File Structure

Recursive transfer bytecode files are written using Lttoolbox/compression.h. The structure of the file is as follows:

Length of the longest input-time pattern (including blanks)
Number of input-time rules
[
  for each input-time rule:
  the length the pattern
  the the rule
]
Number of output-time rules
Bytecode of each rule
Number of global chunk variable slots
Alphabet for the pattern transducer
Pattern transducer
The mapping from final states to rules
Attribute patterns
Global variables
Lists

Datatypes

The datatypes available to bytecode instructions are string, integer, boolean, and Chunk, where Chunk objects represent lexical units, chunks, and blanks.

Bytecode Operations

[int] after the name indicates that this instruction is two characters long and the second is to be interpreted as an integer.
