The Curry Preprocessor

This repository contains the implementation of the Curry preprocessor currypp which supports some extensions for Curry programs, like

• Integrated code, i.e., the integration of code written in some other language into Curry programs, like regular expressions, format specifications (printf), HTML and XML code,
• default rules,
• contracts.

Details about the usage can be found in the manual. Here is a short summary of the usage of integrated code.

General usage of the code integrator:

If the pre-processor is installed as the binary currypp, Curry source files containing integrated code can be translated by running currypp as follows:

currypp <org-filename> <input-file> <output-file> foreigncode [-o]

The parameters are:

• The name of the original Curry source file.
• The name of the file containing the input to be translated.
• The name of the output file where the translated code should be stored.
• If the optional parameter -o is given, a copy of the translated code is stored in the file org-filename.CURRYPP.
• To preprocess SQL: --model:_SQLCode.info

Writing files with integrated code:

The basic syntax of integrated code in Curry program looks like

``langtag expression''

Here, langtag is a tag indicating the kind of integrated language, and expression is an expression of this language.

If `` or '' are used in the expression itself, the enclosing accents need to be of higher number than the inner graves, i.e., the following integrated code expression is also allowed:

````langtag expression''''

The number of opening and closing accents must always be identical.

Currently, the following langtag values are supported:

format - printf Syntax printf - same as above (but with an implicit putStr call) regex - Polymorphic regex expressions html - Standard HTML xml - Standard XML sql - SQL syntax
