Not Ready for Review: This Page is Under Development!

Parser
- Support only separate type declarations (exclude separate class declarations).
- Provide syntax to refer to the processors (not supported in 6.7).
- Take into account the possibility to use anchors.
Type checking introduces new
- Conformance rules that affect type system
- Validity rules that require good description of errors
Code generation is closely connected with work on the scheduler (A1, A2) and should target
- bytecode
- C code
- CIL code

Syntax
- Drop support of separate classes, only separate types are supported.
- Separate mark is allowed not only for class types, but also for other types.
Semantics
- Default formal generic constraint is detachable separate ANY.
- Formal generic is considered non-separate if at least one constraint is not separate, otherwise it is considered separate.
Code generation
- Separate and non-separate class types are generated separately, i.e. ANY and separate ANY get different code.
- Generic derivations with separate and non-separate generics are generated separately, i.e. ARRAY [G] and ARRAY [separate G] get different code.
