Module lower 

Lowering (docs/lir.md): a compiled program with every name resolved, every category decided and every transfer of control made explicit, as the LIR a VM runs and a load module holds.

Lowered so far: storage, places, expressions and conditions, the arithmetic verbs, MOVE, IF, EVALUATE, DISPLAY, INITIALIZE, PERFORM, GO TO, GO TO DEPENDING ON, ALTER, EXIT, STOP RUN, GOBACK, CALL, CANCEL, ENTRY, INVOKE, SET, STRING, UNSTRING, INSPECT, SEARCH, ACCEPT, the file statements, intrinsic functions, independent segments, class definitions, USE AFTER EXCEPTION/ERROR, USE FOR DEBUGGING, JSON and XML GENERATE and PARSE, the EXEC blocks, SORT, MERGE, RELEASE and RETURN, the Report Writer, user-defined functions, and EXTERNAL and GLOBAL records, files and declaratives. Anything else is LowerError::Unsupported, naming the construct.

Enums

Why a program does not lower.

Functions

lower

Lowers one compiled program, or a class definition with its data and methods. One that passes Check and uses only the constructs lowered so far lowers.
