When an AutoGen value is specified in a template, it is specified by name. The name may be a simple name, or a compound name of several components. Since each named value in AutoGen is implicitly an array of one or more values, each component may have an index associated with it.
It looks like this:
comp-name-1 . comp-name-2 [ 2 ] |
Note that if there are multiple components to a name, each component
name is separated by a dot (.). Indexes follow a component name,
enclosed in square brackets ([ and ]). The index may be
either an integer or an integer-valued define name. The first component
of the name is searched for in the current definition level. If not
found, higher levels will be searched until either a value is found,
or there are no more definition levels. Subsequent components of the
name must be found within the context of the newly-current definition
level. Also, if the named value is prefixed by a dot (.), then
the value search is started in the current context only. No higher
levels are searched.
If someone rewrites this, I'll incorporate it. :-)
