\section{Syntax}
\label{sec:cafeobj-syntax}
We use an extended BNF grammar to define the syntax. The general form
of a production is
\begin{syntax}
\synindent\synindent nonterminal &::=& alternative \alt alternative \alt \cdots \alt alternative
\end{syntax}
The following extensions are used:
\begin{center}
\begin{fminipage}{0.7\textwidth}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
a $\cdots$ & a list of one or more \textit{a}s. \\
a, $\cdots$ & a list of one or more \textit{a}s separated by commas: \\
& ``a'' or ``a, a'' or ``a, a, a'', etc. \\
$\seqof{\textrm{a}}$ & \textbf{\{} and \textbf{\}} are meta-syntactical
brackets \\
& treating \textit{a} as one syntactic category. \\
$\optn{\textrm{a}}$ & an optional \textit{a}: `` '' or ``a''.
\end{tabular}
\end{fminipage}
\end{center}
Nonterminal symbols appear in \textit{italic face}. Terminal symbols
appear in the face like this: ``\sym{terminal}'', and may be
surrounded by `` and '' for emphasis or to avoid confusion
with meta characters used in the extended BNF. We will refer terminal
symbols other than self-terminating characters (see section
~\ref{sec:selfterminating}) as \textit{keyword}s in this document.

A \cafeobj\ spec is a sequence of \nonterm{module} (module declaration
-- section ~\ref{sec:module-decl}), \nonterm{view} (view declaration --
section ~\ref{sec:view-decl}) or \nonterm{eval} (\textit{reduce} or

\\

view\_name &::=& ident \\
view\_elt &::=& sort\_map \alt op\_view \alt variable \\
op\_view &::=& op\_map \alt term\; \verb|->|\; term
\end{syntax}
When a module expression is not fully parenthesized, the proper
nesting of subexpressions may be ambiguous. The following precedence rule
is used to resolve such ambiguity:
\[ \nonterm{sum} < \nonterm{rename} < \nonterm{instantiation} \]
\subsection{View Declaration}
\label{sec:view-decl}
\begin{syntax}
view &::=& \sym{view}\; view\_name\; \sym{from}\; module\_expr\; \sym{to}
\; module\_expr \\
&& \sym{``\{''}\; view\_elt, \cdots \; \sym{``\}''} \\
\end{syntax}
%\subsection{Term}
%\label{sec:term}
\subsection{Evaluation}
\label{sec:eval}
\begin{syntax}
eval & ::= & \seqof{\sym{reduce}\alt\sym{behavioural-reduce}
\alt\sym{execute}}\; context\;
term\; \sym{``.''} \\
context & ::=& \sym{in}\; module\_expr\;\sym{:}
\end{syntax}
The interpreter has a notion of \textit{current module} which
is specified by a \nonterm{module\_expr} and establishes a context.
If it is set, \nonterm{context} can be omitted.
\subsection{Sugars and Abbriviations}
\label{sec:sugar}
\paragraph{Module type}
There are following abbreviations for \nonterm{module\_type}.
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ll}\hline
Keyword & Abbriviation \\\hline
\sym{module} & \sym{mod}\\
\sym{module!} & \sym{mod!} \\
\sym{module*} & \sym{mod*}\\\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\paragraph{Module Declaration}
\begin{syntax}
make &::=& \sym{make}\;module\_name\;\sym{``(''}\; module\_expr\;\sym{``)''}
\end{syntax}
\nonterm{make} is a short hand for declaring module of
name \nonterm{module\_name} which imports \nonterm{module\_expr} with
protecting mode.
\begin{example}
make FOO (BAR * \{sort Bar -> Foo\})
\end{example}
is equivalent to
\begin{example}
module FOO \{ protecting (BAR * \{sort Bar -> Foo\}) \}
\end{example}
\paragraph{Principal Sort}
\sym{principal-sort} can be abbriviated to \sym{psort}.
\paragraph{Import Mode}
For import modes, the following abbriviations can be used:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ll}\hline
Keyword & Abbriviation \\\hline
\sym{protecting} & \sym{pr} \\
\sym{extending} & \sym{ex} \\
\sym{including} & \sym{inc} \\
\sym{using} & \sym{us} \\\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\paragraph{Simultaneous Operator Declaration}
Several operators with the same arity, coarity and operator attributes
can be declared at once by \sym{ops}.
The form
\begin{syntax}
\sym{ops}\; operator\_symbol_1 \cdots operator\_symbol_n\;
:\; arity\; \verb|->|\; coarity\; op\_attrs
\end{syntax}
is just equivalent to the following multiple operator declarations:
\begin{syntax}
\sym{op}\; & operator\_symbol_1\;:\;arity\;\verb|->|\;coarity\;op\_attrs
\\
&\vdots\\
\sym{op}\; & operator\_symbol_n\;:\;arity\;\verb|->|\;coarity\;op\_attrs
\end{syntax}
\sym{bops} is the counterpart of \sym{ops} for behavioural operators.
\begin{syntax}
\sym{bops}\; operator\_symbol\;\cdots\; : \; arity\;\verb|->|\;
coarity \; op\_attrs
\end{syntax}
In simultaneous declarations, parentheses are sometimes necessary
to separate operator symbols. This is always required if an operator
symbol contains dots, blank characters or underscores.
\paragraph{Predicate}
Predicate declaration (\nonterm{predicate}) is a syntactic sugar for
declaring \sym{Bool} valued operators, and has the syntax:
\begin{syntax}
predicate &::=&
\sym{pred}\;operator\_symbol\;:\;arity\;\optn{op\_attrs}
&\footnote{You cannot use \nonterm{sort\_name} of the same
character sequence as that of any keywords, i.e., \sym{module},
\sym{op}, \sym{vars}, etc. in \nonterm{arity}.}
\end{syntax}
The form
\begin{syntax}
\sym{pred}\;operator\_symbol\;:\;arity\;op\_attrs
\end{syntax}
is equivalent to:
\begin{syntax}
\sym{op}\;operator\_symbol\;:\;arity\;\verb|->|\; \sym{Bool} \;op\_attrs
\end{syntax}
\paragraph{Operator Attributes}
The following abbriviations are available:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ll}\hline
Keyword & Abbriviation \\\hline
\sym{associative} & \sym{assoc} \\
\sym{commutative} & \sym{comm} \\
\sym{idempotent} & \sym{idem} \\\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\paragraph{Axioms}
For the keywords introducing axioms, the following
abbriviations can be used:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ll|ll}\hline
Keyword & Abbriviation & Keyword & Abbriviation \\\hline
\sym{ceq} & \sym{cq} &
\sym{bceq} & \sym{bcq} \\
\sym{trans} & \sym{trns} &
\sym{ctrans} & \sym{ctrns} \\
\sym{btrans} & \sym{btrns} &
\sym{bctrans} & \sym{bctrns} \\\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\paragraph{Blocks of Declarations}
References to (importations of) other modules, signature definitions and
axioms can be clusterd in blocked declarations:
\begin{syntax}
imports &::=&
\sym{imports}\;\sym{``\{''}\\
&&\synindent\seqof{import \alt comment}\cdots\\
&&\sym{``\}''}\\
signature &::=& \sym{signature}\;\sym{``\{''}\\
&&\synindent\seqof{sort \alt record \alt operator \alt
comment}\cdots\\
&&\sym{``\}''}\\
axioms &::=& \sym{axioms}\;\sym{``\{''}\\
&&\synindent\seqof{variable \alt axiom\alt comment}\cdots\\
&&\sym{``\}''}
\end{syntax}
\paragraph{Views}
To reduce the complexity of views appearing in module instantiation,
some sugars are provided.
First, it is possible to identify parameters by positions, not by names.
For example, if a parameterized module is declared like
\begin{example}
\sym{module!} FOO (A1 :: TH1, A2 :: TH2) \sym{\{} ... \sym{\}}
\end{example}
the form
\begin{example}
FOO(V1, V2)
\end{example}
is equivalent to
\begin{example}
FOO(A1 <= V1, A2 <= V2)
\end{example}
Secondly, \sym{view to} construct in arguments of module
instantiations can always be omitted. That is,
\begin{example}
FOO(A1 <= \sym{view to} \nonterm{module\_expr}\{...\})
\end{example}
can be written as
\begin{example}
FOO(A1 <= \nonterm{module\_expr}\{...\})
\end{example}
\paragraph{Evaluation}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ll}\hline
Keyword & Abbriviation \\\hline
\sym{reduce} & \sym{red} \\
\sym{bereduce} & \sym{bred} \\
\sym{execute} & \sym{exec} \\\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\section{Lexical Considerations}
\label{sec:lex}
A \cafeobj\ spec is written as a sequence of tokens and separators.
A \textit{token} is a sequence of ``printing'' ASCII characters (octal
40 through 176).\footnote{The current interpreter accepts Unicode characters also, but this is beyond the definition of
CafeOBJ language.}
A \textit{separator} is a ``blank'' character (space, vertical
tab, horizontal tab, carriage return, newline, form feed).
In general, any mumber of separators may appear between tokens.
\subsection{Reserved Word}
\label{sec:keywords}
There are \textit{no\/} reserved word in \cafeobj.
One can use keywords such as \sym{module}, \sym{op}, \sym{var},
or \sym{signature}, etc. for identifiers or operator symbols.
\subsection{Self-terminating Characters}
\label{sec:selfterminating}
The following eight characters are always treated as \textit{self-terminating},
i.e., the character itself construct a token.
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{llllllll}
\sym{(} & \sym{)} & \sym{,} & \sym{[} & \sym{]}
& \sym{\{} & \sym{\}} & \sym{;}
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\subsection{Identifier}
\label{sec:identifier}
Nonterminal \nonterm{ident} is for \emph{identifier}
which is a sequnce of any printing ASCII characters except
the followings:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
self-terminating characters (see section ~\ref{sec:selfterminating})\\
\sym{.} (dot)\\
\sym{"} (double quote)\\

Upper- and lowercase are distinguished in identifiers.
\nonterm{ident}s are used for module names (\nonterm{module\_name}),
view names (\nonterm{view\_name}),
parameter names (\nonterm{parameter\_name}),
sort symbols (\nonterm{sort\_symbol}), variables(\nonterm{var\_name}),
slot names (\nonterm{slot\_name}) and labels (\nonterm{label}).
\subsection{Operator Symbol}
\label{sec:opsymbol}
The nonterminal \nonterm{operator\_symbol} is used for naming operators
(\nonterm{operator}) and is a sequence of any ASCII characters
(self-terminating characters or non-printing characters can be an
element of operator names.)\footnote{The current implementation does
not allow EOT character (control-D) to be an element of operator
symbol. }
Underscores are specially treated when they apper as a part of
operator names; they reserve the places where arguments of the
operator are inserted. Thus the single underscore cannot be a
name of an operator.
\subsection{Comments and Separators}
\label{sec:comments}
A \nonterm{comment} is a sequence of characters that begins with one
of the following four character sequences
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\verb|--| &
\verb|-->|\\
\verb|**| &
\verb|**>| \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
which ends with a newline character, and contains only printing ASCII
characters and horizontal tabs in between.
A \nonterm{separator} is a blank character (space, vertical tab,
horizontal tab, carriage return, newline, from feed).
One or more separators must appear between any two adjuacent
non-self-terminating tokens.\footnote{The same rule is applied to
\nonterm{term}.
Further, if an \nonterm{operator\_symbol} contains blanks or
self-terminating characters, it is sometimes neccessary to enclose a
term with such operator as top by parentheses for disambiguation.}
Comments also act as separators, but their apperance is limited to
some specific places (see section ~\ref{sec:cafeobj-syntax}).
