Rewrite Declarations

Function declarations

The Rewrite function is declared as follows:

    type function-name (parameter-list)

where type specifies the return type of the function, function-name declares the symbolic name of the function and parameter-list declares the formal parameters to the function. It is a comma-separated list of declarations in the form:

    type parm-name

type being the parameter type, and parm-name being its symbolic name. Both function-name and parm-name should be valid identifiers.

Variable declarations

There are no global variables in Rewrite. All variables are local. The local variables are declared right after the opening curly brace (`{') and before any executable statements. The declaration syntax is:

    type ident_list ;

Here ident_list is either a valid Rewrite identifier, or a comma- separated list of such identifiers. Please note that, unlike in C, no assignments are allowed in variable declarations.
