compile
|
The compile compiles the Analytic Information Server generic parse tree {parseTree}
argument (normally output from morph) and returns an Lambda object. If the optional {anLambda} argument is passed,
it becomes the target of the compilation and is returned; otherwise, a new Lambda object is returned. If the optional true argument is passed,
the compilation always inherits the persistent variables of the {anLambda} argument.
Usage Use the compile when producing an Lambda from a parse tree is required. Normally, a
three step process will compile Lisp source: lisp, followed by morph, followed by compile.

Description Argument: parseTree ---
An Analytic Information Server generic parse tree (normally output from morph) Argument: anLambda Lambda
Optional Argument. If present, it specifies the target (Lambda) of the compilation.
not present, a new Lambda object is returned. Argument: true Boolean
Optional Argument. If present, the compilation will inherit the persistent variable
of the {anLambda} argument.
Returns:
Here are a number of links to Lambda coding examples which contain this instruction in various use cases.
Here are the links to the data types of the function arguments.
| Lambda | List | Boolean |
Here are also a number of links to functions having arguments with any of these data types.
