-(define (read-brainfuck p)
- `(<brainfuck> ,@(read-body p)))
+; Purpose of the parse module is to read in brainfuck in text form and produce
+; the corresponding tree representing the brainfuck code.
+;
+; Each object (representing basically a single instruction) is structured like:
+; (<instruction> [arguments])
+; where <instruction> is a symbolic name representing the type of instruction
+; and the optional arguments represent further data (for instance, the body of
+; a [...] loop as a number of nested instructions).
+
+
+; While reading a number of instructions in sequence, all of them are cons'ed
+; onto a list of instructions; thus this list gets out in reverse order.
+; Additionally, for "comment characters" (everything not an instruction) we
+; generate <bf-nop> NOP instructions.
+;
+; This routine reverses a list of instructions and removes all <bf-nop>'s on the
+; way to fix these two issues for a read-in list.
(define (reverse-without-nops lst)
(let iterate ((cur lst)
(iterate tail result)
(iterate tail (cons head result)))))))
-(define (read-body p)
+
+; Read in a set of instructions until a terminating ] character is found (or
+; end of file is reached). This is used both for loop bodies and whole
+; programs, so that a program has to be either terminated by EOF or an
+; additional ], too.
+;
+; For instance, the basic program so just echo one character would be:
+; ,.]
