1 | FrontEnd |
| 2 | ======== | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | <:FrontEnd:> is a translation pass from source to the <:AST:> | |
| 5 | <:IntermediateLanguage:>. | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | == Description == | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | This pass performs lexing and parsing to produce an abstract syntax | |
| 10 | tree. | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | == Implementation == | |

| 15 | * <!ViewGitFile(mlton,master,mlton/front-end/front-end.fun)> | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | == Details and Notes == | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | The lexer is produced by <:MLLex:> from | |
| 20 | <!ViewGitFile(mlton,master,mlton/front-end/ml.lex)>. | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | The parser is produced by <:MLYacc:> from | |
| 23 | <!ViewGitFile(mlton,master,mlton/front-end/ml.grm)>. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | The specifications for the lexer and parser were originally taken from | |
| 26 | <:SMLNJ: SML/NJ> (version 109.32), but have been heavily modified | |
| 27 | since then. |
