Functional keywords

Keyword	Description
stop	Stops the program execution (calls "exit(0)").
import	Imports a package (using namespace).
include	Directly includes a file into the source code. This should not be used to import declaration header files.
ret	Declares a return statement inside a function. If the function does not has the 'void' type denoter as return type, the 'ret' statement must be followed by an expression.
type	Declares a template typename or a type definition, e.g. "class Test { ... }" or "type GLint := int".
package	Declares a package namespace, e.g. "package Video { ... }" or "package Video.Renderer.OpenGL { ... }".
static	Declares a function or variable to be static.

if	Declares a conditional block. Must be followed by a boolean expression.
elif	Declares an alternative conditional block. Must be leaded by an 'if' block.
else	Declares the default alternative block. Must be leaded by an 'elif' or 'if' block.

switch	Declares a switch/case statement. Must be followed by at least one 'case' or a single 'def' statement.
case	Declares a case block in a switch/case statement. The expression can be a constant- integral, boolean or string expression.
def	Declares the default block in a switch/case statement.

loop	Declares a loop. This can be a for-, for-each- or while loop.
do	Declares a do-while loop. Must be followed by a command block and the closing 'loop' statement.
next	Jumps to the next iteration in the current loop (continue) or to the next case block in a switch/case statement.
break	Break out of a loop.

private	Declares the following statements to be private (inside a class and the global scope).
public	Declares the following statements to be public (inside a class and the global scope).
protect	Declares the following statements to be protected (inside a class only).

class	Declares a new class.
inherit	Declares a class to inherit (public) for other classes, e.g. "class Test inherit Foo, Bar { ... }".
init	Declares an initializer function inside a class (or rather a constructor).
release	Declares the release function inside a class (or rather the destructor).
abstract	Declares a class member function to be abstract (or rather pure virtual).
virtual	Declares a class member function to be virtual. In that case, classes - which inherit from this class - may override the function (polymorphism).

this	Returns a raw- or smart pointer depending on the l-value's type.

new	Allocates a new managed memory object (smart pointer).

try	Declares a try-catch block. Must be followed by at least one 'catch' block.
catch	Declares a catch block.
throw	Throws an exception.

enum	Declares an enumeration.
flags	Declares a flag enumeration. Its entries can only be initialized with a combination of other entries declared in this flag enumeration.

Literal keywords

Keyword	Description
null	Null pointer literal.
true	Boolean literal.
false	Boolean literal.

Type denoter keywords

Keyword	Description
auto	Auto type denoter. Automatically detects the type depending on a variables initializer.
void	Void type denoter. Can only be used as function return type.
const	Constant type denoter. Must be followed by a non-constant type denoter.

bool	Boolean type denoter.

byte	8-bit signed integral type denoter.
ubyte	8-bit unsigned integral type denoter.
short	16-bit signed integral type denoter.
ushort	16-bit unsigned integral type denoter.
int	32-bit signed integral type denoter.
uint	32-bit unsigned integral type denoter.
dint	64-bit signed integral type denoter.
udint	64-bit unsigned integral type denoter.

float	32-bit floating point type denoter.
double	64-bit floating point type denoter.
quad	128-bit floating point type denoter.

string	String type denoter in ASCII format.
wstring	String type denoter in unicode format.

Special keywords

Keyword	Description
once	Declares the current source file to be included only once into the output program.
cpp	Declares a block of 'inline C++ code'.
