predef and global are namespace prefixes, AFAIK.

hi,

trying to make a complete list of reserved words in pike.

i found all of these in language.yacc, and i hope the list is complete.

A better place to look is lexer.h.

types: array mapping multiset object function program string float int void mixed

related to types: constant enum typedef

flow control: if do for while else foreach case switch break continue return

special "functions": sscanf typeof

special blocks: catch gauge class lambda

don't know how to name that group: import inherit

You've missed facet.

class access: final static private local public protected

i don't know what these do, but they seem to belong to class access: nomask inline extern optional variant

nomask makes the symbol not overloadable. inline is the old name for local. extern makes a prototype for a variable (not implemented yet). optional makes the symbol optional in the type for the surrounding class. variant is reserved for polymorphic overloading (not implemented yet).

i have no clue what these are: default predef global

default is the fallback label in swtich statements. predef is the namespace for interpreter global constants. global has two uses; it is the root for the module tree (global.), and it is the namespace for the toplevel class (global::).

Note that there are also a few special symbols that are unreserved:

this Evaluates to this_program() for the context it is looked up in. this_program Evaluates to object_program(this).

There is also one hardcoded module:

UNDEFINED Constant 0 with zero_type 1.
