30.1 The generated files

The SML# installer will compile and install smlyacc and smllex commands, which are used to generate the SML# system. These commands generates the following SML# source files.

command	input file	generated files	Contents
smlyacc	$\mbox{$\,\langle$}{\it YaccInputFileName}\mbox{$\rangle\,$}$ .grm	$\mbox{$\,\langle$}{\it YaccInputFileName}\mbox{$\rangle\,$}$ .grm.sml	A Parser Program
		$\mbox{$\,\langle$}{\it YaccInputFileName}\mbox{$\rangle\,$}$ .grm.sig	Parser’s Token signature
		$\mbox{$\,\langle$}{\it YaccInputFileName}\mbox{$\rangle\,$}$ .grm.desc	LR automaton state descriptions
smllex	$\mbox{$\,\langle$}{\it LexInputFileName}\mbox{$\rangle\,$}$ .lex	$\mbox{$\,\langle$}{\it LexInputFileName}\mbox{$\rangle\,$}$ .lex.sml	A Lexical analyzer

•

smlyacc command only takes an input file name $\mbox{$\,\langle$}{\it YaccInputFileName}\mbox{$\rangle\,$}$ .grm. The output file name can be specified with the following environment variable:

SMLYACC_OUTPUT= $\mbox{$\,\langle$}{\it YaccOutputFileName}\mbox{$\rangle\,$}.sml$

The specification of the output file includes its suffix (.sml). With this environment variable is set, smlyacc generates the token signature at the top of the output file.
•

smllex command only takes an input file name $\mbox{$\,\langle$}{\it LexInputFileName}\mbox{$\rangle\,$}$ .lex. The output file name can be specified with the following environment variable:

SMLLEX_OUTPUT= $\mbox{$\,\langle$}{\it LexOutputFileName}\mbox{$\rangle\,$}.sml$

The specification of the output file includes its suffix (.sml).
