Stage 1 - Lexical analyser - implemented with flex (iec.flex)
Stage 2 - Syntax parser - implemented with bison (iec.y)
- Stage 3 - Semantics analyser - not yet implemented

Stage 4 - Code generator - implemented in C++

NOTE 2
======
- I (Mario) have a feeling that the abstract syntax may be
-considerably simplified without any drawbacks to semantic checking
-and code generation. I have nevertheless opted to keep as much
-info as possible in the abstract syntax tree, in case it may become
-necessary further on.
- Once we start coding the next stages (semantic checking and code
-generation) I will get a better understanding of what is required
-of the abstract syntax tree. At that stage I will be better
-positioned to make a more informed decision on how best to structure
-the abstract syntax tree.
- For now, we play conservative and keep as much info as possible.

It would be nice to get this parser integrated into the gcc
group of compilers. We would then be able to compile our st/il
programs directly into executable binaries, for all the processor

We extend the IEC 61131-3 standard syntax to allow inclusion of
