//==============================================================================
// Many of the functions return errors when parsing, linking etc.
// Because these errors may contain complex items, they're represented by
// objects, not just strings.
// These helper functions make it easy to find out whether a return value
// is an error, and to dump it out if needed.

function isErrorOrWarning (response)
function isError (response)
function getErrorDescription (error) // converts an error object to a string description
function printError (error)

//==============================================================================
// To compile a Cmajor program, create one of these, and call parse() on it to
// add your source code. If it doesn't return any errors, you can pass it into
// Engine.load()

    release()

    parse (sourceCodeString)    // parses some code, returning an error if there is one
    reset()                     // clears the program object for re-use
    getSyntaxTree (moduleName)  // returns a JSON representation of the full syntax tree of the program
    getBinaryModule()           // returns a conpact binary representation of the program which can be
                                // used in place of the source code for faster loading and obfuscation

// These functions allow you to use timers, following the standard javascript timer API:

function setInterval (callback, milliseconds)
function setTimeout (callback, milliseconds)
function clearInterval (timerID)
