    122123This document is a reference manual and rationale for \CFA, a polymorphic extension of the C programming language.
    123 It makes frequent reference to the {\c11} standard \cite{C11}, and occasionally compares \CFA to {\CC} \cite{C++}.
    124 
    125 The manual deliberately imitates the ordering of the {\c11} standard (although the section numbering differs).
    126 Unfortunately, this means the manual contains more ``forward references'' than usual, making it harder to follow if the reader does not have a copy of the {\c11} standard.
     124It covers low-level syntactic and semantic details of the language to address complex language issues for programmers, and provide language implementers with a precise language description.
     125It makes frequent reference to the \Celeven standard~\cite{C11}, and occasionally compares \CFA to \CC~\cite{C++}.
     126Changes to the syntax and additional features are expected to be included in later revisions.

    151 The syntax notation used in this document is the same as in the {\c11} standard, with one exception: ellipsis in the definition of a nonterminal, as in ``\emph{declaration:} \ldots'', indicates that these rules extend a previous definition, which occurs in this document or in the {\c11} standard.

    162165\begin{rationale}
    163166Hence, a \CFA program can declare an ©int v© and a ©float v© in the same scope;
    164 a {\CC} program can not.

    286289\begin{rationale}
    287 Note that {\c11} does not include conversion from \Index{real type}s to \Index{complex type}s in the usual arithmetic conversions, and \CFA does not include them as safe conversions.
     290Note that \Celeven does not include conversion from \Index{real type}s to \Index{complex type}s in the usual arithmetic conversions, and \CFA does not include them as safe conversions.

    289292
    … …  
    370373\begin{rationale}
    371374As in C, there is an implicit conversion from ©void *© to any pointer type.
    372 This is clearly dangerous, and {\CC} does not have this implicit conversion.
     375This is clearly dangerous, and \CC does not have this implicit conversion.
    373376\CFA\index{deficiencies!void * conversion} keeps it, in the interest of remaining as pure a superset of C as possible, but discourages it by making it unsafe.

    608611
    609612There are two notable differences between \CFA's overload resolution rules and the rules for
    610 {\CC} defined in \cite{C++}.
     613\CC defined in \cite{C++}.
    611614First, the result type of a function plays a role.
    612 In {\CC}, a function call must be completely resolved based on the arguments to the call in most circumstances.
     615In \CC, a function call must be completely resolved based on the arguments to the call in most circumstances.
    613616In \CFA, a function call may have several interpretations, each with a different result type, and the interpretations of the containing context choose among them.
    614617Second, safe conversions are used to choose among interpretations of all sorts of functions;
    615 in {\CC}, the ``usual arithmetic conversions'' are a separate set of rules that apply only to the built-in operators.
     618in \CC, the ``usual arithmetic conversions'' are a separate set of rules that apply only to the built-in operators.

    638641\begin{rationale}
    639 Expression syntax is quoted from the {\c11} standard.
     642Expression syntax is quoted from the \Celeven standard.
    640643The syntax itself defines the precedence and associativity of operators.
    641644The sections are arranged in decreasing order of precedence, with all operators in a section having the same precedence.
    … …  
    665668The \Index{valid interpretation} of an \nonterm{identifier} are given by the visible\index{visible} declarations of the identifier.
    666669
    667 A \nonterm{constant} or \nonterm{string-literal} has one valid interpretation, which has the type and value defined by {\c11}.
     670A \nonterm{constant} or \nonterm{string-literal} has one valid interpretation, which has the type and value defined by \Celeven.
    668671The predefined integer identifiers ``©1©'' and ``©0©'' have the integer values 1 and 0, respectively.
    669672The other two predefined ``©0©'' identifiers are bound to polymorphic pointer values that, when specialized\index{specialization} with a data type or function type respectively, produce a null pointer of that type.

    11131116forall( otype T ) T restrict * ?++( T restrict *restrict volatile * );
    11141117\end{lstlisting} with ©T© inferred to be ©float *©.
    1115 This looks odd, because {\c11} contains a constraint that requires restrict-qualified types to be pointer-to-object types, and ©T© is not syntactically a pointer type. \CFA loosens the constraint.
     1118This looks odd, because \Celeven contains a constraint that requires restrict-qualified types to be pointer-to-object types, and ©T© is not syntactically a pointer type. \CFA loosens the constraint.

    14771480
    14781481\begin{rationale}
    1479 {\c11} does not include conversions from the \Index{real type}s to \Index{complex type}s in the \Index{usual arithmetic conversion}s.  Instead it specifies conversion of the result of binary operations on arguments from mixed type domains. \CFA's predefined operators match that pattern.
     1482\Celeven does not include conversions from the \Index{real type}s to \Index{complex type}s in the \Index{usual arithmetic conversion}s.  Instead it specifies conversion of the result of binary operations on arguments from mixed type domains. \CFA's predefined operators match that pattern.

    … …  
    15061509
    15071510\begin{rationale}
    1508 {\c11} defines most arithmetic operations to apply an \Index{integer promotion} to any argument that belongs to a type that has an \Index{integer conversion rank} less than that of ©int©.
     1511\Celeven defines most arithmetic operations to apply an \Index{integer promotion} to any argument that belongs to a type that has an \Index{integer conversion rank} less than that of ©int©.
    15091512If ©s© is a ©short int©, ``©s *s©'' does not have type ©short int©;
    15101513it is treated as ``©( (int)s ) * ( (int)s )©'', and has type ©int©. \CFA matches that pattern;
    … …  
    15191522\end{lstlisting}
    15201523Since \CFA does not define a multiplication operator for ©short int©, ©square( s )© is treated as ©square( (int)s )©, and the result has type ©int©.
    1521 This is mildly surprising, but it follows the {\c11} operator pattern.
     1524This is mildly surprising, but it follows the \Celeven operator pattern.
    15221525
    15231526A more troubling example is
    … …  
    16171620©ptrdiff_t© is an implementation-defined identifier defined in ©<stddef.h>© that is synonymous with a signed integral type that is large enough to hold the difference between two pointers.
    16181621It seems reasonable to use it for pointer addition as well. (This is technically a difference between \CFA and C, which only specifies that pointer addition uses an \emph{integral} argument.) Hence it is also used for subscripting, which is defined in terms of pointer addition.
    1619 The {\c11} standard uses ©size_t© in several cases where a library function takes an argument that is used as a subscript, but ©size_t© is unsuitable here because it is an unsigned type.
     1622The \Celeven standard uses ©size_t© in several cases where a library function takes an argument that is used as a subscript, but ©size_t© is unsuitable here because it is an unsigned type.

    16211624
    … …  
    19301933\end{lstlisting}
    19311934The logical expression calls the ©Rational© inequality operator, passing it ©*rp© and the ©Rational 0©, and getting a 1 or 0 as a result.
    1932 In contrast, {\CC} would apply a programmer-defined ©Rational©-to-©int© conversion to ©*rp© in the equivalent situation.
     1935In contrast, \CC would apply a programmer-defined ©Rational©-to-©int© conversion to ©*rp© in the equivalent situation.
    19331936The conversion to ©int© would produce a general integer value, which is unfortunate, and possibly dangerous if the conversion was not written with this situation in mind.

    28632866A reference can be used to define an alias for a complicated lvalue expression, as a way of getting some of the functionality of the Pascal ©with© statement.

    28742877A reference parameter can be used to allow a function to modify an argument without forcing the caller to pass the address of the argument.
    28752878This is most useful for user-defined assignment operators.

    32163219The Simula class \cite{SIMULA87} is essentially a record type.
    32173220Since the only operations on a record are member selection and assignment, which can not be overloaded, there is never any ambiguity as to whether the abstraction or the implementation view is being used.
    3218 In {\CC}
     3221In \CC
    32193222\cite{C++}, operations on class instances include assignment and ``©&©'', which can be overloaded.
    32203223A ``scope resolution'' operator can be used inside the class to specify whether the abstract or implementation version of the operation should be used.

    3636 Array types can barely be said to exist in {\c11}, since in most cases an array name is treated as a constant pointer to the first element of the array, and the subscript expression ``©a[i]©'' is equivalent to the dereferencing expression ``©(*( a+( i )))©''.
     3639Array types can barely be said to exist in \Celeven, since in most cases an array name is treated as a constant pointer to the first element of the array, and the subscript expression ``©a[i]©'' is equivalent to the dereferencing expression ``©(*( a+( i )))©''.
    36373640Technically, pointer arithmetic and pointer comparisons other than ``©==©'' and ``©!=©'' are only defined for pointers to array elements, but the type system does not enforce those restrictions.
    36383641Consequently, there is no need for a separate ``array type'' specification.

    37123715Different operators often have related meanings;
    37133716for instance, in C, ``©+©'', ``©+=©'', and the two versions of ``©++©'' perform variations of addition.
    3714 Languages like {\CC} and Ada allow programmers to define operators for new types, but do not require that these relationships be preserved, or even that all of the operators be implemented.
     3717Languages like \CC and Ada allow programmers to define operators for new types, but do not require that these relationships be preserved, or even that all of the operators be implemented.
    37153718Completeness and consistency is left to the good taste and discretion of the programmer.
    37163719It is possible to encourage these attributes by providing generic operator functions, or member functions of abstract classes, that are defined in terms of other, related operators.
