#+TITLE: GRU DeerTree specifications
[[https://gruos.org/deertree/stdlib.html][GRU DeerTree standard library specifications]]
DeerTree is high-level programming language, focused on simplification of low-level development.
* Lexical items
** Comments
- One line comment starts with ~//~ and ends with a newline.
- Multiple lines comment starts with ~/*~ and ends with ~*/~.
** Tokens
- Token is minimal language unit in DeerTree.
- There several types of tokens in DeerTree: /identifiers/, /keywords/ and /punctuation/.
*** Identifiers
- Identifiers are program elements.
- Keywords can't be used as identifiers.
*** Keywords
- Keywords are predefined and reserved words.
- They are associated with specific features.
**** DeerTree keywords:
#+BEGIN_SRC
fn, import, int, double, long, float, char, byte,
string, bool, true, false, return, if, else, const,
switch, case, for, do, while, break, continue, struct,
enum, union, type, goto, unsigned, extern, strict
(auto), (until), (define) -- this is not needed
#+END_SRC
*** Punctuation
- Punctutation is character sequence that represents operators and punctuation.
**** DeerTree punctuation:
#+BEGIN_SRC
'+', '-', '*', '/', '%', '++', '--'
'&', '&&', '|', '||', '^', '<<', '>>',
'+=', '-=', '*=', '/=', '%=', '&=', '|=', '^=',
'>', '>=', '<', '<=', '=', '==', '!', '~'
'(', ')', '{', '}', '[', ']', ',', '.', ';', ':'
#+END_SRC
*** Integer literals
- An integer literal is sequence of digits that represents integer contstant.
- Prefix before integer literal sets non-decimal base of it: ~0b~ or ~0B~ - binary, ~0o~ or ~0O~ - octal, ~0x~ or ~0X~ - hexadecimal.
- Underscores don't change literal value, if they are after base prefix. Underscores can't be before integer literal or after.
**** Integer literals examples:
#+BEGIN_SRC
123
12_34
0b0101010
0B0101010
0o20
0O20
0xff
0xFF
0Xff
0XFF
0xFF_FF_FF
_12 // invalid: handled as identifier
12_ // invalid: can't be in the end of integer literal, must separate digits
12__34 // invalid: there can't be two underscores in a row
0_xff // invalid: underscore can't be in base prefix
#+END_SRC
*** Float literals
- A floating-point literal is a decimal or hexadecimal representation of a floating-point constant.
- A decimal floating-point literal consists of an integer part (decimal digits), a decimal point, a fractional part (decimal digits), and an exponent part (e or E followed by an optional sign and decimal digits).
- A hexadecimal floating-point literal consists of a 0x or 0X prefix, an integer part (hexadecimal digits), a radix point, a fractional part (hexadecimal digits), and an exponent part (p or P followed by an optional sign and decimal digits).
- Underscores don't change literal value, if they are after base prefix. Underscores can't be before float literal or after.
**** Integer literals examples:
#+BEGIN_SRC
0.
12.34
1.23456
1.e+10
3_4.
#+END_SRC
*** Rune literals
- A rune literal represents a rune constant, an integer value identifying a Unicode code point.
- A rune literal is expressed as one or more characters enclosed in single quotes, as in 'x' or '\n'.
- Within the quotes, any character may appear except newline and unescaped single quote.
- Single quoted character represents the Unicode value of the character itself, while multi-character sequences beginning with a backslash encode values in various formats.
**** After backslash, certain single-character escapes represent special values
#+BEGIN_SRC
\a U+0007 alert or bell
\b U+0008 backspace
\f U+000C form feed
\n U+000A line feed or newline
\r U+000D carriage return
\t U+0009 horizontal tab
\v U+000B vertical tab
\\ U+005C backslash
\' U+0027 single quote (valid escape only within rune literals)
\" U+0022 double quote (valid escape only within string literals)
#+END_SRC
**** Rune literals examples
#+BEGIN_SRC
'a'
'\n'
'\000'
'\xFFF'
'aa' // invalid: too many characters
#+END_SRC
*** String literals
- A string literal represents a string constant.
- A string is sequence of characters.
- The text between the quotes forms the value of the literal, with backslash escapes interpreted as rune literals.
**** String literals examples
#+BEGIN_SRC
"a"
"aaa"
"\n"
"\""
"Hello, World\n"
#+END_SRC
* TODO Constants
* Variables
- A variable is a location for storing a value.
- Variables have /types/.
- Each element of array acts as a variable.
** Variables examples
#+BEGIN_SRC
int a;
float b;
char[] c;
int a = 12;
a = 34;
b = 56;
a = b;
#+END_SRC
* TODO Types
- A type can be defined using ~type~ command.
** Boolean types
- A boolean type represents the set of Boolean truth values denoted by the predeclared constants ~true~ and ~false~.
- ~bool~ is predeclared boolean type.
** Numeric types
- A numeric type represents a set of integer or floating-point values.
*** Predeclared numeric types
#+BEGIN_SRC
// TODO: unsigned and others
int - 32-bit integer
double - 64-bit integer
long - 64-bit integer
float - 32-bit floating-point numbers
char - 8-bit integer
byte - alias for char
#+END_SRC
** String types
- A string type represents the set of string values
- A string value is a (possibly empty) sequence of character
- ~string~ is predeclared string type
** Array types
** Function types
** Dictionary types
* TODO Declarations
** Label scopes
** Constant declarations
** Type declarations
** Variable declarations
#+BEGIN_SRC
[type] [var-name];
[type] [var-name] = [value];
#+END_SRC
** Function declarations
- A function declaration binds an identifier to function as /function name/
#+BEGIN_SRC
fn [function-name] '(' { arguments_list } ')' { '(' { type } ')' } '{' body '}'
#+END_SRC
*** Example
#+BEGIN_SRC
fn inc_number(int num) (int) {
return num+1;
}
#+END_SRC

#+END_SRC
** break statements
#+BEGIN_SRC
"break"
#+END_SRC
** continue statements
#+BEGIN_SRC
"continue"
#+END_SRC
