3 Usage

coNCePTuaL is more than just a language; it is a complete toolset that consists of the following components:

• the coNCePTuaL language (see Grammar)
• a compiler and run-time library for coNCePTuaL programs (see Compiling coNCePTuaL programs)
• a set of compiler backends that can generate code for a variety of languages and communication layers (see Supplied backends)
• utilities to help analyze the results (see ncptl-logextract)

This chapter explains how to compile and run coNCePTuaL programs and how to interpret the log files they output.
