+\chapter*{Introduction}\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Introduction}
+
+This document is a reference manual and rationale for \CFA, a polymorphic extension of the C
+programming language. It makes frequent reference to the {\c11} standard \cite{ANS:C11}, and
+occasionally compares \CFA to {\CC} \cite{c++}.
+
+The manual deliberately imitates the ordering of the {\c11} standard (although the section numbering
+differs). 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. For a simple
+introduction to \CFA, see the companion document ``An Overview of \CFA''
+\cite{Ditchfield96:Overview}.
+
+\begin{rationale}
+Commentary (like this) is quoted with quads. Commentary usually deals with subtle points, the
+rationale behind a rule, and design decisions.

+\section{Notation}
+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.
+
+
+\section{Concepts}
+
+
+\subsection{Scopes of identifiers}\index{scopes}
+
+\CFA's scope rules differ from C's in one major respect: a declaration of an identifier may
+overload\index{overloading} outer declarations of lexically identical identifiers in the same
+\Index{name space}, instead of hiding them. The outer declaration is hidden if the two declarations
+have \Index{compatible type}, or if one declares an array type and the other declares a pointer type
+and the element type and pointed-at type are compatible, or if one has function type and the other
+is a pointer to a compatible function type, or if one declaration is a \lstinline$type$\use{type} or
+\lstinline$typedef$\use{typedef} declaration and the other is not.  The outer declaration becomes
+\Index{visible} when the scope of the inner declaration terminates.
+\begin{rationale}
+Hence, a \CFA program can declare an \lstinline$int v$ and a \lstinline$float v$ in the same
+scope; a {\CC} program can not.
+\end{rationale}
+
+
+\subsection{Linkage of identifiers}
+\index{linkage}
+
+\CFA's linkage rules differ from C's in only one respect: instances of a particular identifier with
+external or internal linkage do not necessarily denote the same object or function. Instead, in the
+set of translation units and libraries that constitutes an entire program, any two instances of a
+particular identifier with \Index{external linkage} denote the same object or function if they have
+\Index{compatible type}s, or if one declares an array type and the other declares a pointer type and
+the element type and pointed-at type are compatible, or if one has function type and the other is a
+pointer to a compatible function type. Within one translation unit, each instance of an identifier
+with \Index{internal linkage} denotes the same object or function in the same circumstances.
+Identifiers with \Index{no linkage} always denote unique entities.
+\begin{rationale}
+A \CFA program can declare an \lstinline$extern int v$ and an \lstinline$extern float v$; a C
+program cannot.
+\end{rationale}
+
+
+\setcounter{subsection}{8}
+\subsection{Generic Types}
+
+
+\subsubsection{Semantics}
+
+\CFA provides a capability for generic types; using this capability a single "generic type
+generator" can be written that can represent multiple concrete type instantiations by substitution
+of the "type parameters" of the generic type for concrete types. Syntactically a generic type
+generator is represented by putting a forall specifier on a struct or union declaration, as defined
+in \VRef{forall}. An instantiation of the generic type is written by specifying the type parameters
+in parentheses after the name of the generic type generator:
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T | sumable( T ) ) struct pair {
+        T x;
+        T y;
+};
+pair( int ) p = { 3, 14 };
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+The type parameters in an instantiation of a generic type must satisfy any constraints in the forall
+specifier on the type generator declaration, e.g., \lstinline$sumable$. The instantiation then has
+the semantics that would result if the type parameters were substituted into the type generator
+declaration by macro substitution.
+
+Polymorphic functions may have generic types as parameters, and those generic types may use type
+parameters of the polymorphic function as type parameters of the generic type:
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T ) void swap( pair(T) *p ) {
+        T z = p->x;
+        p->x = p->y;
+        p->y = z;
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+
+\subsubsection{Constraints}
+
+To avoid unduly constraining implementors, the generic type generator definition must be visible at
+any point where it is instantiated.  Forward declarations of generic type generators are not
+forbidden, but the definition must be visible to instantiate the generic type.  Equivalently,
+instantiations of generic types are not allowed to be incomplete types.
+
+\examples
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T ) struct A;
+
+forall( type T ) struct B {
+        A(T) *a;  // legal, but cannot instantiate B(T)
+};
+
+B(T) x; // illegal, *x.a is of an incomplete generic type
+
+forall( type T ) struct A {
+        B( T ) *b;
+};
+
+B( T ) y; // legal, *x.a is now of a complete generic type
+
+
+// box.h:
+        forall( type T ) struct box;
+        forall( type T ) box( T ) *make_box( T );
+        forall( type T ) void use_box( box( T ) *b );
+        
+// main.c:
+        box( int ) *b = make_box( 42 ); // illegal, def'n of box not visible
+        use_box( b ); // illegal
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+
+\section{Conversions}
+\CFA defines situations where values of one type are automatically converted to another type.
+These conversions are called \define{implicit conversion}s. The programmer can request
+\define{explicit conversion}s using cast expressions.
+
+
+\subsection{Arithmetic operands}
+
+
+\setcounter{subsubsection}{8}
+\subsubsection{Safe arithmetic conversions}
+
+In C, a pattern of conversions known as the \define{usual arithmetic conversion}s is used with most
+binary arithmetic operators to convert the operands to a common type and determine the type of the
+operator's result. In \CFA, these conversions play a role in overload resolution, and
+collectively are called the \define{safe arithmetic conversion}s.
+
+Let \(int_r\) and \(unsigned_r\) be the signed and unsigned integer types with integer conversion
+rank\index{integer conversion rank}\index{rank|see{integer conversion rank}} $r$. Let
+\(unsigned_{mr}\) be the unsigned integer type with maximal rank.
+
+The following conversions are \emph{direct} safe arithmetic conversions.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+The \Index{integer promotion}s.
+
+\item
+For every rank $r$ greater than or equal to the rank of \lstinline$int$, conversion from \(int_r\)
+to \(unsigned_r\).
+
+\item
+For every rank $r$ greater than or equal to the rank of \lstinline$int$, where \(int_{r+1}\) exists
+and can represent all values of \(unsigned_r\), conversion from \(unsigned_r\) to \(int_{r+1}\).
+
+\item
+Conversion from \(unsigned_{mr}\) to \lstinline$float$.
+
+\item
+Conversion from an enumerated type to its compatible integer type.
+
+\item
+Conversion from \lstinline$float$ to \lstinline$double$, and from \lstinline$double$ to
+\lstinline$long double$.
+
+\item
+Conversion from \lstinline$float _Complex$ to \lstinline$double _Complex$,
+and from \lstinline$double _Complex$ to \lstinline$long double _Complex$.
+
+\begin{sloppypar}
+\item
+Conversion from \lstinline$float _Imaginary$ to \lstinline$double _Imaginary$, and from
+\lstinline$double _Imaginary$ to \lstinline$long double$ \lstinline$_Imaginary$, if the
+implementation supports imaginary types.
+\end{sloppypar}
+\end{itemize}
+
+If type \lstinline$T$ can be converted to type \lstinline$U$ by a safe direct arithmetic conversion
+and type \lstinline$U$ can be converted to type \lstinline$V$ by a safe arithmetic conversion, then
+the conversion from \lstinline$T$ to type \lstinline$V$ is an \emph{indirect} safe arithmetic
+conversion.
+
+\begin{rationale}
+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.
+\end{rationale}
+
+
+\subsection{Other operands}
+
+
+\setcounter{subsubsection}{3}
+\subsubsection{Anonymous structures and unions}
+\label{anon-conv}
+
+If an expression's type is a pointer to a structure or union type that has a member that is an
+\Index{anonymous structure} or an \Index{anonymous union}, it can be implicitly
+converted\index{implicit conversion} to a pointer to the anonymous structure's or anonymous union's
+type. The result of the conversion is a pointer to the member.
+
+\examples
+\begin{lstlisting}
+struct point {
+        int x, y;
+};
+void move_by(struct point * p1, struct point * p2) {@\impl{move_by}@
+        p1->x += p2.x;
+        p1->y += p2.y;
+}
+
+struct color_point {
+        enum { RED, BLUE, GREEN } color;
+        struct point;
+} cp1, cp2;
+move_to(&cp1, &cp2);
+\end{lstlisting}
+Thanks to implicit conversion, the two arguments that \lstinline$move_by()$ receives are pointers to
+\lstinline$cp1$'s second member and \lstinline$cp2$'s second member.
+
+
+\subsubsection{Specialization}
+A function or value whose type is polymorphic may be implicitly converted to one whose type is
+\Index{less polymorphic} by binding values to one or more of its \Index{inferred parameter}. Any
+value that is legal for the inferred parameter may be used, including other inferred parameters.
+
+If, after the inferred parameter binding, an \Index{assertion parameter} has no inferred parameters
+in its type, then an object or function must be visible at the point of the specialization that has
+the same identifier as the assertion parameter and has a type that is compatible\index{compatible
+  type} with or can be specialized to the type of the assertion parameter.  The assertion parameter
+is bound to that object or function.
+
+The type of the specialization is the type of the original with the bound inferred parameters and
+the bound assertion parameters replaced by their bound values.
+
+\examples
+The type
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T, type U ) void (*)( T, U );
+\end{lstlisting}
+can be specialized to (among other things)
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T ) void (*)( T, T );              // U bound to T 
+forall( type T ) void (*)( T, real );   // U bound to real 
+forall( type U ) void (*)( real, U );   // T bound to real 
+void f( real, real );                                   // both bound to real 
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+The type
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T | T ?+?( T, T )) T (*)( T );
+\end{lstlisting}
+can be specialized to (among other things)
+\begin{lstlisting}
+int (*)( int );                                         // T bound to int, and T ?+?(T, T ) bound to int ?+?( int, int ) 
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+
+\subsubsection{Safe conversions}
+
+A \define{direct safe conversion} is one of the following conversions:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+a direct safe arithmetic conversion;
+\item
+from any object type or incomplete type to \lstinline$void$;
+\item
+from a pointer to any non-\lstinline$void$ type to a pointer to \lstinline$void$;
+\item
+from a pointer to any type to a pointer to a more qualified version of the type\index{qualified
+type};
+\item
+from a pointer to a structure or union type to a pointer to the type of a member of the structure or
+union that is an \Index{anonymous structure} or an \Index{anonymous union};
+\item
+within the scope of an initialized \Index{type declaration}, conversions between a type and its
+implementation or between a pointer to a type and a pointer to its implementation.
+\end{itemize}
+
+Conversions that are not safe conversions are \define{unsafe conversion}s.
+\begin{rationale}
+As in C, there is an implicit conversion from \lstinline$void *$ to any pointer type. This is
+clearly dangerous, and {\CC} does not have this implicit conversion.
+\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.
+\end{rationale}
+
+
+\subsection{Conversion cost}
+
+The \define{conversion cost} of a safe\index{safe conversion}
+conversion\footnote{Unsafe\index{unsafe conversion} conversions do not have defined conversion
+costs.} is a measure of how desirable or undesirable it is. It is defined as follows.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+The cost of a conversion from any type to itself is 0.
+
+\item
+The cost of a direct safe conversion is 1.
+
+\item
+The cost of an indirect safe arithmetic conversion is the smallest number of direct conversions
+needed to make up the conversion.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\examples
+In the following, assume an implementation that does not provide any extended integer types.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+The cost of an implicit conversion from \lstinline$int$ to \lstinline$long$ is 1. The cost of an
+implicit conversion from \lstinline$long$ to \lstinline$double$ is 3, because it is defined in terms
+of conversions from \lstinline$long$ to \lstinline$unsigned long$, then to \lstinline$float$, and
+then to \lstinline$double$.
+
+\item
+If \lstinline$int$ can represent all the values of \lstinline$unsigned short$, then the cost of an
+implicit conversion from \lstinline$unsigned short$ to \lstinline$unsigned$ is 2:
+\lstinline$unsigned short$ to \lstinline$int$ to \lstinline$unsigned$. Otherwise,
+\lstinline$unsigned short$ is converted directly to \lstinline$unsigned$, and the cost is 1.
+
+\item
+If \lstinline$long$ can represent all the values of \lstinline$unsigned$, then the conversion cost
+of \lstinline$unsigned$ to \lstinline$long$ is 1. Otherwise, the conversion is an unsafe
+conversion, and its conversion cost is undefined.
+\end{itemize}
+

+
+
+\subsection{Identifiers}
+
+\CFA allows operator \Index{overloading} by associating operators with special function
+identifiers. Furthermore, the constants ``\lstinline$0$'' and ``\lstinline$1$'' have special status
+for many of C's data types (and for many programmer-defined data types as well), so \CFA treats them
+as overloadable identifiers. Programmers can use these identifiers to declare functions and objects
+that implement operators and constants for their own types.
+
+
+\setcounter{subsubsection}{2}
+\subsubsection{Constant identifiers}
+
+\begin{syntax}
+\oldlhs{identifier}
+\rhs \lstinline$0$
+\rhs \lstinline$1$
+\end{syntax}
+
+\index{constant identifiers}\index{identifiers!for constants} The tokens ``\lstinline$0$''\impl{0}
+and ``\lstinline$1$''\impl{1} are identifiers. No other tokens defined by the rules for integer
+constants are considered to be identifiers.
+\begin{rationale}
+Why ``\lstinline$0$'' and ``\lstinline$1$''? Those integers have special status in C. All scalar
+types can be incremented and decremented, which is defined in terms of adding or subtracting 1. The
+operations ``\lstinline$&&$'', ``\lstinline$||$'', and ``\lstinline$!$'' can be applied to any
+scalar arguments, and are defined in terms of comparison against 0. A \nonterm{constant-expression}
+that evaluates to 0 is effectively compatible with every pointer type.
+
+In C, the integer constants 0 and 1 suffice because the integer promotion rules can convert them to
+any arithmetic type, and the rules for pointer expressions treat constant expressions evaluating to
+0 as a special case. However, user-defined arithmetic types often need the equivalent of a 1 or 0
+for their functions or operators, polymorphic functions often need 0 and 1 constants of a type
+matching their polymorphic parameters, and user-defined pointer-like types may need a null value.
+Defining special constants for a user-defined type is more efficient than defining a conversion to
+the type from \lstinline$_Bool$.
+
+Why \emph{just} ``\lstinline$0$'' and ``\lstinline$1$''? Why not other integers? No other integers
+have special status in C. A facility that let programmers declare specific
+constants---``\lstinline$const Rational 12$'', for instance---would not be much of an improvement.
+Some facility for defining the creation of values of programmer-defined types from arbitrary integer
+tokens would be needed. The complexity of such a feature doesn't seem worth the gain.
+\end{rationale}

+\index{operator identifiers}\index{identifiers!for operators} Table \ref{opids} lists the

+that are declared with (or pointed at by function pointers that are declared with) these identifiers
+can be called by expressions that use the operator tokens and syntax, or the operator identifiers
+and ``function call'' syntax. The relationships between operators and function calls are discussed

+\caption{Operator Identifiers}
+\label{opids}
+\end{table}
+
+\begin{rationale}
+Operator identifiers are made up of the characters of the operator token, with question marks added
+to mark the positions of the arguments of operators. The question marks serve as mnemonic devices;
+programmers can not create new operators by arbitrarily mixing question marks and other
+non-alphabetic characters. Note that prefix and postfix versions of the increment and decrement
+operators are distinguished by the position of the question mark.
+\end{rationale}
+
+\begin{rationale}
+The use of ``\lstinline$?$'' in identifiers means that some C programs are not \CFA programs.  For
+instance, the sequence of characters ``\lstinline$(i < 0)?--i:i$'' is legal in a C program, but a
+\CFA compiler detects a syntax error because it treats ``\lstinline$?--$'' as an identifier, not
+as the two tokens ``\lstinline$?$'' and ``\lstinline$--$''.
+\end{rationale}
+
+\begin{rationale}
+Certain operators \emph{cannot} be defined by the programmer:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+The logical operators ``\lstinline$&&$'' and ``\lstinline$||$'', and the conditional operator
+``\lstinline$?:$''. These operators do not always evaluate their operands, and hence can not be
+properly defined by functions unless some mechanism like call-by-name is added to the language.
+Note that the definitions of ``\lstinline$&&$'' and ``\lstinline$||$'' say that they work by
+checking that their arguments are unequal to 0, so defining ``\lstinline$!=$'' and ``\lstinline$0$''
+for user-defined types is enough to allow them to be used in logical expressions.
+
+\item
+The comma operator\index{comma expression}. It is a control-flow operator like those above.
+Changing its meaning seems pointless and confusing.
+
+\item
+The ``address of'' operator. It would seem useful to define a unary ``\lstinline$&$'' operator that
+returns values of some programmer-defined pointer-like type. The problem lies with the type of the
+operator. Consider the expression ``\lstinline$p = &x$'', where \lstinline$x$ is of type
+\lstinline$T$ and \lstinline$p$ has the programmer-defined type \lstinline$T_ptr$. The expression
+might be treated as a call to the unary function ``\lstinline$&?$''. Now what is the type of the
+function's parameter? It can not be \lstinline$T$, because then \lstinline$x$ would be passed by
+value, and there is no way to create a useful pointer-like result from a value. Hence the parameter
+must have type \lstinline$T *$. But then the expression must be rewritten as ``\lstinline$p = &?( &x )$''
+---which doesn't seem like progress!
+
+The rule for address-of expressions would have to be something like ``keep applying address-of
+functions until you get one that takes a pointer argument, then use the built-in operator and
+stop''. It seems simpler to define a conversion function from \lstinline$T *$ to \lstinline$T_ptr$.
+
+\item
+The \lstinline$sizeof$ operator. It is already defined for every object type, and intimately tied
+into the language's storage allocation model. Redefining it seems pointless.
+
+\item
+The ``member of'' operators ``\lstinline$.$'' and ``\lstinline$->$''. These are not really infix
+operators, since their right ``operand'' is not a value or object.
+
+\item
+Cast operators\index{cast expression}. Anything that can be done with an explicit cast can be done
+with a function call. The difference in syntax is small.
+\end{itemize}
+\end{rationale}
+
+
+\section{Expressions}
+
+\CFA allows operators and identifiers to be overloaded. Hence, each expression can have a number
+of \define{interpretation}s, each of which has a different type. The interpretations that are
+potentially executable are called \define{valid interpretation}s. The set of interpretations
+depends on the kind of expression and on the interpretations of the subexpressions that it contains.
+The rules for determining the valid interpretations of an expression are discussed below for each
+kind of expression. Eventually the context of the outermost expression chooses one interpretation
+of that expression.
+
+An \define{ambiguous interpretation} is an interpretation which does not specify the exact object or
+function denoted by every identifier in the expression. An expression can have some interpretations
+that are ambiguous and others that are unambiguous. An expression that is chosen to be executed
+shall not be ambiguous.
+
+The \define{best valid interpretations} are the valid interpretations that use the fewest
+unsafe\index{unsafe conversion} conversions. Of these, the best are those where the functions and
+objects involved are the least polymorphic\index{less polymorphic}. Of these, the best have the
+lowest total \Index{conversion cost}, including all implicit conversions in the argument
+expressions. Of these, the best have the highest total conversion cost for the implicit conversions
+(if any) applied to the argument expressions. If there is no single best valid interpretation, or if
+the best valid interpretation is ambiguous, then the resulting interpretation is
+ambiguous\index{ambiguous interpretation}.
+
+\begin{rationale}
+\CFA's rules for selecting the best interpretation are designed to allow overload resolution to
+mimic C's operator semantics. In C, the ``usual arithmetic conversions'' are applied to the
+operands of binary operators if necessary to convert the operands to types with a common real type.
+In \CFA, those conversions are ``safe''. The ``fewest unsafe conversions'' rule ensures that the
+usual conversions are done, if possible. The ``lowest total expression cost'' rule chooses the
+proper common type. The odd-looking ``highest argument conversion cost'' rule ensures that, when
+unary expressions must be converted, conversions of function results are preferred to conversion of
+function arguments: \lstinline$(double)-i$ will be preferred to \lstinline$-(double)i$.
+
+The ``least polymorphic'' rule reduces the number of polymorphic function calls, since such
+functions are presumably more expensive than monomorphic functions and since the more specific
+function is presumably more appropriate. It also gives preference to monomorphic values (such as the
+\lstinline$int$ \lstinline$0$) over polymorphic values (such as the \Index{null pointer}
+\lstinline$0$\use{0}). However, interpretations that call polymorphic functions are preferred to
+interpretations that perform unsafe conversions, because those conversions potentially lose accuracy
+or violate strong typing.
+
+There are two notable differences between \CFA's overload resolution rules and the rules for
+{\CC} defined in \cite{c++}. First, the result type of a function plays a role. In {\CC}, a
+function call must be completely resolved based on the arguments to the call in most circumstances.
+In \CFA, a function call may have several interpretations, each with a different result type, and
+the interpretations of the containing context choose among them. Second, safe conversions are used
+to choose among interpretations of all sorts of functions; in {\CC}, the ``usual arithmetic
+conversions'' are a separate set of rules that apply only to the built-in operators.
+\end{rationale}
+
+Expressions involving certain operators\index{operator identifiers} are considered to be equivalent
+to function calls. A transformation from ``operator'' syntax to ``function call'' syntax is defined
+by \define{rewrite rules}. Each operator has a set of predefined functions that overload its
+identifier. Overload resolution determines which member of the set is executed in a given
+expression. The functions have \Index{internal linkage} and are implicitly declared with \Index{file
+scope}. The predefined functions and rewrite rules are discussed below for each of these
+operators.
+\begin{rationale}
+Predefined functions and constants have internal linkage because that simplifies optimization in
+traditional compile-and-link environments. For instance, ``\lstinline$an_int + an_int$'' is
+equivalent to ``\lstinline$?+?(an_int, an_int)$''. If integer addition has not been redefined in
+the current scope, a compiler can generate code to perform the addition directly. If predefined
+functions had external linkage, this optimization would be difficult.
+\end{rationale}
+
+\begin{rationale}
+Since each subsection describes the interpretations of an expression in terms of the interpretations
+of its subexpressions, this chapter can be taken as describing an overload resolution algorithm that
+uses one bottom-up pass over an expression tree. Such an algorithm was first described (for Ada) by
+Baker~\cite{Bak:overload}. It is extended here to handle polymorphic functions and arithmetic
+conversions. The overload resolution rules and the predefined functions have been chosen so that, in
+programs that do not introduce overloaded declarations, expressions will have the same meaning in C
+and in \CFA.
+\end{rationale}
+
+\begin{rationale}
+Expression syntax is quoted from the {\c11} standard. The syntax itself defines the precedence and
+associativity of operators. The sections are arranged in decreasing order of precedence, with all
+operators in a section having the same precedence.
+\end{rationale}
+

+\subsection{Primary expressions}
+
+\begin{syntax}
+\lhs{primary-expression}
+\rhs \nonterm{identifier}

+const int 0;@\use{0}@
+forall( dtype DT ) DT *const 0;
+forall( ftype FT ) FT *const 0;
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+\semantics
+The \Index{valid interpretation} of an \nonterm{identifier} are given by the visible\index{visible}
+declarations of the identifier.
+
+A \nonterm{constant} or \nonterm{string-literal} has one valid interpretation, which has the type
+and value defined by {\c11}. The predefined integer identifiers ``\lstinline$1$'' and
+``\lstinline$0$'' have the integer values 1 and 0, respectively. The other two predefined
+``\lstinline$0$'' 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.
+
+A parenthesised expression has the same interpretations as the contained \nonterm{expression}.
+
+\examples
+The expression \lstinline$(void *)0$\use{0} specializes the (polymorphic) null pointer to a null
+pointer to \lstinline$void$. \lstinline$(const void *)0$ does the same, and also uses a safe
+conversion from \lstinline$void *$ to \lstinline$const void *$. In each case, the null pointer
+conversion is better\index{best valid interpretations} than the unsafe conversion of the integer
+\lstinline$0$ to a pointer.
+
+\begin{rationale}
+Note that the predefined identifiers have addresses.
+
+\CFA does not have C's concept of ``null pointer constants'', which are not typed values but
+special strings of tokens. The C token ``\lstinline$0$'' is an expression of type \lstinline$int$
+with the value ``zero'', and it \emph{also} is a null pointer constant. Similarly,
+``\lstinline$(void *)0$ is an expression of type \lstinline$(void *)$ whose value is a null pointer,
+and it also is a null pointer constant. However, in C, ``\lstinline$(void *)(void *)0$'' is
+\emph{not} a null pointer constant, even though it is null-valued, a pointer, and constant! The
+semantics of C expressions contain many special cases to deal with subexpressions that are null
+pointer constants.
+
+\CFA handles these cases through overload resolution. The declaration
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( dtype DT ) DT *const 0;
+\end{lstlisting}
+means that \lstinline$0$ is a polymorphic object, and contains a value that can have \emph{any}
+pointer-to-object type or pointer-to-incomplete type. The only such value is the null pointer.
+Therefore the type \emph{alone} is enough to identify a null pointer. Where C defines an operator
+with a special case for the null pointer constant, \CFA defines predefined functions with a
+polymorphic object parameter.
+\end{rationale}
+
+
+\subsubsection{Generic selection}
+
+\constraints The best interpretation of the controlling expression shall be
+unambiguous\index{ambiguous interpretation}, and shall have type compatible with at most one of the
+types named in its generic association list. If a generic selection has no \lstinline$default$
+generic association, the best interpretation of its controlling expression shall have type
+compatible with exactly one of the types named in its generic association list.
+
+\semantics
+A generic selection has the same interpretations as its result expression.

+forall( type T ) lvalue _Atomic const restrict volatile T ?[?]( _Atomic const restrict volatile T *, ptrdiff_t );
+\end{lstlisting}
+\semantics
+The interpretations of subscript expressions are the interpretations of the corresponding function
+call expressions.
+\begin{rationale}
+C defines subscripting as pointer arithmetic in a way that makes \lstinline$a[i]$ and
+\lstinline$i[a]$ equivalent. \CFA provides the equivalence through a rewrite rule to reduce the
+number of overloadings of \lstinline$?[?]$.
+
+Subscript expressions are rewritten as function calls that pass the first parameter by value. This
+is somewhat unfortunate, since array-like types tend to be large. The alternative is to use the
+rewrite rule ``\lstinline$a[b]$ \rewrite \lstinline$?[?](&(a), b)$''. However, C semantics forbid
+this approach: the \lstinline$a$ in ``\lstinline$a[b]$'' can be an arbitrary pointer value, which
+does not have an address.
+
+The repetitive form of the predefined identifiers shows up a deficiency\index{deficiencies!pointers
+ to qualified types} of \CFA's type system. Type qualifiers are not included in type values, so
+polymorphic functions that take pointers to arbitrary types often come in one flavor for each
+possible qualification of the pointed-at type.
+\end{rationale}
+
+
+\subsubsection{Function calls}
+
+\semantics
+A \define{function designator} is an interpretation of an expression that has function type. The
+\nonterm{postfix-expression} in a function call may have some interpretations that are function
+designators and some that are not.
+
+For those interpretations of the \nonterm{postfix-expression} that are not function designators, the
+expression is rewritten and becomes a call of a function named ``\lstinline$?()$''. The valid
+interpretations of the rewritten expression are determined in the manner described below.
+
+Each combination of function designators and argument interpretations is considered. For those
+interpretations of the \nonterm{postfix-expression} that are \Index{monomorphic function}
+designators, the combination has a \Index{valid interpretation} if the function designator accepts
+the number of arguments given, and each argument interpretation matches the corresponding explicit
+parameter:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+if the argument corresponds to a parameter in the function designator's prototype, the argument
+interpretation must have the same type as the corresponding parameter, or be implicitly convertible
+to the parameter's type
+\item
+if the function designator's type does not include a prototype or if the argument corresponds to
+``\lstinline$...$'' in a prototype, a \Index{default argument promotion} is applied to it.
+\end{itemize}
+The type of the valid interpretation is the return type of the function designator.
+
+For those combinations where the interpretation of the \nonterm{postfix-expression} is a
+\Index{polymorphic function} designator and the function designator accepts the number of arguments
+given, there shall be at least one set of \define{implicit argument}s for the implicit parameters
+such that
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+If the declaration of the implicit parameter uses \Index{type-class} \lstinline$type$\use{type}, the
+implicit argument must be an object type; if it uses \lstinline$dtype$, the implicit argument must
+be an object type or an incomplete type; and if it uses \lstinline$ftype$, the implicit argument
+must be a function type.
+
+\item
+if an explicit parameter's type uses any implicit parameters, then the corresponding explicit
+argument must have a type that is (or can be safely converted\index{safe conversion} to) the type
+produced by substituting the implicit arguments for the implicit parameters in the explicit
+parameter type.
+
+\item
+the remaining explicit arguments must match the remaining explicit parameters, as described for
+monomorphic function designators.
+
+\item
+for each \Index{assertion parameter} in the function designator's type, there must be an object or
+function with the same identifier that is visible at the call site and whose type is compatible with
+or can be specialized to the type of the assertion declaration.
+\end{itemize}
+There is a valid interpretation for each such set of implicit parameters. The type of each valid
+interpretation is the return type of the function designator with implicit parameter values
+substituted for the implicit arguments.
+
+A valid interpretation is ambiguous\index{ambiguous interpretation} if the function designator or
+any of the argument interpretations is ambiguous.
+
+Every valid interpretation whose return type is not compatible with any other valid interpretation's
+return type is an interpretation of the function call expression.
+
+Every set of valid interpretations that have mutually compatible\index{compatible type} result types
+also produces an interpretation of the function call expression. The type of the interpretation is
+the \Index{composite type} of the types of the valid interpretations, and the value of the
+interpretation is that of the \Index{best valid interpretation}.
+\begin{rationale}
+One desirable property of a polymorphic programming language is \define{generalizability}: the
+ability to replace an abstraction with a more general but equivalent abstraction without requiring
+changes in any of the uses of the original\cite{Cormack90}. For instance, it should be possible to
+replace a function ``\lstinline$int f( int );$'' with ``\lstinline$forall( type T ) T f( T );$''
+without affecting any calls of \lstinline$f$.
+
+\CFA\index{deficiencies!generalizability} does not fully possess this property, because
+\Index{unsafe conversion} are not done when arguments are passed to polymorphic parameters.
+Consider
+\begin{lstlisting}
+float g( float, float );
+int i;
+float f;
+double d;
+f = g( f, f );  // (1) 
+f = g( i, f );  // (2) (safe conversion to float) 
+f = g( d, f );  // (3) (unsafe conversion to float) 
+\end{lstlisting}
+If \lstinline$g$ was replaced by ``\lstinline$forall( type T ) T g( T, T );$'', the first and second
+calls would be unaffected, but the third would change: \lstinline$f$ would be converted to
+\lstinline$double$, and the result would be a \lstinline$double$.
+
+Another example is the function ``\lstinline$void h( int *);$''. This function can be passed a
+\lstinline$void *$ argument, but the generalization ``\lstinline$forall( type T ) void h( T *);$''
+can not. In this case, \lstinline$void$ is not a valid value for \lstinline$T$ because it is not an
+object type. If unsafe conversions were allowed, \lstinline$T$ could be inferred to be \emph{any}
+object type, which is undesirable.
+\end{rationale}
+
+\examples
+A function called ``\lstinline$?()$'' might be part of a numerical differentiation package.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+extern type Derivative;
+extern double ?()( Derivative, double );
+extern Derivative derivative_of( double (*f)( double ) );
+extern double sin( double );
+
+Derivative sin_dx = derivative_of( sin );
+double d;
+d = sin_dx( 12.9 );
+\end{lstlisting}
+Here, the only interpretation of \lstinline$sin_dx$ is as an object of type \lstinline$Derivative$.
+For that interpretation, the function call is treated as ``\lstinline$?()( sin_dx, 12.9 )$''.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+int f( long );          // (1) 
+int f( int, int );      // (2) 
+int f( int *);          // (3) 
+
+int i = f( 5 );         // calls (1) 
+\end{lstlisting}
+Function (1) provides a valid interpretation of ``\lstinline$f( 5 )$'', using an implicit
+\lstinline$int$ to \lstinline$long$ conversion. The other functions do not, since the second
+requires two arguments, and since there is no implicit conversion from \lstinline$int$ to
+\lstinline$int *$ that could be used with the third function.
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T ) T h( T );
+double d = h( 1.5 );
+\end{lstlisting}
+``\lstinline$1.5$'' is a \lstinline$double$ constant, so \lstinline$T$ is inferred to be
+\lstinline$double$, and the result of the function call is a \lstinline$double$.
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T, type U ) void g( T, U );        // (4) 
+forall( type T ) void g( T, T );                        // (5) 
+forall( type T ) void g( T, long );                     // (6) 
+void g( long, long );                                           // (7) 
+double d;
+int i;
+int *p;
+
+g( d, d );                      // calls (5) 
+g( d, i );                      // calls (6) 
+g( i, i );                      // calls (7) 
+g( i, p );                      // calls (4) 
+\end{lstlisting}
+The first call has valid interpretations for all four versions of \lstinline$g$. (6) and (7) are
+discarded because they involve unsafe \lstinline$double$-to-\lstinline$long$ conversions. (5) is
+chosen because it is less polymorphic than (4).
+
+For the second call, (7) is again discarded. Of the remaining interpretations for (4), (5), and (6)
+(with \lstinline$i$ converted to \lstinline$long$), (6) is chosen because it is the least
+polymorphic.
+
+The third call has valid interpretations for all of the functions; (7) is chosen since it is not
+polymorphic at all.
+
+The fourth call has no interpretation for (5), because its arguments must have compatible type. (4)
+is chosen because it does not involve unsafe conversions.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T ) T min( T, T );
+double max( double, double );
+context min_max( T ) {@\impl{min_max}@
+        T min( T, T );
+        T max( T, T );
+}
+forall( type U | min_max( U ) ) void shuffle( U, U );
+shuffle(9, 10);
+\end{lstlisting}
+The only possibility for \lstinline$U$ is \lstinline$double$, because that is the type used in the
+only visible \lstinline$max$ function. 9 and 10 must be converted to \lstinline$double$, and
+\lstinline$min$ must be specialized with \lstinline$T$ bound to \lstinline$double$.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+extern void q( int );           // (8) 
+extern void q( void * );        // (9) 
+extern void r();
+q( 0 );
+r( 0 );
+\end{lstlisting}
+The \lstinline$int 0$ could be passed to (8), or the \lstinline$(void *)$ \Index{specialization} of
+the null pointer\index{null pointer} \lstinline$0$\use{0} could be passed to (9). The former is
+chosen because the \lstinline$int$ \lstinline$0$ is \Index{less polymorphic}. For
+the same reason, \lstinline$int$ \lstinline$0$ is passed to \lstinline$r()$, even though it has
+\emph{no} declared parameter types.
+
+
+\subsubsection{Structure and union members}
+
+\semantics In the member selection expression ``\lstinline$s$.\lstinline$m$'', there shall be at
+least one interpretation of \lstinline$s$ whose type is a structure type or union type containing a
+member named \lstinline$m$. If two or more interpretations of \lstinline$s$ have members named
+\lstinline$m$ with mutually compatible types, then the expression has an \Index{ambiguous
+interpretation} whose type is the composite type of the types of the members. If an interpretation
+of \lstinline$s$ has a member \lstinline$m$ whose type is not compatible with any other
+\lstinline$s$'s \lstinline$m$, then the expression has an interpretation with the member's type. The
+expression has no other interpretations.
+
+The expression ``\lstinline$p->m$'' has the same interpretations as the expression
+``\lstinline$(*p).m$''.

+\begin{rationale}
+Note that ``\lstinline$++$'' and ``\lstinline$--$'' are rewritten as function calls that are given a
+pointer to that operand. (This is true of all operators that modify an operand.) As Hamish Macdonald
+has pointed out, this forces the modified operand of such expressions to be an lvalue. This
+partially enforces the C semantic rule that such operands must be \emph{modifiable} lvalues.
+\end{rationale}
+
+\begin{rationale}
+In C, a semantic rule requires that pointer operands of increment and decrement be pointers to
+object types. Hence, \lstinline$void *$ objects cannot be incremented. In \CFA, the restriction
+follows from the use of a \lstinline$type$ parameter in the predefined function definitions, as
+opposed to \lstinline$dtype$, since only object types can be inferred arguments corresponding to the
+type parameter \lstinline$T$.
+\end{rationale}
+
+\semantics
+First, each interpretation of the operand of an increment or decrement expression is considered
+separately. For each interpretation that is a bit-field or is declared with the
+\lstinline$register$\index{register@{\lstinline$register$}} \index{Itorage-class specifier}, the
+expression has one valid interpretation, with the type of the operand, and the expression is
+ambiguous if the operand is.
+
+For the remaining interpretations, the expression is rewritten, and the interpretations of the
+expression are the interpretations of the corresponding function call. Finally, all interpretations
+of the expression produced for the different interpretations of the operand are combined to produce
+the interpretations of the expression as a whole; where interpretations have compatible result
+types, the best interpretations are selected in the manner described for function call expressions.
+
+\examples
+\begin{lstlisting}
+volatile short int vs;  vs++; // rewritten as ?++( &(vs) )
+short int s;                    s++;
+const short int cs;             cs++;
+_Atomic short int as;   as++;
+\end{lstlisting}
+\begin{sloppypar}
+Since \lstinline$&(vs)$ has type \lstinline$volatile short int *$, the best valid interpretation of
+\lstinline$vs++$ calls the \lstinline$?++$ function with the \lstinline$volatile short *$ parameter.
+\lstinline$s++$ does the same, applying the safe conversion from \lstinline$short int *$ to
+\lstinline$volatile short int *$. Note that there is no conversion that adds an \lstinline$_Atomic$
+qualifier, so the \lstinline$_Atomic volatile short int$ overloading does not provide a valid
+interpretation.
+\end{sloppypar}
+
+There is no safe conversion from \lstinline$const short int *$ to \lstinline$volatile short int *$,
+and no \lstinline$?++$ function that accepts a \lstinline$const *$ parameter, so \lstinline$cs++$
+has no valid interpretations.
+
+The best valid interpretation of \lstinline$as++$ calls the \lstinline$short ?++$ function with the
+\lstinline$_Atomic volatile short int *$ parameter, applying a safe conversion to add the
+\lstinline$volatile$ qualifier.
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+char * const restrict volatile * restrict volatile pqpc; pqpc++
+char * * restrict volatile ppc; ppc++; 
+\end{lstlisting}
+Since \lstinline$&(pqpc)$ has type \lstinline$char * const restrict volatile * restrict volatile *$,
+the best valid interpretation of \lstinline$pqpc++$ calls the polymorphic \lstinline$?++$ function
+with the \lstinline$const restrict volatile T * restrict volatile *$ parameter, inferring
+\lstinline$T$ to be \lstinline$char *$.
+
+\begin{sloppypar}
+\lstinline$ppc++$ calls the same function, again inferring \lstinline$T$ to be \lstinline$char *$,
+and using the safe conversions from \lstinline$T$ to \lstinline$T const restrict volatile$.
+\end{sloppypar}
+
+\begin{rationale}
+Increment and decrement expressions show up a deficiency of \CFA's type system. There is no such
+thing as a pointer to a register object or bit-field\index{deficiencies!pointers to bit-fields}.
+Therefore, there is no way to define a function that alters them, and hence no way to define
+increment and decrement functions for them. As a result, the semantics of increment and decrement
+expressions must treat them specially. This holds true for all of the operators that may modify
+such objects.
+\end{rationale}
+
+\begin{rationale}
+The polymorphic overloadings for pointer increment and decrement can be understood by considering
+increasingly complex types.
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item
+``\lstinline$char * p; p++;$''. The argument to \lstinline$?++$ has type \lstinline$char * *$, and
+the result has type \lstinline$char *$. The expression would be valid if \lstinline$?++$ were
+declared by
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T ) T * ?++( T * * );
+\end{lstlisting}
+with \lstinline$T$ inferred to be \lstinline$char$.
+
+\item
+``\lstinline$char *restrict volatile qp; qp++$''. The result again has type \lstinline$char *$, but
+the argument now has type \lstinline$char *restrict volatile *$, so it cannot be passed to the
+hypothetical function declared in point 1. Hence the actual predefined function is
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T ) T * ?++( T * restrict volatile * );
+\end{lstlisting}
+which also accepts a \lstinline$char * *$ argument, because of the safe conversions that add
+\lstinline$volatile$ and \lstinline$restrict$ qualifiers. (The parameter is not const-qualified, so
+constant pointers cannot be incremented.)
+
+\item
+``\lstinline$char *_Atomic ap; ap++$''. The result again has type \lstinline$char *$, but no safe
+conversion adds an \lstinline$_Atomic$ qualifier, so the function in point 2 is not applicable. A
+separate overloading of \lstinline$?++$ is required.
+
+\item
+``\lstinline$char const volatile * pq; pq++$''. Here the result has type
+\lstinline$char const volatile *$, so a new overloading is needed:
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T ) T const volatile * ?++( T const volatile *restrict volatile * );
+\end{lstlisting}
+One overloading is needed for each combination of qualifiers in the pointed-at
+type\index{deficiencies!pointers to qualified types}.
+ 
+\item
+``\lstinline$float *restrict * prp; prp++$''. The \lstinline$restrict$ qualifier is handled just
+like \lstinline$const$ and \lstinline$volatile$ in the previous case:
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T ) T restrict * ?++( T restrict *restrict volatile * );
+\end{lstlisting}
+with \lstinline$T$ inferred to be \lstinline$float *$. This looks odd, because {\c11} contains a
+constraint that requires restrict-qualified types to be pointer-to-object types, and \lstinline$T$
+is not syntactically a pointer type. \CFA loosens the constraint.

+{\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 \lstinline$int$.If
+\lstinline$s$ is a \lstinline$short int$, ``\lstinline$s *s$'' does not have type \lstinline$short int$;
+it is treated as ``\lstinline$( (int)s ) * ( (int)s )$'', and has type \lstinline$int$. \CFA matches
+that pattern; it does not predefine ``\lstinline$short ?*?( short, short )$''.
+
+These ``missing'' operators limit polymorphism. Consider
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T | T ?*?( T, T ) ) T square( T );
+short s;
+square( s );
+\end{lstlisting}
+Since \CFA does not define a multiplication operator for \lstinline$short int$,
+\lstinline$square( s )$ is treated as \lstinline$square( (int)s )$, and the result has type
+\lstinline$int$. This is mildly surprising, but it follows the {\c11} operator pattern.
+
+A more troubling example is
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T | ?*?( T, T ) ) T product( T[], int n );
+short sa[5];
+product( sa, 5);
+\end{lstlisting}
+This has no valid interpretations, because \CFA has no conversion from ``array of
+\lstinline$short int$'' to ``array of \lstinline$int$''. The alternatives in such situations
+include
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+Defining monomorphic overloadings of \lstinline$product$ for \lstinline$short$ and the other
+``small'' types.
+\item
+Defining ``\lstinline$short ?*?( short, short )$'' within the scope containing the call to
+\lstinline$product$.

+\semantics
+Each interpretation of the left operand of an assignment expression is considered separately. For
+each interpretation that is a bit-field or is declared with the \lstinline$register$ storage class
+specifier, the expression has one valid interpretation, with the type of the left operand. The
+right operand is cast to that type, and the assignment expression is ambiguous if either operand is.
+For the remaining interpretations, the expression is rewritten, and the interpretations of the
+assignment expression are the interpretations of the corresponding function call. Finally, all
+interpretations of the expression produced for the different interpretations of the left operand are
+combined to produce the interpretations of the expression as a whole; where interpretations have
+compatible result types, the best interpretations are selected in the manner described for function
+call expressions.

+\begin{comment}
+\constraints
+If the \nonterm{declaration-specifiers} of a declaration that contains a \nonterm{forall-specifier}
+declares a structure or union tag, the types of the members of the structure or union shall not use
+any of the type identifiers declared by the \nonterm{type-parameter-list}.
+\begin{rationale}
+This sort of declaration is illegal because the scope of the type identifiers ends at the end of the
+declaration, but the scope of the structure tag does not.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T ) struct Pair { T a, b; } mkPair( T, T ); // illegal 
+\end{lstlisting}
+If an instance of \lstinline$struct Pair$ was declared later in the current scope, what would the
+members' type be?
+\end{rationale}
+\end{comment}
+
+\semantics
+The \nonterm{type-parameter-list}s and assertions of the \nonterm{forall-specifier}s declare type
+identifiers, function and object identifiers with \Index{no linkage}.
+
+If, in the declaration ``\lstinline$T D$'', \lstinline$T$ contains \nonterm{forall-specifier}s and
+\lstinline$D$ has the form
+\begin{lstlisting}
+D( @\normalsize\nonterm{parameter-type-list}@ )
+\end{lstlisting}
+then a type identifier declared by one of the \nonterm{forall-specifier}s is an \define{inferred
+parameter} of the function declarator if and only if it is not an inferred parameter of a function
+declarator in \lstinline$D$, and it is used in the type of a parameter in the following
+\nonterm{type-parameter-list} or it and an inferred parameter are used as arguments of a
+\Index{specification} in one of the \nonterm{forall-specifier}s. The identifiers declared by
+assertions that use an inferred parameter of a function declarator are \Index{assertion parameter}s
+of that function declarator.
+
+\begin{comment}
+\begin{rationale}
+Since every inferred parameter is used by some parameter, inference can be understood as a single
+bottom-up pass over the expression tree, that only needs to apply local reasoning at each node.
+
+If this restriction were lifted, it would be possible to write
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T ) T * alloc( void );@\use{alloc}@
+int *p = alloc();
+\end{lstlisting}
+Here \lstinline$alloc()$ would receive \lstinline$int$ as an inferred argument, and return an
+\lstinline$int *$. In general, if a call to \lstinline$alloc()$ is a subexpression of an expression
+involving polymorphic functions and overloaded identifiers, there could be considerable distance
+between the call and the subexpression that causes \lstinline$T$ to be bound.
+
+With the current restriction, \lstinline$alloc()$ must be given an argument that determines
+\lstinline$T$:
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T ) T * alloc( T initial_value );@\use{alloc}@
+\end{lstlisting}
+\end{rationale}
+\end{comment}
+
+If a function declarator is part of a function definition, its inferred parameters and assertion
+parameters have \Index{block scope}; otherwise, identifiers declared by assertions have a
+\define{declaration scope}, which terminates at the end of the \nonterm{declaration}.
+
+A function type that has at least one inferred parameter is a \define{polymorphic function} type.
+Function types with no inferred parameters are \define{monomorphic function} types. One function
+type is \define{less polymorphic} than another if it has fewer inferred parameters, or if it has the
+same number of inferred parameters and fewer of its explicit parameters have types that depend on an
+inferred parameter.
+
+The names of inferred parameters and the order of identifiers in forall specifiers are not relevant
+to polymorphic function type compatibility. Let $f$ and $g$ be two polymorphic function types with
+the same number of inferred parameters, and let $f_i$ and $g_i$ be the inferred parameters of $f$
+and $g$ in their order of occurance in the function types' \nonterm{parameter-type-list}s. Let $f'$
+be $f$ with every occurrence of $f_i$ replaced by $g_i$, for all $i$. Then $f$ and $g$ are
+\Index{compatible type}s if $f'$'s and $g$'s return types and parameter lists are compatible, and if
+for every assertion parameter of $f'$ there is an assertion parameter in $g$ with the same
+identifier and compatible type, and vice versa.
+
+\examples
+Consider these analogous monomorphic and polymorphic declarations.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+int fi( int );
+forall( type T ) T fT( T );
+\end{lstlisting}
+\lstinline$fi()$ takes an \lstinline$int$ and returns an \lstinline$int$. \lstinline$fT()$ takes a
+\lstinline$T$ and returns a \lstinline$T$, for any type \lstinline$T$.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+int (*pfi )( int ) = fi;
+forall( type T ) T (*pfT )( T ) = fT;
+\end{lstlisting}
+\lstinline$pfi$ and \lstinline$pfT$ are pointers to functions. \lstinline$pfT$ is not
+polymorphic, but the function it points at is.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+int (*fvpfi( void ))( int ) {
+        return pfi;
+}
+forall( type T ) T (*fvpfT( void ))( T ) {
+        return pfT;
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+\lstinline$fvpfi()$ and \lstinline$fvpfT()$ are functions taking no arguments and returning pointers
+to functions. \lstinline$fvpfT()$ is monomorphic, but the function that its return value points
+at is polymorphic.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T ) int ( *fTpfi( T ) )( int );
+forall( type T ) T ( *fTpfT( T ) )( T );
+forall( type T, type U ) U ( *fTpfU( T ) )( U );
+\end{lstlisting}
+\lstinline$fTpfi()$ is a polymorphic function that returns a pointer to a monomorphic function
+taking an integer and returning an integer. It could return \lstinline$pfi$. \lstinline$fTpfT()$
+is subtle: it is a polymorphic function returning a \emph{monomorphic} function taking and returning
+\lstinline$T$, where \lstinline$T$ is an inferred parameter of \lstinline$fTpfT()$. For instance,
+in the expression ``\lstinline$fTpfT(17)$'', \lstinline$T$ is inferred to be \lstinline$int$, and
+the returned value would have type \lstinline$int ( * )( int )$. ``\lstinline$fTpfT(17)(13)$'' and
+``\lstinline$fTpfT("yes")("no")$'' are legal, but ``\lstinline$fTpfT(17)("no")$'' is illegal.
+\lstinline$fTpfU()$ is polymorphic ( in type \lstinline$T$), and returns a pointer to a function that
+is polymorphic ( in type \lstinline$U$). ``\lstinline$f5(17)("no")$'' is a legal expression of type
+\lstinline$char *$.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type T, type U, type V ) U * f( T *, U, V * const );
+forall( type U, type V, type W ) U * g( V *, U, W * const );
+\end{lstlisting}
+The functions \lstinline$f()$ and \lstinline$g()$ have compatible types. Let \(f\) and \(g\) be
+their types; then \(f_1\) = \lstinline$T$, \(f_2\) = \lstinline$U$, \(f_3\) = \lstinline$V$, \(g_1\)
+= \lstinline$V$, \(g_2\) = \lstinline$U$, and \(g_3\) = \lstinline$W$. Replacing every \(f_i\)
+by \(g_i\) in \(f\) gives
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( type V, type U, type W ) U * f( V *, U, W * const );
+\end{lstlisting}
+which has a return type and parameter list that is compatible with \(g\).
+\begin{rationale}
+The word ``\lstinline$type$'' in a forall specifier is redundant at the moment, but I want to leave
+room for inferred parameters of ordinary types in case parameterized types get added one day.
+
+Even without parameterized types, I might try to allow
+\begin{lstlisting}
+forall( int n ) int sum( int vector[n] );
+\end{lstlisting}
+but C currently rewrites array parameters as pointer parameters, so the effects of such a change
+require more thought.
+\end{rationale}
+
+\begin{rationale}
+A polymorphic declaration must do two things: it must introduce type parameters, and it must apply
+assertions to those types. Adding this to existing C declaration syntax and semantics was delicate,
+and not entirely successful.
+
+C depends on declaration-before-use, so a forall specifier must introduce type names before they can
+be used in the declaration specifiers. This could be done by making the forall specifier part of
+the declaration specifiers, or by making it a new introductory clause of declarations.
+
+Assertions are also part of polymorphic function types, because it must be clear which functions
+have access to the assertion parameters declared by the assertions. All attempts to put assertions
+inside an introductory clause produced complex semantics and confusing code. Building them into the
+declaration specifiers could be done by placing them in the function's parameter list, or in a
+forall specifier that is a declaration specifier. Assertions are also used with type parameters of
+specifications, and by type declarations. For consistency's sake it seems best to attach assertions
+to the type declarations in forall specifiers, which means that forall specifiers must be
+declaration specifiers.

+\subsection{Type qualifiers}

+\CFA defines a new type qualifier \lstinline$lvalue$\impl{lvalue}\index{lvalue}.
+\begin{syntax}
+\oldlhs{type-qualifier}
+\rhs \lstinline$lvalue$
+\end{syntax}
+
+\constraints
+\lstinline$restrict$\index{register@{\lstinline$restrict$}} Types other than type parameters and
+pointer types whose referenced type is an object type shall not be restrict-qualified.
+
+\semantics
+An object's type may be a restrict-qualified type parameter. \lstinline$restrict$ does not
+establish any special semantics in that case.
+
+\begin{rationale}
+\CFA loosens the constraint on the restrict qualifier so that restrict-qualified pointers may be
+passed to polymorphic functions.
+\end{rationale}
+
+\lstinline$lvalue$ may be used to qualify the return type of a function type. Let \lstinline$T$ be
+an unqualified version of a type; then the result of calling a function with return type
+\lstinline$lvalue T$ is a \Index{modifiable lvalue} of type \lstinline$T$.
+\lstinline$const$\use{const} and \lstinline$volatile$\use{volatile} qualifiers may also be added to
+indicate that the function result is a constant or volatile lvalue.
+\begin{rationale}
+The \lstinline$const$ and \lstinline$volatile$ qualifiers can only be sensibly used to qualify the
+return type of a function if the \lstinline$lvalue$ qualifier is also used.
+\end{rationale}
+
+An {lvalue}-qualified type may be used in a \Index{cast expression} if the operand is an lvalue; the
+result of the expression is an lvalue.
+
+\begin{rationale}
+\lstinline$lvalue$ provides some of the functionality of {\CC}'s ``\lstinline$T&$'' ( reference to
+object of type \lstinline$T$) type. Reference types have four uses in {\CC}.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+They are necessary for user-defined operators that return lvalues, such as ``subscript'' and
+``dereference''.
+
+\item
+A 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 \lstinline$with$ statement. The following {\CC} code gives
+an example.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+{
+        char &code = long_name.some_field[i].data->code;
+        code = toupper( code );
+}
+\end{lstlisting}

+A reference parameter can be used to allow a function to modify an argument without forcing the
+caller to pass the address of the argument. This is most useful for user-defined assignment
+operators. In {\CC}, plain assignment is done by a function called ``\lstinline$operator=$'', and
+the two expressions
+\begin{lstlisting}
+a = b;
+operator=( a, b );
+\end{lstlisting}
+are equivalent. If \lstinline$a$ and \lstinline$b$ are of type \lstinline$T$, then the first
+parameter of \lstinline$operator=$ must have type ``\lstinline$T&$''. It cannot have type
+\lstinline$T$, because then assignment couldn't alter the variable, and it can't have type
+``\lstinline$T *$'', because the assignment would have to be written ``\lstinline$&a = b;$''.
+
+In the case of user-defined operators, this could just as well be handled by using pointer types and
+by changing the rewrite rules so that ``\lstinline$a = b;$'' is equivalent to
+``\lstinline$operator=(&( a), b )$''. Reference parameters of ``normal'' functions are Bad Things,
+because they remove a useful property of C function calls: an argument can only be modified by a
+function if it is preceded by ``\lstinline$&$''.
+
+\item
+References to \Index{const-qualified} types can be used instead of value parameters.  Given the
+{\CC} function call ``\lstinline$fiddle( a_thing )$'', where the type of \lstinline$a_thing$ is
+\lstinline$Thing$, the type of \lstinline$fiddle$ could be either of
+\begin{lstlisting}
+void fiddle( Thing );
+void fiddle( const Thing & );
+\end{lstlisting}
+If the second form is used, then constructors and destructors are not invoked to create a temporary
+variable at the call site ( and it is bad style for the caller to make any assumptions about such
+things), and within \lstinline$fiddle$ the parameter is subject to the usual problems caused by
+aliases. The reference form might be chosen for efficiency's sake if \lstinline$Thing$s are too
+large or their constructors or destructors are too expensive. An implementation may switch between
+them without causing trouble for well-behaved clients. This leaves the implementor to define ``too
+large'' and ``too expensive''.
+
+I propose to push this job onto the compiler by allowing it to implement
+\begin{lstlisting}
+void fiddle( const volatile Thing );
+\end{lstlisting}
+with call-by-reference. Since it knows all about the size of \lstinline$Thing$s and the parameter
+passing mechanism, it should be able to come up with a better definition of ``too large'', and may
+be able to make a good guess at ``too expensive''.
+\end{itemize}
+
+In summary, since references are only really necessary for returning lvalues, I'll only provide
+lvalue functions.

+\constraints
+If a type declaration has block scope, and the declared identifier has external or internal linkage,
+the declaration shall have no initializer for the identifier.
+
+\semantics
+A \nonterm{type-parameter} or a \nonterm{type-declarator} declares an identifier to be a \Index{type
+name} for a type incompatible with all other types.
+
+An identifier declared by a \nonterm{type-parameter} has \Index{no linkage}. Identifiers declared
+with type-class \lstinline$type$\use{type} are \Index{object type}s; those declared with type-class
+\lstinline$dtype$\use{dtype} are \Index{incomplete type}s; and those declared with type-class
+\lstinline$ftype$\use{ftype} are \Index{function type}s. The identifier has \Index{block scope} that
+terminates at the end of the \nonterm{spec-declaration-list} or polymorphic function that contains
+the \nonterm{type-parameter}.
+
+A \nonterm{type-declarator} with an \Index{initializer} is a \define{type definition}.  The declared
+identifier is an \Index{incomplete type} within the initializer, and an \Index{object type} after
+the end of the initializer. The type in the initializer is called the \define{implementation
+  type}. Within the scope of the declaration, \Index{implicit conversion}s can be performed between
+the defined type and the implementation type, and between pointers to the defined type and pointers
+to the implementation type.
+
+A type declaration without an \Index{initializer} and without a \Index{storage-class specifier} or
+with storage-class specifier \lstinline$static$\use{static} defines an \Index{incomplete type}. If a
+\Index{translation unit} or \Index{block} contains one or more such declarations for an identifier,
+it must contain exactly one definition of the identifier ( but not in an enclosed block, which would
+define a new type known only within that block).
+\begin{rationale}
+Incomplete type declarations allow compact mutually-recursive types.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+type t1; // Incomplete type declaration. 
+type t2 = struct { t1 * p; ... };
+type t1 = struct { t2 * p; ... };
+\end{lstlisting}
+Without them, mutual recursion could be handled by declaring mutually recursive structures, then
+initializing the types to those structures.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+struct s1;
+type t2 = struct s2 { struct s1 * p; ... };
+type t1 = struct s1 { struct s2 * p; ... };
+\end{lstlisting}
+This introduces extra names, and may force the programmer to cast between the types and their
+implementations.
+\end{rationale}
+
+A type declaration without an initializer and with \Index{storage-class specifier}
+\lstinline$extern$\use{extern} is an \define{opaque type declaration}. Opaque types are
+\Index{object type}s. An opaque type is not a \nonterm{constant-expression}; neither is a structure
+or union that has a member whose type is not a \nonterm{constant-expression}.  Every other
+\Index{object type} is a \nonterm{constant-expression}. Objects with static storage duration shall
+be declared with a type that is a \nonterm{constant-expression}.
+\begin{rationale}
+Type declarations can declare identifiers with external linkage, whereas typedef declarations
+declare identifiers that only exist within a translation unit. These opaque types can be used in
+declarations, but the implementation of the type is not visible.
+
+Static objects can not have opaque types because space for them would have to be allocated at
+program start-up. This is a deficiency\index{deficiencies!static opaque objects}, but I don't want
+to deal with ``module initialization'' code just now.
+\end{rationale}
+
+An \Index{incomplete type} which is not a qualified version\index{qualified type} of a type is a
+value of \Index{type-class} \lstinline$dtype$. An object type\index{object types} which is not a
+qualified version of a type is a value of type-classes \lstinline$type$ and \lstinline$dtype$. A
+\Index{function type} is a value of type-class \lstinline$ftype$.
+\begin{rationale}
+Syntactically, a type value is a \nonterm{type-name}, which is a declaration for an object which
+omits the identifier being declared.
+
+Object types are precisely the types that can be instantiated. Type qualifiers are not included in
+type values because the compiler needs the information they provide at compile time to detect
+illegal statements or to produce efficient machine instructions. For instance, the code that a
+compiler must generate to manipulate an object that has volatile-qualified type may be different
+from the code to manipulate an ordinary object.
+
+Type qualifiers are a weak point of C's type system. Consider the standard library function
+\lstinline$strchr()$ which, given a string and a character, returns a pointer to the first
+occurrence of the character in the string.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+char *strchr( const char *s, int c ) {@\impl{strchr}@
+        char real_c = c; // done because c was declared as int. 
+        for ( ; *s != real_c; s++ )
+         if ( *s == '\0' ) return NULL;
+        return ( char * )s;
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+The parameter \lstinline$s$ must be \lstinline$const char *$, because \lstinline$strchr()$ might be
+used to search a constant string, but the return type must be \lstinline$char *$, because the result
+might be used to modify a non-constant string. Hence the body must perform a cast, and ( even worse)
+\lstinline$strchr()$ provides a type-safe way to attempt to modify constant strings. What is needed
+is some way to say that \lstinline$s$'s type might contain qualifiers, and the result type has
+exactly the same qualifiers. Polymorphic functions do not provide a fix for this
+deficiency\index{deficiencies!pointers to qualified types}, because type qualifiers are not part of
+type values. Instead, overloading can be used to define \lstinline$strchr()$ for each combination
+of qualifiers.
+\end{rationale}
+
+\begin{rationale}
+Since \Index{incomplete type}s are not type values, they can not be used as the initializer in a
+type declaration, or as the type of a structure or union member. This prevents the declaration of
+types that contain each other.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+type t1;
+type t2 = t1; // illegal: incomplete type t1. 
+type t1 = t2;
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+The initializer in a file-scope declaration must be a constant expression. This means type
+declarations can not build on opaque types, which is a deficiency\index{deficiencies!nesting opaque
+ types}.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+extern type Huge; // extended-precision integer type. 
+type Rational = struct {
+        Huge numerator, denominator;    // illegal 
+};
+struct Pair {
+        Huge first, second;                             // legal 
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+Without this restriction, \CFA might require ``module initialization'' code ( since
+\lstinline$Rational$ has external linkage, it must be created before any other translation unit
+instantiates it), and would force an ordering on the initialization of the translation unit that
+defines \lstinline$Huge$ and the translation that declares \lstinline$Rational$.
+
+A benefit of the restriction is that it prevents the declaration in separate translation units of
+types that contain each other, which would be hard to prevent otherwise.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+//  File a.c:
+        extern type t1;
+        type t2 = struct { t1 f1; ... } // illegal 
+//  File b.c:
+        extern type t2;
+        type t1 = struct { t2 f2; ... } // illegal 
+\end{lstlisting}
+\end{rationale}
+
+\begin{rationale}
+Since a \nonterm{type-declaration} is a \nonterm{declaration} and not a
+\nonterm{struct-declaration}, type declarations can not be structure members. The form of
+\nonterm{type-declaration} forbids arrays of, pointers to, and functions returning \lstinline$type$.
+Hence the syntax of \nonterm{type-specifier} does not have to be extended to allow type-valued
+expressions. It also side-steps the problem of type-valued expressions producing different values
+in different declarations.
+
+Since a type declaration is not a \nonterm{parameter-declaration}, functions can not have explicit
+type parameters. This may be too restrictive, but it attempts to make compilation simpler. Recall
+that when traditional C scanners read in an identifier, they look it up in the symbol table to
+determine whether or not it is a typedef name, and return a ``type'' or ``identifier'' token
+depending on what they find. A type parameter would add a type name to the current scope. The
+scope manipulations involved in parsing the declaration of a function that takes function pointer
+parameters and returns a function pointer may just be too complicated.
+
+Explicit type parameters don't seem to be very useful, anyway, because their scope would not include
+the return type of the function. Consider the following attempt to define a type-safe memory
+allocation function.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+#include <stdlib.h>
+T * new( type T ) { return ( T * )malloc( sizeof( T) ); };
+@\ldots@
+int * ip = new( int );
+\end{lstlisting}
+This looks sensible, but \CFA's declaration-before-use rules mean that ``\lstinline$T$'' in the
+function body refers to the parameter, but the ``\lstinline$T$'' in the return type refers to the
+meaning of \lstinline$T$ in the scope that contains \lstinline$new$; it could be undefined, or a
+type name, or a function or variable name. Nothing good can result from such a situation.
+\end{rationale}
+
+\examples
+Since type declarations create new types, instances of types are always passed by value.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+type A1 = int[2];
+void f1( A1 a ) { a[0] = 0; };
+typedef int A2[2];
+void f2( A2 a ) { a[0] = 0; };
+A1 v1;
+A2 v2;
+f1( v1 );
+f2( v2 );
+\end{lstlisting}
+\lstinline$V1$ is passed by value, so \lstinline$f1()$'s assignment to \lstinline$a[0]$ does not
+modify v1.  \lstinline$V2$ is converted to a pointer, so \lstinline$f2()$ modifies
+\lstinline$v2[0]$.
+
+A translation unit containing the declarations
+\begin{lstlisting}
+extern type Complex;@\use{Complex}@ // opaque type declaration. 
+extern float abs( Complex );@\use{abs}@
+\end{lstlisting}
+can contain declarations of complex numbers, which can be passed to \lstinline$abs$. Some other
+translation unit must implement \lstinline$Complex$ and \lstinline$abs$. That unit might contain
+the declarations
+\begin{lstlisting}
+type Complex = struct { float re, im; };@\impl{Complex}@
+Complex cplx_i = { 0.0, 1.0 };@\impl{cplx_i}@
+float abs( Complex c ) {@\impl{abs( Complex )}@
+        return sqrt( c.re * c.re + c.im * c.im );
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+Note that \lstinline$c$ is implicitly converted to a \lstinline$struct$ so that its components can
+be retrieved.
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+type Time_of_day = int;@\impl{Time_of_day}@ // seconds since midnight. 
+Time_of_day ?+?( Time_of_day t1, int seconds ) {@\impl{?+?}@
+        return (( int)t1 + seconds ) % 86400;
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+\lstinline$t1$ must be cast to its implementation type to prevent infinite recursion.
+
+\begin{rationale}
+Within the scope of a type definition, an instance of the type can be viewed as having that type or
+as having the implementation type. In the \lstinline$Time_of_day$ example, the difference is
+important. Different languages have treated the distinction between the abstraction and the
+implementation in different ways.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+Inside a Clu cluster \cite{clu}, the declaration of an instance states which view applies. Two
+primitives called \lstinline$up$ and \lstinline$down$ can be used to convert between the views.
+\item
+The Simula class \cite{Simula87} is essentially a record type. Since 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. In {\CC}
+\cite{c++}, operations on class instances include assignment and ``\lstinline$&$'', which can be
+overloaded. A ``scope resolution'' operator can be used inside the class to specify whether the
+abstract or implementation version of the operation should be used.
+\item
+An Ada derived type definition \cite{ada} creates a new type from an old type, and also implicitly
+declares derived subprograms that correspond to the existing subprograms that use the old type as a
+parameter type or result type. The derived subprograms are clones of the existing subprograms with
+the old type replaced by the derived type. Literals and aggregates of the old type are also cloned.
+In other words, the abstract view provides exactly the same operations as the implementation view.
+This allows the abstract view to be used in all cases.
+
+The derived subprograms can be replaced by programmer-specified subprograms. This is an exception
+to the normal scope rules, which forbid duplicate definitions of a subprogram in a scope. In this
+case, explicit conversions between the derived type and the old type can be used.
+\end{itemize}
+\CFA's rules are like Clu's, except that implicit conversions and
+conversion costs allow it to do away with most uses of \lstinline$up$ and \lstinline$down$. 
+\end{rationale}
+
+
+\subsubsection{Default functions and objects}
+
+A declaration\index{type declaration} of a type identifier \lstinline$T$ with type-class
+\lstinline$type$ implicitly declares a \define{default assignment} function
+\lstinline$T ?=?( T *, T )$\use{?=?}, with the same \Index{scope} and \Index{linkage} as the
+identifier \lstinline$T$.
+\begin{rationale}
+Assignment is central to C's imperative programming style, and every existing C object type has
+assignment defined for it ( except for array types, which are treated as pointer types for purposes
+of assignment). Without this rule, nearly every inferred type parameter would need an accompanying
+assignment assertion parameter. If a type parameter should not have an assignment operation,
+\lstinline$dtype$ should be used. If a type should not have assignment defined, the user can define
+an assignment function that causes a run-time error, or provide an external declaration but no
+definition and thus cause a link-time error.
+\end{rationale}
+
+A definition\index{type definition} of a type identifier \lstinline$T$ with \Index{implementation
+type} \lstinline$I$ and type-class \lstinline$type$ implicitly defines a default assignment
+function. A definition\index{type definition} of a type identifier \lstinline$T$ with implementation
+type \lstinline$I$ and an assertion list implicitly defines \define{default function}s and
+\define{default object}s as declared by the assertion declarations. The default objects and
+functions have the same \Index{scope} and \Index{linkage} as the identifier \lstinline$T$. Their
+values are determined as follows:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+If at the definition of \lstinline$T$ there is visible a declaration of an object with the same name
+as the default object, and if the type of that object with all occurrence of \lstinline$I$ replaced
+by \lstinline$T$ is compatible with the type of the default object, then the default object is
+initialized with that object. Otherwise the scope of the declaration of \lstinline$T$ must contain
+a definition of the default object.
+
+\item 
+If at the definition of \lstinline$T$ there is visible a declaration of a function with the same
+name as the default function, and if the type of that function with all occurrence of \lstinline$I$
+replaced by \lstinline$T$ is compatible with the type of the default function, then the default
+function calls that function after converting its arguments and returns the converted result.
+
+Otherwise, if \lstinline$I$ contains exactly one anonymous member\index{anonymous member} such that
+at the definition of \lstinline$T$ there is visible a declaration of a function with the same name
+as the default function, and the type of that function with all occurrences of the anonymous
+member's type in its parameter list replaced by \lstinline$T$ is compatible with the type of the
+default function, then the default function calls that function after converting its arguments and
+returns the result.
+
+Otherwise the scope of the declaration of \lstinline$T$ must contain a definition of the default
+function.
+\end{itemize}
+\begin{rationale}
+Note that a pointer to a default function will not compare as equal to a pointer to the inherited
+function.
+\end{rationale}
+
+A function or object with the same type and name as a default function or object that is declared
+within the scope of the definition of \lstinline$T$ replaces the default function or object.
+
+\examples
+\begin{lstlisting}
+context s( type T ) {
+        T a, b;
+}
+struct impl { int left, right; } a = { 0, 0 };
+type Pair | s( Pair ) = struct impl;
+Pair b = { 1, 1 };
+\end{lstlisting}
+The definition of \lstinline$Pair$ implicitly defines two objects \lstinline$a$ and \lstinline$b$.
+\lstinline$Pair a$ inherits its value from the \lstinline$struct impl a$. The definition of
+\lstinline$Pair b$ is compulsory because there is no \lstinline$struct impl b$ to construct a value
+from.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+context ss( type T ) {
+        T clone( T );
+        void munge( T * );
+}
+type Whatsit | ss( Whatsit );@\use{Whatsit}@

+        Whatsit; // anonymous member 
+        int extra;
+};
+Doodad clone( Doodad ) { ... }
+\end{lstlisting}
+The definition of \lstinline$Doodad$ implicitly defines three functions:
+\begin{lstlisting}
+Doodad ?=?( Doodad *, Doodad );
+Doodad clone( Doodad );
+void munge( Doodad * );
+\end{lstlisting}
+The assignment function inherits \lstinline$struct doodad$'s assignment function because the types
+match when \lstinline$struct doodad$ is replaced by \lstinline$Doodad$ throughout.
+\lstinline$munge()$ inherits \lstinline$Whatsit$'s \lstinline$munge()$ because the types match when
+\lstinline$Whatsit$ is replaced by \lstinline$Doodad$ in the parameter list. \lstinline$clone()$
+does \emph{not} inherit \lstinline$Whatsit$'s \lstinline$clone()$: replacement in the parameter
+list yields ``\lstinline$Whatsit clone( Doodad )$'', which is not compatible with
+\lstinline$Doodad$'s \lstinline$clone()$'s type. Hence the definition of
+``\lstinline$Doodad clone( Doodad )$'' is necessary.
+
+Default functions and objects are subject to the normal scope rules.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+type T = @\ldots@;

+functions. It \emph{encapsulates} a data structure; it defines a \emph{subtype} relationship, whereby
+instances of one class may be used in contexts that require instances of another; and it allows one
+class to \emph{inherit} the implementation of another.
+
+In \CFA, encapsulation is provided by opaque types and the scope rules, and subtyping is provided
+by specifications and assertions. Inheritance is provided by default functions and objects.

+selection shall be a single unambiguous \Index{interpretation}.

+case 1, 2, 3, 4, 5:
+case 1~5:
+\end{lstlisting}
+Multiple subranges are allowed:
+\begin{lstlisting}
+case 1~4, 9~14, 27~32:
+\end{lstlisting}
+The \lstinline$case$ and \lstinline$default$ clauses are restricted within the \lstinline$switch$ and \lstinline$choose$ statements, precluding Duff's device.
+
+
+\subsection{Expression and null statements}
+
+The expression in an expression statement is treated as being cast to \lstinline$void$.
+
+
+\subsection{Selection statements}
+
+\begin{syntax}
+\oldlhs{selection-statement}
+\rhs \lstinline$choose$ \lstinline$($ \nonterm{expression} \lstinline$)$ \nonterm{statement}
+\end{syntax}
+
+The controlling expression \lstinline$E$ in the \lstinline$switch$ and \lstinline$choose$ statement:
+\begin{lstlisting}
+switch ( E ) ...
+choose ( E ) ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+may have more than one interpretation, but it shall have only one interpretation with an integral type.
+An \Index{integer promotion} is performed on the expression if necessary.
+The constant expressions in \lstinline$case$ statements with the switch are converted to the promoted type.
+
+
+\setcounter{subsubsection}{3}
+\subsubsection{The \lstinline$choose$ statement}
+
+The \lstinline$choose$ statement is the same as the \lstinline$switch$ statement except control transfers to the end of the \lstinline$choose$ statement at a \lstinline$case$ or \lstinline$default$ labeled statement.
+The \lstinline$fallthru$ statement is used to fall through to the next \lstinline$case$ or \lstinline$default$ labeled statement.
+The following have identical meaning:
+\begin{flushleft}
+\begin{tabular}{@{\hspace{2em}}l@{\hspace{2em}}l@{}}
+\begin{lstlisting}
+switch (...) {
+  case 1: ... ; break;
+  case 2: ... ; break;
+  case 3: ... ; // fall through
+  case 4: ... ; // fall through
+  default: ... break;
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+&
+\begin{lstlisting}
+choose (...) {
+  case 1: ... ; // exit

+  case 3: ... ; fallthru;
+  case 4: ... ; fallthru;
+  default: ... ; // exit
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+\end{tabular}
+\end{flushleft}
+The \lstinline$choose$ statement addresses the problem of accidental fall-through associated with the \lstinline$switch$ statement.
+
+
+\subsection{Iteration statements}
+
+The controlling expression \lstinline$E$ in the loops
+\begin{lstlisting}
+if ( E ) ...
+while ( E ) ...
+do ... while ( E );
+\end{lstlisting}
+is treated as ``\lstinline$( int )((E)!=0)$''.
+
+The statement 
+\begin{lstlisting}
+for ( a; b; c ) @\ldots@
+\end{lstlisting}
+is treated as
+\begin{lstlisting}
+for ( ( void )( a ); ( int )(( b )!=0); ( void )( c ) ) ...
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+
+\subsection{Jump statements}

+\lhs{at-expression} \lstinline$_At$ \nonterm{assignment-expression}
+\end{syntax}
+
+Labeled \lstinline$continue$ and \lstinline$break$ allow useful but restricted control-flow that reduces the need for the \lstinline$goto$ statement for exiting multiple nested control-structures.

+\chapter{Examples}
+
+
+\section{C types}
+This section gives example specifications for some groups of types that are important in the C
+language, in terms of the predefined operations that can be applied to those types.
+
+
+\subsection{Scalar, arithmetic, and integral types}
+
+The pointer, integral, and floating-point types are all \define{scalar types}. All of these types
+can be logically negated and compared. The assertion ``\lstinline$scalar( Complex )$'' should be read
+as ``type \lstinline$Complex$ is scalar''.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+context scalar( type T ) {@\impl{scalar}@
+        int !?( T );
+        int ?<?( T, T ), ?<=?( T, T ), ?==?( T, T ), ?>=?( T, T ), ?>?( T, T ), ?!=?( T, T );
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+The integral and floating-point types are \define{arithmetic types}, which support the basic
+arithmetic operators. The use of an assertion in the \nonterm{spec-parameter-list} declares that,
+in order to be arithmetic, a type must also be scalar ( and hence that scalar operations are
+available ). This is equivalent to inheritance of specifications.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+context arithmetic( type T | scalar( T ) ) {@\impl{arithmetic}@@\use{scalar}@
+        T +?( T ), -?( T );
+        T ?*?( T, T ), ?/?( T, T ), ?+?( T, T ), ?-?( T, T );
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+The various flavors of \lstinline$char$ and \lstinline$int$ and the enumerated types make up the
+\define{integral types}.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+context integral( type T | arithmetic( T ) ) {@\impl{integral}@@\use{arithmetic}@
+        T ~?( T );
+        T ?&?( T, T ), ?|?( T, T ), ?^?( T, T );
+        T ?%?( T, T );
+        T ?<<?( T, T ), ?>>?( T, T );
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+
+\subsection{Modifiable types}
+\index{modifiable lvalue}
+
+The only operation that can be applied to all modifiable lvalues is simple assignment.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+context m_lvalue( type T ) {@\impl{m_lvalue}@
+        T ?=?( T *, T );
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+Modifiable scalar lvalues are scalars and are modifiable lvalues, and assertions in the
+\nonterm{spec-parameter-list} reflect those relationships. This is equivalent to multiple
+inheritance of specifications. Scalars can also be incremented and decremented.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+context m_l_scalar( type T | scalar( T ) | m_lvalue( T ) ) {@\impl{m_l_scalar}@
+        T ?++( T * ), ?--( T * );@\use{scalar}@@\use{m_lvalue}@
+        T ++?( T * ), --?( T * );
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+Modifiable arithmetic lvalues are both modifiable scalar lvalues and arithmetic. Note that this
+results in the ``inheritance'' of \lstinline$scalar$ along both paths.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+context m_l_arithmetic( type T | m_l_scalar( T ) | arithmetic( T ) ) {@\impl{m_l_arithmetic}@
+        T ?/=?( T *, T ), ?*=?( T *, T );@\use{m_l_scalar}@@\use{arithmetic}@
+        T ?+=?( T *, T ), ?-=?( T *, T );
+};
+
+context m_l_integral( type T | m_l_arithmetic( T ) | integral( T ) ) {@\impl{m_l_integral}@
+        T ?&=?( T *, T ), ?|=?( T *, T ), ?^=?( T *, T );@\use{m_l_arithmetic}@
+        T ?%=?( T *, T ), ?<<=?( T *, T ), ?>>=?( T *, T );@\use{integral}@
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+
+\subsection{Pointer and array types}
+
+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
+``\lstinline$a[i]$'' is equivalent to the dereferencing expression ``\lstinline$(*( a+( i )))$''.
+Technically, pointer arithmetic and pointer comparisons other than ``\lstinline$==$'' and
+``\lstinline$!=$'' are only defined for pointers to array elements, but the type system does not
+enforce those restrictions. Consequently, there is no need for a separate ``array type''
+specification.
+
+Pointer types are scalar types. Like other scalar types, they have ``\lstinline$+$'' and
+``\lstinline$-$'' operators, but the types do not match the types of the operations in
+\lstinline$arithmetic$, so these operators cannot be consolidated in \lstinline$scalar$.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+context pointer( type P | scalar( P ) ) {@\impl{pointer}@@\use{scalar}@
+        P ?+?( P, long int ), ?+?( long int, P ), ?-?( P, long int );
+        ptrdiff_t ?-?( P, P );
+};
+
+context m_l_pointer( type P | pointer( P ) | m_l_scalar( P ) ) {@\impl{m_l_pointer}@
+        P ?+=?( P *, long int ), ?-=?( P *, long int );
+        P ?=?( P *, void * );
+        void * ?=?( void **, P );
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+Specifications that define the dereference operator ( or subscript operator ) require two
+parameters, one for the pointer type and one for the pointed-at ( or element ) type. Different
+specifications are needed for each set of \Index{type qualifier}s, because qualifiers are not
+included in types. The assertion ``\lstinline$|ptr_to( Safe_pointer, int )$'' should be read as
+``\lstinline$Safe_pointer$ acts like a pointer to \lstinline$int$''.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+context ptr_to( type P | pointer( P ), type T ) {@\impl{ptr_to}@@\use{pointer}@
+        lvalue T *?( P ); lvalue T ?[?]( P, long int );
+};
+
+context ptr_to_const( type P | pointer( P ), type T ) {@\impl{ptr_to_const}@
+        const lvalue T *?( P ); const lvalue T ?[?]( P, long int );@\use{pointer}@
+};
+
+context ptr_to_volatile( type P | pointer( P ), type T ) }@\impl{ptr_to_volatile}@
+        volatile lvalue T *?( P ); volatile lvalue T ?[?]( P, long int );@\use{pointer}@
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+\begin{lstlisting}
+context ptr_to_const_volatile( type P | pointer( P ), type T ) }@\impl{ptr_to_const_volatile}@
+        const volatile lvalue T *?( P );@\use{pointer}@
+        const volatile lvalue T ?[?]( P, long int );
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+Assignment to pointers is more complicated than is the case with other types, because the target's
+type can have extra type qualifiers in the pointed-at type: a ``\lstinline$T *$'' can be assigned to
+a ``\lstinline$const T *$'', a ``\lstinline$volatile T *$'', and a ``\lstinline$const volatile T *$''.
+Again, the pointed-at type is passed in, so that assertions can connect these specifications to the
+``\lstinline$ptr_to$'' specifications.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+context m_l_ptr_to( type P | m_l_pointer( P ),@\use{m_l_pointer}@@\impl{m_l_ptr_to}@ type T | ptr_to( P, T )@\use{ptr_to}@ {
+        P ?=?( P *, T * );
+        T * ?=?( T **, P );
+};
+
+context m_l_ptr_to_const( type P | m_l_pointer( P ),@\use{m_l_pointer}@@\impl{m_l_ptr_to_const}@ type T | ptr_to_const( P, T )@\use{ptr_to_const}@) {
+        P ?=?( P *, const T * );
+        const T * ?=?( const T **, P );
+};
+
+context m_l_ptr_to_volatile( type P | m_l_pointer( P ),@\use{m_l_pointer}@@\impl{m_l_ptr_to_volatile}@ type T | ptr_to_volatile( P, T )) {@\use{ptr_to_volatile}@
+        P ?=?( P *, volatile T * );
+        volatile T * ?=?( volatile T **, P );
+};
+
+context m_l_ptr_to_const_volatile( type P | ptr_to_const_volatile( P ),@\use{ptr_to_const_volatile}@@\impl{m_l_ptr_to_const_volatile}@
+                type T | m_l_ptr_to_volatile( P, T ) | m_l_ptr_to_const( P )) {@\use{m_l_ptr_to_const}@@\use{m_l_ptr_to_volatile}@
+        P ?=?( P *, const volatile T * );
+        const volatile T * ?=?( const volatile T **, P );
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+Note the regular manner in which type qualifiers appear in those specifications. An alternative
+specification can make use of the fact that qualification of the pointed-at type is part of a
+pointer type to capture that regularity.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+context m_l_ptr_like( type MyP | m_l_pointer( MyP ),@\use{m_l_pointer}@@\impl{m_l_ptr_like}@ type CP | m_l_pointer( CP ) ) {
+        MyP ?=?( MyP *, CP );
+        CP ?=?( CP *, MyP );
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+The assertion ``\lstinline$| m_l_ptr_like( Safe_ptr, const int * )$'' should be read as
+``\lstinline$Safe_ptr$ is a pointer type like \lstinline$const int *$''. This specification has two
+defects, compared to the original four: there is no automatic assertion that dereferencing a
+\lstinline$MyP$ produces an lvalue of the type that \lstinline$CP$ points at, and the
+``\lstinline$|m_l_pointer( CP )$'' assertion provides only a weak assurance that the argument passed
+to \lstinline$CP$ really is a pointer type.
+
+
+\section{Relationships between operations}
+
+Different operators often have related meanings; for instance, in C, ``\lstinline$+$'',
+``\lstinline$+=$'', and the two versions of ``\lstinline$++$'' perform variations of addition.
+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.
+Completeness and consistency is left to the good taste and discretion of the programmer. It 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.
+
+In \CFA, polymorphic functions provide the equivalent of these generic operators, and
+specifications explicitly define the minimal implementation that a programmer should provide. This
+section shows a few examples.
+
+
+\subsection{Relational and equality operators}
+
+The different comparison operators have obvious relationships, but there is no obvious subset of the
+operations to use in the implementation of the others. However, it is usually convenient to
+implement a single comparison function that returns a negative integer, 0, or a positive integer if
+its first argument is respectively less than, equal to, or greater than its second argument; the
+library function \lstinline$strcmp$ is an example.
+
+C and \CFA have an extra, non-obvious comparison operator: ``\lstinline$!$'', logical negation,
+returns 1 if its operand compares equal to 0, and 0 otherwise.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+context comparable( type T ) {
+        const T 0;
+        int compare( T, T );
+}
+
+forall( type T | comparable( T ) ) int ?<?( T l, T r ) {
+        return compare( l, r ) < 0;
+}
+// ... similarly for <=, ==, >=, >, and !=. 
+
+forall( type T | comparable( T ) ) int !?( T operand ) {
+        return !compare( operand, 0 );
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+
+\subsection{Arithmetic and integer operations}
+
+A complete arithmetic type would provide the arithmetic operators and the corresponding assignment
+operators. Of these, the assignment operators are more likely to be implemented directly, because
+it is usually more efficient to alter the contents of an existing object than to create and return a
+new one. Similarly, a complete integral type would provide integral operations based on integral
+assignment operations.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+context arith_base( type T ) {
+        const T 1;
+        T ?+=?( T *, T ), ?-=?( T *, T ), ?*=?( T *, T ), ?/=?( T *, T );
+}
+
+forall( type T | arith_base( T ) ) T ?+?( T l, T r ) {
+        return l += r;
+}
+
+forall( type T | arith_base( T ) ) T ?++( T * operand ) {
+        T temporary = *operand;
+        *operand += 1;
+        return temporary;
+}
+
+forall( type T | arith_base( T ) ) T ++?( T * operand ) {
+        return *operand += 1;
+}
+// ... similarly for -, --, *, and /. 
+
+context int_base( type T ) {
+        T ?&=?( T *, T ), ?|=?( T *, T ), ?^=?( T *, T );
+        T ?%=?( T *, T ), ?<<=?( T *, T ), ?>>=?( T *, T );
+}
+
+forall( type T | int_base( T ) ) T ?&?( T l, T r ) {
+        return l &= r;
+}
+// ... similarly for |, ^, %, <<, and >>.
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+Note that, although an arithmetic type would certainly provide comparison functions, and an integral
+type would provide arithmetic operations, there does not have to be any relationship among
+\lstinline$int_base$, \lstinline$arith_base$ and \lstinline$comparable$. Note also that these
+declarations provide guidance and assistance, but they do not define an absolutely minimal set of
+requirements. A truly minimal implementation of an arithmetic type might only provide
+\lstinline$0$, \lstinline$1$, and \lstinline$?-=?$, which would be used by polymorphic
+\lstinline$?+=?$, \lstinline$?*=?$, and \lstinline$?/=?$ functions.
+
+Note also that \lstinline$short$ is an integer type in C11 terms, but has no operations!
+
+
+\chapter{TODO}
+Review index entries.
+
+Restrict allowed to qualify anything, or type/dtype parameters, but only affects pointers. This gets
+into \lstinline$noalias$ territory. Qualifying anything (``\lstinline$short restrict rs$'') means
+pointer parameters of \lstinline$?++$, etc, would need restrict qualifiers.

+Enumerated types. Constants are not ints. Overloading. Definition should be ``representable as an
+integer type'', not ``as an int''. C11 usual conversions freely convert to and from ordinary
+integer types via assignment, which works between any integer types. Does enum Color ?*?( enum
+Color, enum Color ) really make sense? ?++ does, but it adds (int)1.
+
+Operators on {,signed,unsigned} char and other small types. ?<? harmless; ?*? questionable for
+chars. Generic selections make these choices visible. Safe conversion operators? Predefined
+``promotion'' function?
+
+\lstinline$register$ assignment might be handled as assignment to a temporary with copying back and
+forth, but copying must not be done by assignment.
+
+Don't use ptrdiff\_t by name in the predefineds.
+
+Polymorphic objects. Polymorphic typedefs and type declarations.
