8 System Libraries

Some programming support libraries may be included automatically at the end of your program by the C-INTERCAL compiler. While such a convenience feature might be judged not in the spirit of INTERCAL, the required level of perversity is arguably restored by the way inclusion is triggered: whenever your program refers to a line from specified magic ranges without defining any line in those ranges in the program.

(CLC-INTERCAL does not have this feature, but it is trivial to concatenate a copy of any desire library onto the end of the program.)

The following table maps magic line ranges to systen libraries. Descriptions of the libraries follow it.

From To Versions Description
