4.17.1 Generated Hints

The following hints are currently generated by the T3X translator.

HINT Context Contained Information
HDR HINT N The number of formal arguments of the procedure being defined. (*)
MHDR HINT N The number of formal arguments of the method being defined plus 1. (In terms of Tcode, the new instance context passed to the method is also an argument. Therefore, N is one higher than the number of arguments defined in the original T3X program.) (*)

(*) These values are particularly useful when translating Tcode back into a high level language, since they allow to create a procedure header with the proper number of formal arguments without having to scan the entire procedure body.
