The Common Language Encoding Form (CLEF) Design Document

This document describes the generation interface used to build the Common Language Encoding Form intermediate representation. The generation interface is a set of function signatures which facilitate the separation of a compiler front end from the back end. The front end must have semantically resolved the program before using the generation interface. The common language encoding form is an abstract syntax tree representation with constructs sufficient for representing several popular imperative programming languages.
