4 Type checker

Type checking is performed on any context files first, followed by the input module mentioned in the command.

The tool outputs the names of modules it is checking. If it finds errors it also outputs (on standard output) messages in the form

X.rsl:m:n: text

which indicates there is an error described by text in the file X.rsl at line m and column n.

Apart from syntax errors the tool runs to completion. So remember that some errors may be the consequences of earlier ones.

In the case of syntax errors the tool is usually one token ahead of what caused the error, so you may need to go back past the preceding space or new line to find the cause.
