Hi there, I wanne dive a bit more deep into the clojure compiler and I wonder whether it follows the std procedure for compiled languages
Character Stream -> Scanner (lexical analysis) -> Token Stream Token Stream -> Parser (syntax analysis) -> Parse Tree Parse Tree -> Semantic Analysis -> Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) (Optional) AST -> Machine Independent code improvement) -> Modified AST Modified AST -> Target Code Generation -> Target Language (here Java Byte Code) Thanks for hints and references regarding this topic. Literature on this topic (e.g. O'Reilly Clojure Programming by Emerick, Carper et Grand) states that clojure programs are written using clojure datastructures and directly represent an AST. But a task of semantic analysis is to check whether a statement given in the programming language is valid in terms of the programming language semantics. So some component has to check whether the symbol foo in the list (foo "baz") denotes either a static function applicable to a string literal or a instance function of the string literal itself. Which component serves this job? thanks & cheers christian -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
