|
The following prefixes are really special,
|
|
|
|
|
and are lexcrunch's responsibility:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"$$THING" : These are defines.
|
|
|
|
|
"$Thing" : Writes a global into stream. If not already allocated, is allocated a global.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"${" : Opens a frame.
|
|
|
|
|
"$}" : Closes a frame. (Attached temps are released.)
|
|
|
|
|
"$L|THING" : Allocates THING from temp pool, attaches to stack frame, writes to stream.

|
|
|
DEPRECATED, THESE ARE AN OLD MECHANISM, USE FRAMED TEMPS INSTEAD.
|

|
|
|
These are reserved only for use in locals.
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
"$lThing" symbols are used to name Local Symbols using aliases.
