for a parameter/return type, the call-site argument does not require a reference operator for the same reason.
    18671880\begin{cfa}
    1868 int & f( int & r ); $\C{// reference parameter and return}$
    1869 z = f( x ) + f( y ); $\C{// reference operator added, temporaries needed for call results}$
     1881int & f( int & r ); §\C{// reference parameter and return}§
     1882z = f( x ) + f( y ); §\C{// reference operator added, temporaries needed for call results}§
    18701883\end{cfa}
    18711884Within routine ©f©, it is possible to change the argument by changing the corresponding parameter, and parameter ©r© can be locally reassigned within ©f©.
     
    18801893When a pointer/reference parameter has a ©const© value (immutable), it is possible to pass literals and expressions.
    18811894\begin{cfa}
    1882 void f( @const@ int & cr );
    1883 void g( @const@ int * cp );
    1884 f( 3 );                   g( @&@3 );
    1885 f( x + y );             g( @&@(x + y) );
     1895void f( ®const® int & cr );
     1896void g( ®const® int * cp );
     1897f( 3 );                   g( ®&®3 );
     1898f( x + y );             g( ®&®(x + y) );
    18861899\end{cfa}
    18871900Here, the compiler passes the address to the literal 3 or the temporary for the expression ©x + y©, knowing the argument cannot be changed through the parameter.
     
    18941907void f( int & r );
    18951908void g( int * p );
    1896 f( 3 );                   g( @&@3 ); $\C{// compiler implicit generates temporaries}$
    1897 f( x + y );             g( @&@(x + y) ); $\C{// compiler implicit generates temporaries}$
     1909f( 3 );                   g( ®&®3 ); §\C{// compiler implicit generates temporaries}§
     1910f( x + y );             g( ®&®(x + y) ); §\C{// compiler implicit generates temporaries}§
    18981911\end{cfa}
    18991912Essentially, there is an implicit \Index{rvalue} to \Index{lvalue} conversion in this case.\footnote{
     
    19061919\begin{cfa}
    19071920void f( int i );
    1908 void (* fp)( int ); $\C{// routine pointer}$

     1926(*fp)(3); §\C{// pointer invocation}§
    19141927\end{cfa}
    19151928While C's treatment of routine objects has similarity to inferring a reference type in initialization contexts, the examples are assignment not initialization, and all possible forms of assignment are possible (©f©, ©&f©, ©*f©) without regard for type.
    19161929Instead, a routine object should be referenced by a ©const© reference:
    19171930\begin{cfa}
    1918 @const@ void (@&@ fr)( int ) = f; $\C{// routine reference}$
    1919 fr = ... $\C{// error, cannot change code}$
    1920 &fr = ...; $\C{// changing routine reference}$
    1921 fr( 3 ); $\C{// reference call to f}$
    1922 (*fr)(3); $\C{// error, incorrect type}$
     1931®const® void (®&® fr)( int ) = f; §\C{// routine reference}§
     1932fr = ... §\C{// error, cannot change code}§
     1933&fr = ...; §\C{// changing routine reference}§
     1934fr( 3 ); §\C{// reference call to f}§
     1935(*fr)(3); §\C{// error, incorrect type}§
    19231936\end{cfa}
    19241937because the value of the routine object is a routine literal, \ie the routine code is normally immutable during execution.\footnote{

    20002013\end{cfa}
    20012014In both case, modifications to the temporary are inaccessible (\Index{warning}).
     
    21692182The point of the new syntax is to allow returning multiple values from a routine~\cite{Galletly96,CLU}, \eg:
    21702183\begin{cfa}
    2171 @[ int o1, int o2, char o3 ]@ f( int i1, char i2, char i3 ) {
    2172         $\emph{routine body}$
     2184®[ int o1, int o2, char o3 ]® f( int i1, char i2, char i3 ) {
     2185        §\emph{routine body}§
    21732186}
    21742187\end{cfa}
     
    21812194Declaration qualifiers can only appear at the start of a routine definition, \eg:
    21822195\begin{cfa}
    2183 @extern@ [ int x ] g( int y ) {$\,$}
     2196®extern® [ int x ] g( int y ) {§\,§}
    21842197\end{cfa}
    21852198Lastly, if there are no output parameters or input parameters, the brackets and/or parentheses must still be specified;
    21862199in both cases the type is assumed to be void as opposed to old style C defaults of int return type and unknown parameter types, respectively, as in:
    21872200\begin{cfa}
    2188 [$\,$] g(); $\C{// no input or output parameters}$
    2189 [ void ] g( void ); $\C{// no input or output parameters}$
     2201[§\,§] g(); §\C{// no input or output parameters}§
     2202[ void ] g( void ); §\C{// no input or output parameters}§
    21902203\end{cfa}
    21912204
     
    22052218\begin{cfa}
    22062219typedef int foo;
    2207 int f( int (* foo) ); $\C{// foo is redefined as a parameter name}$
     2220int f( int (* foo) ); §\C{// foo is redefined as a parameter name}§
    22082221\end{cfa}
    22092222The string ``©int (* foo)©'' declares a C-style named-parameter of type pointer to an integer (the parenthesis are superfluous), while the same string declares a \CFA style unnamed parameter of type routine returning integer with unnamed parameter of type pointer to foo.
     
    22132226C-style declarations can be used to declare parameters for \CFA style routine definitions, \eg:
    22142227\begin{cfa}
    2215 [ int ] f( * int, int * ); $\C{// returns an integer, accepts 2 pointers to integers}$
    2216 [ * int, int * ] f( int ); $\C{// returns 2 pointers to integers, accepts an integer}$
     2228[ int ] f( * int, int * ); §\C{// returns an integer, accepts 2 pointers to integers}§
     2229[ * int, int * ] f( int ); §\C{// returns 2 pointers to integers, accepts an integer}§
    22172230\end{cfa}
    22182231The reason for allowing both declaration styles in the new context is for backwards compatibility with existing preprocessor macros that generate C-style declaration-syntax, as in:
    22192232\begin{cfa}
    22202233#define ptoa( n, d ) int (*n)[ d ]
    2221 int f( ptoa( p, 5 ) ) ... $\C{// expands to int f( int (*p)[ 5 ] )}$
    2222 [ int ] f( ptoa( p, 5 ) ) ... $\C{// expands to [ int ] f( int (*p)[ 5 ] )}$
     2234int f( ptoa( p, 5 ) ) ... §\C{// expands to int f( int (*p)[ 5 ] )}§
     2235[ int ] f( ptoa( p, 5 ) ) ... §\C{// expands to [ int ] f( int (*p)[ 5 ] )}§
    22232236\end{cfa}
    22242237Again, programmers are highly encouraged to use one declaration form or the other, rather than mixing the forms.
     
    22392252\begin{minipage}{\linewidth}
    22402253\begin{cfa}
    2241 @[ int x, int y ]@ f() {
     2254®[ int x, int y ]® f() {
    22422255        int z;
    22432256        ... x = 0; ... y = z; ...

    2254 } $\C{// implicitly return x, y}$
     2267} §\C{// implicitly return x, y}§
    22552268\end{cfa}
    22562269In this case, the current values of ©x© and ©y© are returned to the calling routine just as if a ©return© had been encountered.
     
    22612274[ int x, int y ] f( int, x, int y ) {
    22622275        ...
    2263 } $\C{// implicitly return x, y}$
     2276} §\C{// implicitly return x, y}§
    22642277\end{cfa}
    22652278This notation allows the compiler to eliminate temporary variables in nested routine calls.
    22662279\begin{cfa}
    2267 [ int x, int y ] f( int, x, int y ); $\C{// prototype declaration}$
     2280[ int x, int y ] f( int, x, int y ); §\C{// prototype declaration}§
    22682281int a, b;
    22692282[a, b] = f( f( f( a, b ) ) );
     
    22792292as well, parameter names are optional, \eg:
    22802293\begin{cfa}
    2281 [ int x ] f (); $\C{// returning int with no parameters}$
    2282 [ * int ] g (int y); $\C{// returning pointer to int with int parameter}$
    2283 [ ] h ( int, char ); $\C{// returning no result with int and char parameters}$
    2284 [ * int, int ] j ( int ); $\C{// returning pointer to int and int, with int parameter}$
     2294[ int x ] f (); §\C{// returning int with no parameters}§
     2295[ * int ] g (int y); §\C{// returning pointer to int with int parameter}§
     2296[ ] h ( int, char ); §\C{// returning no result with int and char parameters}§
     2297[ * int, int ] j ( int ); §\C{// returning pointer to int and int, with int parameter}§
    22852298\end{cfa}
    22862299This syntax allows a prototype declaration to be created by cutting and pasting source text from the routine definition header (or vice versa).
    2287 Like C, it is possible to declare multiple routine-prototypes in a single declaration, where the return type is distributed across \emph{all} routine names in the declaration list \see{\VRef{s:AlternativeDeclarations}}, \eg:
     2300Like C, it is possible to declare multiple routine-prototypes in a single declaration, where the return type is distributed across \emph{all} routine names in the declaration list (see~\VRef{s:AlternativeDeclarations}), \eg:
    22882301\begin{cfa}
    22892302C :             const double bar1(), bar2( int ), bar3( double );
    2290 $\CFA$: [const double] foo(), foo( int ), foo( double ) { return 3.0; }
     2303§\CFA§: [const double] foo(), foo( int ), foo( double ) { return 3.0; }
    22912304\end{cfa}
    22922305\CFA allows the last routine in the list to define its body.
     
    23032316The syntax for pointers to \CFA routines specifies the pointer name on the right, \eg:
    23042317\begin{cfa}
    2305 * [ int x ] () fp; $\C[2.25in]{// pointer to routine returning int with no parameters}$

    23102323While parameter names are optional, \emph{a routine name cannot be specified};
    23112324for example, the following is incorrect:
    23122325\begin{cfa}
    2313 * [ int x ] f () fp; $\C{// routine name "f" is not allowed}$
     2326* [ int x ] f () fp; §\C{// routine name "f" is not allowed}§
    23142327\end{cfa}
    23152328
     
    23342347whereas a named (keyword) call may be:
    23352348\begin{cfa}
    2336 p( z : 3, x : 4, y : 7 );  $\C{// rewrite \(\Rightarrow\) p( 4, 7, 3 )}$
     2349p( z : 3, x : 4, y : 7 );  §\C{// rewrite $\Rightarrow$ p( 4, 7, 3 )}§
    23372350\end{cfa}
    23382351Here the order of the arguments is unimportant, and the names of the parameters are used to associate argument values with the corresponding parameters.
     
    23512364For example, the following routine prototypes and definition are all valid.
    23522365\begin{cfa}
    2353 void p( int, int, int ); $\C{// equivalent prototypes}$
     2366void p( int, int, int ); §\C{// equivalent prototypes}§
    23542367void p( int x, int y, int z );
    23552368void p( int y, int x, int z );
    23562369void p( int z, int y, int x );
    2357 void p( int q, int r, int s ) {} $\C{// match with this definition}$
     2370void p( int q, int r, int s ) {} §\C{// match with this definition}§
    23582371\end{cfa}
    23592372Forcing matching parameter names in routine prototypes with corresponding routine definitions is possible, but goes against a strong tradition in C programming.
     
    23672380int f( int x, double y );
    23682381
    2369 f( j : 3, i : 4 ); $\C{// 1st f}$
    2370 f( x : 7, y : 8.1 ); $\C{// 2nd f}$
    2371 f( 4, 5 );  $\C{// ambiguous call}$
     2382f( j : 3, i : 4 ); §\C{// 1st f}§
     2383f( x : 7, y : 8.1 ); §\C{// 2nd f}§
     2384f( 4, 5 );  §\C{// ambiguous call}§
    23722385\end{cfa}
    23732386However, named arguments compound routine resolution in conjunction with conversions:
    23742387\begin{cfa}
    2375 f( i : 3, 5.7 ); $\C{// ambiguous call ?}$
     2388f( i : 3, 5.7 ); §\C{// ambiguous call ?}§
    23762389\end{cfa}
    23772390Depending on the cost associated with named arguments, this call could be resolvable or ambiguous.
     
    23872400the allowable positional calls are:
    23882401\begin{cfa}
    2389 p(); $\C{// rewrite \(\Rightarrow\) p( 1, 2, 3 )}$

    23932406// empty arguments

    2395 p( 4,  , 4 ); $\C{// rewrite \(\Rightarrow\) p( 4, 2, 4 )}$
    2396 p( 4, 4,   ); $\C{// rewrite \(\Rightarrow\) p( 4, 4, 3 )}$

    2400 p(  ,  ,   ); $\C{// rewrite \(\Rightarrow\) p( 1, 2, 3 )}$
     2407p(  , 4, 4 ); §\C{// rewrite $\Rightarrow$ p( 1, 4, 4 )}§
     2408p( 4,  , 4 ); §\C{// rewrite $\Rightarrow$ p( 4, 2, 4 )}§

     2413p(  ,  ,   ); §\C{// rewrite $\Rightarrow$ p( 1, 2, 3 )}§
    24012414\end{cfa}
    24022415Here the missing arguments are inserted from the default values in the parameter list.
     
    24222435Default values may only appear in a prototype versus definition context:
    24232436\begin{cfa}
    2424 void p( int x, int y = 2, int z = 3 ); $\C{// prototype: allowed}$
    2425 void p( int, int = 2, int = 3 ); $\C{// prototype: allowed}$
    2426 void p( int x, int y = 2, int z = 3 ) {} $\C{// definition: not allowed}$
     2437void p( int x, int y = 2, int z = 3 ); §\C{// prototype: allowed}§
     2438void p( int, int = 2, int = 3 ); §\C{// prototype: allowed}§
     2439void p( int x, int y = 2, int z = 3 ) {} §\C{// definition: not allowed}§
    24272440\end{cfa}
    24282441The reason for this restriction is to allow separate compilation.
     
    24392452\begin{cfa}
    24402453p( int x, int y, int z, ... );
    2441 p( 1, 4, 5, 6, z : 3, y : 2 ); $\C{// assume p( /* positional */, ... , /* named */ );}$
    2442 p( 1, z : 3, y : 2, 4, 5, 6 ); $\C{// assume p( /* positional */, /* named */, ... );}$
     2454p( 1, 4, 5, 6, z : 3, y : 2 ); §\C{// assume p( /* positional */, ... , /* named */ );}§
     2455p( 1, z : 3, y : 2, 4, 5, 6 ); §\C{// assume p( /* positional */, /* named */, ... );}§
    24432456\end{cfa}
    24442457In the first call, it is necessary for the programmer to conceptually rewrite the call, changing named arguments into positional, before knowing where the ellipse arguments begin.
     
    24492462\begin{cfa}
    24502463void p( int x, int y = 2, int z = 3... );
    2451 p( 1, 4, 5, 6, z : 3 ); $\C{// assume p( /* positional */, ... , /* named */ );}$
    2452 p( 1, z : 3, 4, 5, 6 ); $\C{// assume p( /* positional */, /* named */, ... );}$
     2464p( 1, 4, 5, 6, z : 3 ); §\C{// assume p( /* positional */, ... , /* named */ );}§
     2465p( 1, z : 3, 4, 5, 6 ); §\C{// assume p( /* positional */, /* named */, ... );}§
    24532466\end{cfa}
    24542467The first call is an error because arguments 4 and 5 are actually positional not ellipse arguments;
     
    24562469In the second call, the default value for y is implicitly inserted after argument 1 and the named arguments separate the positional and ellipse arguments, making it trivial to read the call.
    24572470For these reasons, \CFA requires named arguments before ellipse arguments.
    2458 Finally, while ellipse arguments are needed for a small set of existing C routines, like ©printf©, the extended \CFA type system largely eliminates the need for ellipse arguments \see{\VRef{s:Overloading}}, making much of this discussion moot.
    2459 
    2460 Default arguments and overloading \see{\VRef{s:Overloading}} are complementary.
     2471Finally, while ellipse arguments are needed for a small set of existing C routines, like printf, the extended \CFA type system largely eliminates the need for ellipse arguments (see Section 24), making much of this discussion moot.
     2472
     2473Default arguments and overloading (see Section 24) are complementary.
    24612474While in theory default arguments can be simulated with overloading, as in:
    24622475\begin{cquote}
     
    24802493Furthermore, overloading cannot handle accessing default arguments in the middle of a positional list, via a missing argument, such as:
    24812494\begin{cfa}
    2482 p( 1, /* default */, 5 ); $\C{// rewrite \(\Rightarrow\) p( 1, 2, 5 )}$

    26342647In C and \CFA, lists of elements appear in several contexts, such as the parameter list of a routine call.

    2636 f( @2, x, 3 + i@ ); $\C{// element list}$
     2649f( ®2, x, 3 + i® ); §\C{// element list}§

    26432656
    26442657In C and most programming languages, functions return at most one value;
    2645 however, many operations have multiple outcomes, some exceptional \see{\VRef{s:ExceptionHandling}}.
     2658however, many operations have multiple outcomes, some exceptional (see~\VRef{s:ExceptionHandling}).
    26462659To emulate functions with multiple return values, \emph{\Index{aggregation}} and/or \emph{\Index{aliasing}} is used.
    26472660
     
    26492662For example, consider C's \Indexc{div} function, which returns the quotient and remainder for a division of an integer value.
    26502663\begin{cfa}
    2651 typedef struct { int quot, rem; } div_t;        $\C[7cm]{// from include stdlib.h}$
     2664typedef struct { int quot, rem; } div_t;        §\C[7cm]{// from include stdlib.h}§
    26522665div_t div( int num, int den );
    2653 div_t qr = div( 13, 5 ); $\C{// return quotient/remainder aggregate}$
    2654 printf( "%d %d\n", qr.quot, qr.rem ); $\C{// print quotient/remainder}$
     2666div_t qr = div( 13, 5 ); §\C{// return quotient/remainder aggregate}§
     2667printf( "%d %d\n", qr.quot, qr.rem ); §\C{// print quotient/remainder}§
    26552668\end{cfa}
    26562669This approach requires a name for the return type and fields, where \Index{naming} is a common programming-language issue.
     
    26622675For example, consider C's \Indexc{modf} function, which returns the integral and fractional part of a floating value.
    26632676\begin{cfa}
    2664 double modf( double x, double * i ); $\C{// from include math.h}$
    2665 double intp, frac = modf( 13.5, &intp ); $\C{// return integral and fractional components}$
    2666 printf( "%g %g\n", intp, frac ); $\C{// print integral/fractional components}$
     2677double modf( double x, double * i ); §\C{// from include math.h}§
     2678double intp, frac = modf( 13.5, &intp ); §\C{// return integral and fractional components}§
     2679printf( "%g %g\n", intp, frac ); §\C{// print integral/fractional components}§
    26672680\end{cfa}
    26682681This approach requires allocating storage for the return values, which complicates the call site with a sequence of variable declarations leading to the call.
     
    26912704When a function call is passed as an argument to another call, the best match of actual arguments to formal parameters is evaluated given all possible expression interpretations in the current scope.
    26922705\begin{cfa}
    2693 void g( int, int ); $\C{// 1}$
    2694 void g( double, double ); $\C{// 2}$
    2695 g( div( 13, 5 ) ); $\C{// select 1}$
    2696 g( modf( 13.5 ) ); $\C{// select 2}$
     2706void g( int, int ); §\C{// 1}§
     2707void g( double, double ); §\C{// 2}§
     2708g( div( 13, 5 ) ); §\C{// select 1}§
     2709g( modf( 13.5 ) ); §\C{// select 2}§
    26972710\end{cfa}
    26982711In this case, there are two overloaded ©g© routines.
     
    27032716The previous examples can be rewritten passing the multiple returned-values directly to the ©printf© function call.
    27042717\begin{cfa}
    2705 [ int, int ] div( int x, int y ); $\C{// from include stdlib}$
    2706 printf( "%d %d\n", div( 13, 5 ) ); $\C{// print quotient/remainder}$
    2707 
    2708 [ double, double ] modf( double x ); $\C{// from include math}$
    2709 printf( "%g %g\n", modf( 13.5 ) ); $\C{// print integral/fractional components}$
     2718[ int, int ] div( int x, int y ); §\C{// from include stdlib}§
     2719printf( "%d %d\n", div( 13, 5 ) ); §\C{// print quotient/remainder}§
     2720
     2721[ double, double ] modf( double x ); §\C{// from include math}§
     2722printf( "%g %g\n", modf( 13.5 ) ); §\C{// print integral/fractional components}§
    27102723\end{cfa}
    27112724This approach provides the benefits of compile-time checking for appropriate return statements as in aggregation, but without the required verbosity of declaring a new named type.
     
    27172730\begin{cfa}
    27182731int quot, rem;
    2719 [ quot, rem ] = div( 13, 5 ); $\C{// assign multiple variables}$
    2720 printf( "%d %d\n", quot, rem ); $\C{// print quotient/remainder}\CRT$
     2732[ quot, rem ] = div( 13, 5 ); §\C{// assign multiple variables}§
     2733printf( "%d %d\n", quot, rem ); §\C{// print quotient/remainder}\CRT§
    27212734\end{cfa}
    27222735Here, the multiple return-values are matched in much the same way as passing multiple return-values to multiple parameters in a call.
     
    27472760In \CFA, it is possible to overcome this restriction by declaring a \newterm{tuple variable}.
    27482761\begin{cfa}
    2749 [int, int] @qr@ = div( 13, 5 ); $\C{// initialize tuple variable}$
    2750 printf( "%d %d\n", @qr@ ); $\C{// print quotient/remainder}$
     2762[int, int] ®qr® = div( 13, 5 ); §\C{// initialize tuple variable}§
     2763printf( "%d %d\n", ®qr® ); §\C{// print quotient/remainder}§
    27512764\end{cfa}
    27522765It is now possible to match the multiple return-values to a single variable, in much the same way as \Index{aggregation}.
     
    27542767One way to access the individual components of a tuple variable is with assignment.
    27552768\begin{cfa}
    2756 [ quot, rem ] = qr; $\C{// assign multiple variables}$
     2769[ quot, rem ] = qr; §\C{// assign multiple variables}§
    27572770\end{cfa}
    27582771
     
    27772790[int, double] * p;
    27782791

    27892802\subsection{Flattening and Structuring}
    2790 \label{s:FlatteningStructuring}
    27912803
    27922804As evident in previous examples, tuples in \CFA do not have a rigid structure.
     
    28492861double y;
    28502862[int, double] z;
    2851 [y, x] = 3.14; $\C{// mass assignment}$
    2852 [x, y] = z;                                                         $\C{// multiple assignment}$
    2853 z = 10;                                                         $\C{// mass assignment}$
    2854 z = [x, y]; $\C{// multiple assignment}$
     2863[y, x] = 3.14; §\C{// mass assignment}§
     2864[x, y] = z;                                                         §\C{// multiple assignment}§
     2865z = 10;                                                         §\C{// mass assignment}§
     2866z = [x, y]; §\C{// multiple assignment}§
    28552867\end{cfa}
    28562868Let $L_i$ for $i$ in $[0, n)$ represent each component of the flattened left side, $R_i$ represent each component of the flattened right side of a multiple assignment, and $R$ represent the right side of a mass assignment.
     
    28602872\begin{cfa}
    28612873[ int, int ] x, y, z;
    2862 [ x, y ] = z;                                              $\C{// multiple assignment, invalid 4 != 2}$
     2874[ x, y ] = z;                                              §\C{// multiple assignment, invalid 4 != 2}§
    28632875\end{cfa}
    28642876Multiple assignment assigns $R_i$ to $L_i$ for each $i$.
     
    28962908        double c, d;
    28972909        [ void ] f( [ int, int ] );
    2898         f( [ c, a ] = [ b, d ] = 1.5 ); $\C{// assignments in parameter list}$
     2910        f( [ c, a ] = [ b, d ] = 1.5 ); §\C{// assignments in parameter list}§
    28992911\end{cfa}
    29002912The tuple expression begins with a mass assignment of ©1.5© into ©[b, d]©, which assigns ©1.5© into ©b©, which is truncated to ©1©, and ©1.5© into ©d©, producing the tuple ©[1, 1.5]© as a result.
     
    29092921\begin{cfa}
    29102922struct S;
    2911 void ?{}(S *); $\C{// (1)}$
    2912 void ?{}(S *, int); $\C{// (2)}$
    2913 void ?{}(S * double); $\C{// (3)}$
    2914 void ?{}(S *, S); $\C{// (4)}$
    2915 
    2916 [S, S] x = [3, 6.28]; $\C{// uses (2), (3), specialized constructors}$
    2917 [S, S] y; $\C{// uses (1), (1), default constructor}$
    2918 [S, S] z = x.0; $\C{// uses (4), (4), copy constructor}$
     2923void ?{}(S *); §\C{// (1)}§
     2924void ?{}(S *, int); §\C{// (2)}§
     2925void ?{}(S * double); §\C{// (3)}§
     2926void ?{}(S *, S); §\C{// (4)}§
     2927
     2928[S, S] x = [3, 6.28]; §\C{// uses (2), (3), specialized constructors}§
     2929[S, S] y; §\C{// uses (1), (1), default constructor}§
     2930[S, S] z = x.0; §\C{// uses (4), (4), copy constructor}§
    29192931\end{cfa}
    29202932In this example, ©x© is initialized by the multiple constructor calls ©?{}(&x.0, 3)© and ©?{}(&x.1, 6.28)©, while ©y© is initialized by two default constructor calls ©?{}(&y.0)© and ©?{}(&y.1)©.
     
    29572969A member-access tuple may be used anywhere a tuple can be used, \eg:
    29582970\begin{cfa}
    2959 s.[ y, z, x ] = [ 3, 3.2, 'x' ]; $\C{// equivalent to s.x = 'x', s.y = 3, s.z = 3.2}$
    2960 f( s.[ y, z ] ); $\C{// equivalent to f( s.y, s.z )}$
     2971s.[ y, z, x ] = [ 3, 3.2, 'x' ]; §\C{// equivalent to s.x = 'x', s.y = 3, s.z = 3.2}§
     2972f( s.[ y, z ] ); §\C{// equivalent to f( s.y, s.z )}§
    29612973\end{cfa}
    29622974Note, the fields appearing in a record-field tuple may be specified in any order;
     
    29682980void f( double, long );
    29692981
    2970 f( x.[ 0, 3 ] ); $\C{// f( x.0, x.3 )}$
    2971 x.[ 0, 1 ] = x.[ 1, 0 ]; $\C{// [ x.0, x.1 ] = [ x.1, x.0 ]}$
     2982f( x.[ 0, 3 ] ); §\C{// f( x.0, x.3 )}§
     2983x.[ 0, 1 ] = x.[ 1, 0 ]; §\C{// [ x.0, x.1 ] = [ x.1, x.0 ]}§
    29722984[ long, int, long ] y = x.[ 2, 0, 2 ];
    29732985\end{cfa}
     
    29862998\begin{cfa}
    29872999[ int, float, double ] f();
    2988 [ double, float ] x = f().[ 2, 1 ]; $\C{// f() called once}$
     3000[ double, float ] x = f().[ 2, 1 ]; §\C{// f() called once}§
    29893001\end{cfa}
    29903002
     
    29993011That is, a cast can be used to select the type of an expression when it is ambiguous, as in the call to an overloaded function.
    30003012\begin{cfa}
    3001 int f(); $\C{// (1)}$
    3002 double f(); $\C{// (2)}$
    3003 
    3004 f(); $\C{// ambiguous - (1),(2) both equally viable}$
    3005 (int)f(); $\C{// choose (2)}$
     3013int f(); §\C{// (1)}§
     3014double f(); §\C{// (2)}§
     3015
     3016f(); §\C{// ambiguous - (1),(2) both equally viable}§
     3017(int)f(); §\C{// choose (2)}§
    30063018\end{cfa}
    30073019Since casting is a fundamental operation in \CFA, casts need to be given a meaningful interpretation in the context of tuples.
     
    30113023void g();
    30123024
    3013 (void)f(); $\C{// valid, ignore results}$
    3014 (int)g(); $\C{// invalid, void cannot be converted to int}$
     3025(void)f(); §\C{// valid, ignore results}§
     3026(int)g(); §\C{// invalid, void cannot be converted to int}§
    30153027

     3029(struct A)f(); §\C{// invalid, int cannot be converted to A}§
    30183030\end{cfa}
    30193031In C, line 4 is a valid cast, which calls ©f© and discards its result.

    31343146The general syntax of a lexical list is:
    31353147\begin{cfa}
    3136 [ $\emph{exprlist}$ ]
     3148[ §\emph{exprlist}§ ]
    31373149\end{cfa}
    31383150where ©$\emph{exprlist}$© is a list of one or more expressions separated by commas.
     
    31463158Tuples are permitted to contain sub-tuples (\ie nesting), such as ©[ [ 14, 21 ], 9 ]©, which is a 2-element tuple whose first element is itself a tuple.
    31473159Note, a tuple is not a record (structure);
    3148 a record denotes a single value with substructure, whereas a tuple is multiple values with no substructure \see{flattening coercion in \VRef{s:FlatteningStructuring}}.
     3160a record denotes a single value with substructure, whereas a tuple is multiple values with no substructure (see flattening coercion in Section 12.1).
    31493161In essence, tuples are largely a compile time phenomenon, having little or no runtime presence.
    31503162
     
    31543166The general syntax of a tuple type is:
    31553167\begin{cfa}
    3156 [ $\emph{typelist}$ ]
     3168[ §\emph{typelist}§ ]
    31573169\end{cfa}
    31583170where ©$\emph{typelist}$© is a list of one or more legal \CFA or C type specifications separated by commas, which may include other tuple type specifications.
     
    31613173[ unsigned int, char ]
    31623174[ double, double, double ]
    3163 [ * int, int * ] $\C{// mix of CFA and ANSI}$
     3175[ * int, int * ] §\C{// mix of CFA and ANSI}§
    31643176[ * [ 5 ] int, * * char, * [ [ int, int ] ] (int, int) ]
    31653177\end{cfa}
     
    31683180Examples of declarations using tuple types are:
    31693181\begin{cfa}
    3170 [ int, int ] x; $\C{// 2 element tuple, each element of type int}$
    3171 * [ char, char ] y; $\C{// pointer to a 2 element tuple}$
     3182[ int, int ] x; §\C{// 2 element tuple, each element of type int}§
     3183* [ char, char ] y; §\C{// pointer to a 2 element tuple}§
    31723184[ [ int, int ] ] z ([ int, int ]);
    31733185\end{cfa}
     
    31863198[ int, int ] w1;
    31873199[ int, int, int ] w2;
    3188 [ void ] f (int, int, int); $\C{// three input parameters of type int}$
    3189 [ void ] g ([ int, int, int ]); $\C{3 element tuple as input}$
     3200[ void ] f (int, int, int); §\C{// three input parameters of type int}§
     3201[ void ] g ([ int, int, int ]); §\C{3 element tuple as input}§
    31903202f( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );
    31913203f( w1, 3 );
     
    32673279[ int, int, int, int ] w = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
    32683280int x = 5;
    3269 [ x, w ] = [ w, x ]; $\C{// all four tuple coercions}$
     3281[ x, w ] = [ w, x ]; §\C{// all four tuple coercions}§
    32703282\end{cfa}
    32713283Starting on the right-hand tuple in the last assignment statement, w is opened, producing a tuple of four values;
     
    32733285This tuple is then flattened, yielding ©[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]©, which is structured into ©[ 1, [ 2, 3, 4, 5 ] ]© to match the tuple type of the left-hand side.
    32743286The tuple ©[ 2, 3, 4, 5 ]© is then closed to create a tuple value.
    3275 Finally, ©x© is assigned ©1© and ©w© is assigned the tuple value using \Index{multiple assignment} \see{\VRef{s:TupleAssignment}}.
     3287Finally, ©x© is assigned ©1© and ©w© is assigned the tuple value using multiple assignment (see Section 14).
    32763288\begin{rationale}
    32773289A possible additional language extension is to use the structuring coercion for tuples to initialize a complex record with a tuple.
     
    32843296Mass assignment has the following form:
    32853297\begin{cfa}
    3286 [ $\emph{lvalue}$, ... , $\emph{lvalue}$ ] = $\emph{expr}$;
     3298[ §\emph{lvalue}§, ... , §\emph{lvalue}§ ] = §\emph{expr}§;
    32873299\end{cfa}
    32883300\index{lvalue}
     
    33243336Multiple assignment has the following form:
    33253337\begin{cfa}
    3326 [ $\emph{lvalue}$, ... , $\emph{lvalue}$ ] = [ $\emph{expr}$, ... , $\emph{expr}$ ];
     3338[ §\emph{lvalue}§, ... , §\emph{lvalue}§ ] = [ §\emph{expr}§, ... , §\emph{expr}§ ];
    33273339\end{cfa}
    33283340\index{lvalue}
     
    33553367both these examples produce indeterminate results:
    33563368\begin{cfa}
    3357 f( x++, x++ ); $\C{// C routine call with side effects in arguments}$
    3358 [ v1, v2 ] = [ x++, x++ ]; $\C{// side effects in right-hand side of multiple assignment}$
     3369f( x++, x++ ); §\C{// C routine call with side effects in arguments}§
     3370[ v1, v2 ] = [ x++, x++ ]; §\C{// side effects in righthand side of multiple assignment}§
    33593371\end{cfa}
    33603372
     
    33653377Cascade assignment has the following form:
    33663378\begin{cfa}
    3367 $\emph{tuple}$ = $\emph{tuple}$ = ... = $\emph{tuple}$;
     3379§\emph{tuple}§ = §\emph{tuple}§ = ... = §\emph{tuple}§;
    33683380\end{cfa}
    33693381and it has the same parallel semantics as for mass and multiple assignment.

    40894102A type definition is different from a typedef in C because a typedef just creates an alias for a type,  while Do.s type definition creates a distinct type.
    4090 This means that users can define distinct function overloads for the new type \see{\VRef{s:Overloading} for more information}.

    41944207\CFA supports C initialization of structures, but it also adds constructors for more advanced initialization.
    41954208Additionally, \CFA adds destructors that are called when a variable is deallocated (variable goes out of scope or object is deleted).
    4196 These functions take a reference to the structure as a parameter \see{\VRef{s:PointerReference} for more information}.

    4247 \label{s:Overloading}
    42484260
    42494261Overloading refers to the capability of a programmer to define and use multiple objects in a program with the same name.

    42794291
    4280 \subsection{Constant}
     4292\subsection{Overloaded Constant}
    42814293
    42824294The constants 0 and 1 have special meaning.
     
    43174329
    43184330
    4319 \subsection{Variable}
    4320 \label{s:VariableOverload}
     4331\subsection{Variable Overloading}
    43214332
    43224333The overload rules of \CFA allow a programmer to define multiple variables with the same name, but different types.
     
    43614372
    43624373
    4363 \subsection{Operator}
     4374\subsection{Operator Overloading}
    43644375
    43654376\CFA also allows operators to be overloaded, to simplify the use of user-defined types.
     
    44574468For example, given
    44584469\begin{cfa}
    4459 auto j = @...@
     4470auto j = ®...®
    44604471\end{cfa}
    44614472and the need to write a routine to compute using ©j©
    44624473\begin{cfa}
    4463 void rtn( @...@ parm );
     4474void rtn( ®...® parm );

    49534964When building a \CFA module which needs to be callable from C code, users can use the tools to generate a header file suitable for including in these C files with all of the needed declarations.
    49544965
    4955 In order to interoperate with existing C code, \CFA files can still include header files, the contents of which will be enclosed in a C linkage section to indicate C calling conventions \see{\VRef{s:Interoperability} for more information}.

    62716282In \CFA, there are ambiguous cases with dereference and operator identifiers, \eg ©int *?*?()©, where the string ©*?*?© can be interpreted as:
    62726283\begin{cfa}
    6273 *?$\R{\textvisiblespace}$*? $\C{// dereference operator, dereference operator}$
    6274 *$\R{\textvisiblespace}$?*? $\C{// dereference, multiplication operator}$
     6284*?§\color{red}\textvisiblespace§*? §\C{// dereference operator, dereference operator}§
     6285*§\color{red}\textvisiblespace§?*? §\C{// dereference, multiplication operator}§
    62756286\end{cfa}
    62766287By default, the first interpretation is selected, which does not yield a meaningful parse.
     
    62816292The ambiguity occurs when the deference operator has no parameters:
    62826293\begin{cfa}
    6283 *?()$\R{\textvisiblespace...}$ ;
    6284 *?()$\R{\textvisiblespace...}$(...) ;
     6294*?()§\color{red}\textvisiblespace...§ ;
     6295*?()§\color{red}\textvisiblespace...§(...) ;
    62856296\end{cfa}
    62866297requiring arbitrary whitespace look-ahead for the routine-call parameter-list to disambiguate.
     
    62906301The remaining cases are with the increment/decrement operators and conditional expression, \eg:
    62916302\begin{cfa}
    6292 i++?$\R{\textvisiblespace...}$(...);
    6293 i?++$\R{\textvisiblespace...}$(...);
     6303i++?§\color{red}\textvisiblespace...§(...);
     6304i?++§\color{red}\textvisiblespace...§(...);
    62946305\end{cfa}
    62956306requiring arbitrary whitespace look-ahead for the operator parameter-list, even though that interpretation is an incorrect expression (juxtaposed identifiers).
    62966307Therefore, it is necessary to disambiguate these cases with a space:
    62976308\begin{cfa}
    6298 i++$\R{\textvisiblespace}$? i : 0;
    6299 i?$\R{\textvisiblespace}$++i : 0;

    64316442In C, the name of the nested types belongs to the same scope as the name of the outermost enclosing structure, \ie the nested types are hoisted to the scope of the outer-most type, which is not useful and confusing.
     
    64446455\item[Difficulty of converting:] Semantic transformation. To make the struct type name visible in the scope of the enclosing struct, the struct tag could be declared in the scope of the enclosing struct, before the enclosing struct is defined. Example:

    65766587For the prescribed head-files, \CFA uses header interposition to wraps these includes in an ©extern "C"©;
    6577 hence, names in these include files are not mangled\index{mangling!name} \see{\VRef{s:Interoperability}}.
     6588hence, names in these include files are not mangled\index{mangling!name} (see~\VRef{s:Interoperability}).
    65786589All other C header files must be explicitly wrapped in ©extern "C"© to prevent name mangling.
    65796590This approach is different from \Index*[C++]{\CC{}} where the name-mangling issue is handled internally in C header-files through checks for preprocessor variable ©__cplusplus©, which adds appropriate ©extern "C"© qualifiers.
