    161161Like \Index*[C++]{\CC{}}, there may be both an old and new ways to achieve the same effect.
    162162For example, the following programs compare the \CFA, C, and \CC I/O mechanisms, where the programs output the same result.

    194194While the \CFA I/O looks similar to the \Index*[C++]{\CC{}} output style, there are important differences, such as automatic spacing between variables as in \Index*{Python} (see~\VRef{s:IOLibrary}).

     505\section{Exponentiation Operator}
     506
     507C, \CC, and Java (and many other programming languages) have no exponentiation operator\index{exponentiation!operator}\index{operator!exponentiation}, \ie $x^y$, and instead use a routine, like \Indexc{pow}, to perform the exponentiation operation.
     508\CFA extends the basic operators with the exponentiation operator ©?\?©\index{?\\?@\lstinline$?\?$} and ©?\=?©\index{?\\=?@\lstinline$?\=?$}, as in, ©x \ y© and ©x \= y©, which means $x^y$ and $x \leftarrow x^y$.
     509The priority of the exponentiation operator is between the cast and multiplicative operators, so that ©w * (int)x \ (int)y * z© is parenthesized as ©((w * (((int)x) \ ((int)y))) * z)©.
     510
     511As for \Index{division}, there are exponentiation operators for integral and floating types, including the builtin \Index{complex} types.
     512Unsigned integral exponentiation\index{exponentiation!unsigned integral} is performed with repeated multiplication\footnote{The multiplication computation is $O(\log y)$.} (or shifting if the base is 2).
     513Signed integral exponentiation\index{exponentiation!signed integral} is performed with repeated multiplication (or shifting if the base is 2), but yields a floating result because $x^{-y}=1/x^y$.
     514Hence, it is important to designate exponent integral-constants as unsigned or signed: ©3 \ 3u© return an integral result, while ©3 \ 3© returns a floating result.
     515Floating exponentiation\index{exponentiation!floating} is performed using \Index{logarithm}s\index{exponentiation!logarithm}, so the base cannot be negative.
     516\begin{cfa}
     517sout | 2 ®\® 8u | 4 ®\® 3u | -4 ®\® 3u | 4 ®\® -3 | -4 ®\® -3 | 4.0 ®\® 2.1 | (1.0f+2.0fi) ®\® (3.0f+2.0fi) | endl;

     519\end{cfa}
     520Parenthesis are necessary for the complex constants or the expresion is parsed as ©1.0f+(2.0fi \ 3.0f)+2.0fi©.
     521The exponentiation operator is available for all the basic types, but for user-defined types, only the integral-computation versions are available.
     522For returning an integral value, the user type ©T© must define multiplication, ©*©, and one, ©1©;
     523for returning a floating value, an additional divide of type ©T© into a ©double© returning a ©double© (©double ?/?( double, T )©) is necessary for negative exponents.

    629650The ability to fall-through to the next clause \emph{is} a useful form of control flow, specifically when a sequence of case actions compound:
    630 \begin{quote2}
     651\begin{cquote}
    631652\begin{tabular}{@{}l@{\hspace{3em}}l@{}}

    656677\end{cfa}
    657678\end{tabular}
    658 \end{quote2}
     679\end{cquote}
    659680In this example, case 2 is always done if case 3 is done.
    660681This 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.
     
    730751        ®int y = 1;®                            §\C{// unreachable initialization}§
    731752        ®x = 7;®                                        §\C{// unreachable code without label/branch}§
    732   case 3: ...
     753  case 0: ...
    733754        ...
    734755        ®int z = 0;®                            §\C{// unreachable initialization, cannot appear after case}§
    735756        z = 2;
    736   case 3:
     757  case 1:
    737758        ®x = z;®                                        §\C{// without fall through, z is uninitialized}§
    738759}
     
    819840Requiring a ©case© clause for each value does not seem to be in the spirit of brevity normally associated with C.
    820841Therefore, the ©case© clause is extended with a list of values, as in:
    821 \begin{quote2}
     842\begin{cquote}
    822843\begin{tabular}{@{}l@{\hspace{3em}}l@{\hspace{2em}}l@{}}

    849870\end{cfa}
    850871\end{tabular}
    851 \end{quote2}
     872\end{cquote}
    852873In addition, two forms of subranges are allowed to specify case values: a new \CFA form and an existing GNU C form.\footnote{
    853874The GNU C form \emph{requires} spaces around the ellipse.}
    854 \begin{quote2}

    885906Lists of subranges are also allowed.

    914935\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.

     1069\label{s:AlternativeDeclarations}
    10491070
    10501071C declaration syntax is notoriously confusing and error prone.
    10511072For example, many C programmers are confused by a declaration as simple as:
    1052 \begin{quote2}
     1073\begin{cquote}
    10531074\begin{tabular}{@{}ll@{}}
    10541075\begin{cfa}
     
    10581079\raisebox{-0.75\totalheight}{\input{Cdecl}}
    10591080\end{tabular}
    1060 \end{quote2}
     1081\end{cquote}
    10611082Is this an array of 5 pointers to integers or a \Index{pointer} to an array of 5 integers?
    1062 The fact this declaration is unclear to many C programmers means there are \Index{productivity} and \Index{safety} issues even for basic programs.
     1083If there is any doubt, it implies \Index{productivity} and \Index{safety} issues even for basic programs.
    10631084Another example of confusion results from the fact that a routine name and its parameters are embedded within the return type, mimicking the way the return value is used at the routine's call site.
    10641085For example, a routine returning a \Index{pointer} to an array of integers is defined and used in the following way:
    10651086\begin{cfa}
    1066 int ®(*®f®())[®5®]® {...};                              §\C{definition}§
    1067  ... ®(*®f®())[®3®]® += 1;                              §\C{usage}§
     1087int ®(*®f®())[®5®]® {...};                              §\C{// definition}§
     1088 ... ®(*®f®())[®3®]® += 1;                              §\C{// usage}§
    10681089\end{cfa}
    10691090Essentially, the return type is wrapped around the routine name in successive layers (like an \Index{onion}).
     
    10741095In the following example, \R{red} is the base type and \B{blue} is qualifiers.
    10751096The \CFA declarations move the qualifiers to the left of the base type, \ie move the blue to the left of the red, while the qualifiers have the same meaning but are ordered left to right to specify a variable's type.
    1076 \begin{quote2}
     1097\begin{cquote}
    10771098\begin{tabular}{@{}l@{\hspace{3em}}l@{}}
    10781099\multicolumn{1}{c@{\hspace{3em}}}{\textbf{\CFA}}        & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{C}}        \\
     
    10891110\end{cfa}
    10901111\end{tabular}
    1091 \end{quote2}
     1112\end{cquote}
    10921113The only exception is \Index{bit field} specification, which always appear to the right of the base type.
    10931114% Specifically, the character ©*© is used to indicate a pointer, square brackets ©[©\,©]© are used to represent an array or function return value, and parentheses ©()© are used to indicate a routine parameter.
    10941115However, unlike C, \CFA type declaration tokens are distributed across all variables in the declaration list.
    10951116For instance, variables ©x© and ©y© of type \Index{pointer} to integer are defined in \CFA as follows:
    1096 \begin{quote2}
     1117\begin{cquote}
    10971118\begin{tabular}{@{}l@{\hspace{3em}}l@{}}
    10981119\multicolumn{1}{c@{\hspace{3em}}}{\textbf{\CFA}}        & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{C}}        \\
     
    11051126\end{cfa}
    11061127\end{tabular}
    1107 \end{quote2}
     1128\end{cquote}
    11081129The downside of this semantics is the need to separate regular and \Index{pointer} declarations:
    1109 \begin{quote2}
     1130\begin{cquote}
    11101131\begin{tabular}{@{}l@{\hspace{3em}}l@{}}
    11111132\multicolumn{1}{c@{\hspace{3em}}}{\textbf{\CFA}}        & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{C}}        \\
     
    11201141\end{cfa}
    11211142\end{tabular}
    1122 \end{quote2}
     1143\end{cquote}
    11231144which is \Index{prescribing} a safety benefit.
    11241145Other examples are:
    1125 \begin{quote2}
     1146\begin{cquote}
    11261147\begin{tabular}{@{}l@{\hspace{3em}}l@{\hspace{2em}}l@{}}

    11591180\end{cfa}
    11601181\end{tabular}
    1161 \end{quote2}
     1182\end{cquote}
    11621183
    11631184All type qualifiers, \eg ©const©, ©volatile©, etc., are used in the normal way with the new declarations and also appear left to right, \eg:
    1164 \begin{quote2}
     1185\begin{cquote}

    12211242Finally, new \CFA declarations may appear together with C declarations in the same program block, but cannot be mixed within a specific declaration.
    12221243Therefore, a programmer has the option of either continuing to use traditional C declarations or take advantage of the new style.
    1223 Clearly, both styles need to be supported for some time due to existing C-style header-files, particularly for UNIX systems.

    1226 \section{Exponentiation Operator}
    1227 
    1228 C, \CC, and Java (and many other programming languages) have no exponentiation operator\index{exponentiation!operator}\index{operator!exponentiation}, \ie $x^y$, and instead use a routine, like \Indexc{pow}, to perform the exponentiation operation.
    1229 \CFA extends the basic operators with the exponentiation operator ©?\?©\index{?\\?@\lstinline$?\?$} and ©?\=?©\index{?\\=?@\lstinline$?\=?$}, as in, ©x \ y© and ©x \= y©, which means $x^y$ and $x \leftarrow x^y$.
    1230 The priority of the exponentiation operator is between the cast and multiplicative operators, so that ©w * (int)x \ (int)y * z© is parenthesized as ©((w * (((int)x) \ ((int)y))) * z)©.
    1231 
    1232 As for \Index{division}, there are exponentiation operators for integral and floating-point types, including the builtin \Index{complex} types.
    1233 Unsigned integral exponentiation\index{exponentiation!unsigned integral} is performed with repeated multiplication\footnote{The multiplication computation is optimized to $O(\log y)$.} (or shifting if the base is 2).
    1234 Signed integral exponentiation\index{exponentiation!signed integral} is performed with repeated multiplication (or shifting if the base is 2), but yields a floating-point result because $x^{-y}=1/x^y$.
    1235 Hence, it is important to designate exponent integral-constants as unsigned or signed: ©3 \ 3u© return an integral result, while ©3 \ 3© returns a floating-point result.
    1236 Floating-point exponentiation\index{exponentiation!floating point} is performed using \Index{logarithm}s\index{exponentiation!logarithm}, so the base cannot be negative.
    1237 \begin{cfa}
    1238 sout | 2 ®\® 8u | 4 ®\® 3u | -4 ®\® 3u | 4 ®\® -3 | -4 ®\® -3 | 4.0 ®\® 2.1 | (1.0f+2.0fi) ®\® (3.0f+2.0fi) | endl;
    1239 256 64 -64 0.015625 -0.015625 18.3791736799526 0.264715-1.1922i
    1240 \end{cfa}
    1241 Parenthesis are necessary for the complex constants or the expresion is parsed as ©1.0f+(2.0fi \ 3.0f)+2.0fi©.
    1242 The exponentiation operator is available for all the basic types, but for user-defined types, only the integral-computation versions are available.
    1243 For returning an integral value, the user type ©T© must define multiplication, ©*©, and one, ©1©;
    1244 for returning a floating-point value, an additional divide of type ©T© into a ©double© returning a ©double© (©double ?/?( double, T )©) is necessary for negative exponents.
     1244Clearly, both styles need to be supported for some time due to existing C-style header-files, particularly for UNIX-like systems.

    12601260A program \newterm{object} is a region of data storage in the execution environment, the contents of which can represent values.
    12611261In most cases, objects are located in memory at an address, and the variable name for an object is an implicit address to the object generated by the compiler and automatically dereferenced, as in:
    1262 \begin{quote2}
     1262\begin{cquote}
    12631263\begin{tabular}{@{}ll@{\hspace{2em}}l@{}}
    12641264\begin{cfa}
     
    12781278\end{cfa}
    12791279\end{tabular}
    1280 \end{quote2}
     1280\end{cquote}
    12811281where the right example is how the compiler logically interprets the variables in the left example.
    12821282Since a variable name only points to one address during its lifetime, it is an \Index{immutable} \Index{pointer};
     
    12841284In general, variable addresses are stored in instructions instead of loaded from memory, and hence may not occupy storage.
    12851285These approaches are contrasted in the following:
    1286 \begin{quote2}
     1286\begin{cquote}
    12871287\begin{tabular}{@{}l|l@{}}
    12881288\multicolumn{1}{c|}{explicit variable address} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{implicit variable address} \\
     
    13021302\end{cfa}
    13031303\end{tabular}
    1304 \end{quote2}
     1304\end{cquote}
    13051305Finally, the immutable nature of a variable's address and the fact that there is no storage for the variable pointer means pointer assignment\index{pointer!assignment}\index{assignment!pointer} is impossible.
    13061306Therefore, the expression ©x = y© has only one meaning, ©*x = *y©, \ie manipulate values, which is why explicitly writing the dereferences is unnecessary even though it occurs implicitly as part of \Index{instruction decoding}.
     
    13091309(Similarly, an integer variable can contain multiple integer literals during its lifetime versus an integer constant representing a single literal during its lifetime, and like a variable name, may not occupy storage if the literal is embedded directly into instructions.)
    13101310Hence, a pointer occupies memory to store its current address, and the pointer's value is loaded by dereferencing, \eg:
    1311 \begin{quote2}
     1311\begin{cquote}
    13121312\begin{tabular}{@{}l@{\hspace{2em}}l@{}}

    1323 \end{quote2}
     1323\end{cquote}
    13241324
    13251325Notice, an address has a \Index{duality}\index{address!duality}: a location in memory or the value at that location.
     
    14261426The position of the ©const© qualifier \emph{after} the pointer/reference qualifier causes confuse for C programmers.
    14271427The ©const© qualifier cannot be moved before the pointer/reference qualifier for C style-declarations;

    18981898This syntax allows a prototype declaration to be created by cutting and pasting source text from the routine definition header (or vice versa).
    1899 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:Declarations}), \eg:

    20722072Default arguments and overloading (see Section 24) are complementary.
    20732073While in theory default arguments can be simulated with overloading, as in:
    2074 \begin{quote2}
     2074\begin{cquote}
    20752075\begin{tabular}{@{}l@{\hspace{3em}}l@{}}

     2089\end{cquote}
    20902090the number of required overloaded routines is linear in the number of default values, which is unacceptable growth.
    20912091In general, overloading should only be used over default arguments if the body of the routine is significantly different.
     
    22242224The following program in undefined in \CFA (and Indexc{gcc})
    22252225\begin{cfa}
    2226 [* [int]( int )] foo() {                §\C{// int (*foo())( int )}§
     2226[* [int]( int )] foo() {                §\C{// int (* foo())( int )}§

    22282228        int bar( int p ) {
     
    22332233}
    22342234int main() {
    2235         * [int]( int ) fp = foo();      §\C{// int (*fp)( int )}§

    22362236        sout | fp( 3 ) | endl;
    22372237}
     
    22722272In the latter approach, additional return values are passed as pointer parameters.
    22732273A pointer parameter is assigned inside the routine to emulate a return.
    2274 For example, consider C's \Indexc{modf} function, which returns the integral and fractional part of a floating-point value.

    30193019The \CFA form has half the characters of the \CC form, and is similar to \Index*{Python} I/O with respect to implicit separators.
    30203020Similar simplification occurs for \Index{tuple} I/O, which prints all tuple values separated by ``\lstinline[showspaces=true]@, @''.
     
    30283028Finally, \CFA uses the logical-or operator for I/O as it is the lowest-priority overloadable operator, other than assignment.
    30293029Therefore, fewer output expressions require parenthesis.
