[VersionInstruction::] The Version Construct. Defining the version construct. @ This is a pseudo-construct: it looks like an instruction in textual Inter syntax, but specifies something else, and does not result in an |inter_tree_node|. = void VersionInstruction::define_construct(void) { inter_construct *IC = InterInstruction::create_construct(VERSION_IST, I"version"); InterInstruction::specify_syntax(IC, I"version TOKEN"); InterInstruction::permit(IC, OUTSIDE_OF_PACKAGES_ICUP); METHOD_ADD(IC, CONSTRUCT_READ_MTID, VersionInstruction::read); METHOD_ADD(IC, CONSTRUCT_VERIFY_MTID, VersionInstruction::verify); } void VersionInstruction::verify(inter_construct *IC, inter_tree_node *P, inter_package *owner, inter_error_message **E) { *E = Inode::error(P, I"VERSION_IST structures cannot exist", NULL); } @ What it does is to specify the version of the Inter language used in the file of textual Inter being read in. Now, we can only read a version compatible with the version we use ourselves: so we throw an error if it is not. = void VersionInstruction::read(inter_construct *IC, inter_bookmark *IBM, inter_line_parse *ilp, inter_error_location *eloc, inter_error_message **E) { semantic_version_number file_version = VersionNumbers::from_text(ilp->mr.exp[0]); if (InterVersion::check_readable(file_version) == FALSE) { semantic_version_number current_version = InterVersion::current(); text_stream *erm = Str::new(); WRITE_TO(erm, "file holds Inter written for specification v%v, but I expect v%v", &file_version, ¤t_version); *E = InterErrors::plain(erm, eloc); } }
