The files in this directory comprise a parser for the ELLA hardware
description language.  The grammar is divided into the following
sections:

  1. A1_1.grm  BASICS 
  2. A1_2.grm  MAIN_LOOP
  3. A1_3.grm  DECLARATIONS 
  4. A1_4.grm  TYPES 
  5. A1_5.grm  INTEGERS
  6. A1_6.grm  CONSTANTS
  7. A1_7.grm  FUNCTIONS
  8. A1_8.grm  UNITS
  9. A1_9.grm  SERIES
 10. A1_10.grm SEQUENCES 
 11. A1_11.grm MACROS 

These sections reflect the organization of the grammar as specified in
the ELLA language reference manual.  

The parser converts ELLA input into a recursive data type suitable for
pretty-printing.  Transformation functions may then be applied to
convert the data type into the HOL logic.  The pretty printer is
contained in the files PP_printer.ml, full-ella.ml, and PP_command.ml
in the current directory, and were generated from the pretty printing
language developed by Richard Boulton.

To make the parser, edit the Makefile to point to the location of HOL as
well as the general.ml file.  The parser may be regenerated from
scratch by parsing each of the *.grm files (type =  ella list).  The order 
in which they are converted is not important.

To load in the generated parser, loadf the file loader.ml after editing
the path to general.ml.  It contains the appropriate definitions of
separators, as well as a call to new_syntax_block. 

Sample input is provided in the ella_files directory.  These may be
parsed using the ELLA_file function.
