Final

Some of the noteworthy changes compared to Tiger 2007:

Simplification of the parser

The parser is simplified in a number of ways. First the old syntax for imported files, let <decs> end, is simplified into <decs>. We also use GLR starting at TC-2. &, | and the unary minus operator are desugared using concrete syntax transformations.

See TC-R, Unique identifiers

This new optional part should be done during TC-3. Leave TC-E for later (with TC-5 or maybe TC-4).

Concrete syntax

Transformations can now be written using Tiger concrete syntax rather than explicit AST construction in C++. This applies to the DesugarVisitor, BoundsCheckingVisitor and InlineVisitor.
