#! /usr/bin/perl -w

# This program generates C/C++ code for efficiently manipulating
# ATerms.  It generates functions to build and match ATerms according
# to a set of constructor definitions defined in a file read from
# standard input.  A constructor is defined by a line with the
# following format:
#
#   SYM | ARGS | TYPE | FUN?
#
# where SYM is the name of the constructor, ARGS is a
# whitespace-separated list of argument types, TYPE is the type of the
# resulting ATerm (which should be `ATerm' or a type synonym for
# `ATerm'), and the optional FUN is used to construct the names of the
# build and match functions (it defaults to SYM; overriding it is
# useful if there are overloaded constructors, e.g., with different
# arities).  Note that SYM may be empty.
#
# A line of the form
#
#   VAR = EXPR
#
# causes a ATerm variable to be generated that is initialised to the
# value EXPR.
#
# Finally, a line of the form
#
#   init NAME
#
# causes the initialisation function to be called `NAME'.  This
# function must be called before any of the build/match functions or
# the generated variables are used.
