LL(1) parser implemented with stack: how to build AST?

纵饮孤独 提交于 2021-01-02 06:08:25
问题 I am currently building a parser by hand. It is a LL(1) parser. At the moment, it is a great recognizer: its function parse(List tokens) decides whether or not tokens is a member of the language or not. Now, I want to build the corresponding AST for that input. However, I know how to implement it in a recursive descent way (already did it). That is, for the challenge, I implement my stack using a stack with the classical algorithm: next <- first token of the input stack <- START_SYMBOL do {

Purpose of FIRST and FOLLOW sets in LL(1) parsers?

问题 Can anyone explain to me how FIRST and FOLLOW should be used in LL(1) grammar? I understand that they are used for syntax table construction, but I don't understand how. 回答1: In an LL(1) parser, the parser works by maintaining a workspace initially seeded to the start symbol followed by the end-of-string marker (usually denoted $). At each step, it does one of the following: If the first symbol of the workspace is a terminal, it matches it against the next token of input (or reports an error

问题 Closed . This question needs to be more focused. It is not currently accepting answers. Want to improve this question? Update the question so it focuses on one problem only by editing this post. Closed 2 years ago . I need an algorithm to computing FIRST and FOLLOW sets for a grammar. Is there a simple algorithm or simple code for computing these? 回答1: The standard algorithm for computing FIRST and FOLLOW sets is discussed in most compiler textbooks and books on parsing algorithms. I would be

Parse function call with PyParsing

妖精的绣舞 提交于 2020-01-23 10:47:12
问题 I'm trying to parse a simple language. The trouble comes with parsing function calls. I'm trying to tell it that a function call is an expression followed by left parenthesis, argument list, and right parenthesis. I have something like this: expr = Forward() iden = Word(alphas+'_', alphanums+'_') integer = Word(nums) binop = operatorPrecedence(expr, ...) # irrevelant call = expr + Literal('(') + delimitedList(expr) + Literal(')') expr << call | integer | iden The problem is obvious: expr is

LL(1) table-driven compilers with ANTLR or ANTLR3

梦想的初衷 提交于 2020-01-15 10:59:14
问题 Is it possible to create a LL(1) table-driven (non-recursive) compiler with ANTLR or ANTLR3 ? 回答1: No. However since ANTLR is open source you could modify a fork of ANTLR to do it. ANTLR builds lexers and parsers as recursive descent source code. This is why ANTLR is easy to use and popular because people can look at the source code and understand how the lexer and parser work versus looking at table entries. Because it is source code, one can also use tools to debug the source code. If ANTLR

Operator associativity using Scala Parsers

蓝咒 提交于 2020-01-11 07:11:07
问题 So I've been trying to write a calculator with Scala's parser, and it's been fun, except that I found that operator associativity is backwards, and that when I try to make my grammar left-recursive, even though it's completely unambiguous, I get a stack overflow. To clarify, if I have a rule like: def subtract: Parser[Int] = num ~ "-" ~ add { x => x._1._1 - x._2 } then evaluating 7 - 4 - 3 comes out to be 6 instead of 0. The way I have actually implemented this is that I am composing a binary

Relationship between LR(0), LL(0), LALR(1), etc?

冷暖自知 提交于 2020-01-02 06:12:33
问题 I'm really struggling to unterstand the relationship between: LR(0) LL(0) LALR(1) SLR(1) LR(1) LL(1) I'm pretty sure LALR(1) and SLR(1) are subsets of LR(1), but I'm lost about the others. Are they all exclusive? Is LL(0) a subset of LL(1)? Thanks 回答1: The containment rules are the following: Every LR(0) grammar is also SLR(1), but not all SLR(1) grammars are LR(0). Every SLR(1) grammar is also LALR(1), but not all LALR(1) grammars are SLR(1). Every LALR(1) grammar is also LR(1), but not all

Example of an LR grammar that cannot be represented by LL?

你说的曾经没有我的故事 提交于 2020-01-01 04:04:11
问题 All LL grammars are LR grammars, but not the other way around, but I still struggle to deal with the distinction. I'm curious about small examples, if any exist, of LR grammars which do not have an equivalent LL representation. 回答1: Well, as far as grammars are concerned, its easy -- any simple left-recursive grammar is LR (probably LR(1)) and not LL. So a list grammar like: list ::= list ',' element | element is LR(1) (assuming the production for element is) but not LL. Such grammars can be

Difference between an LL and Recursive Descent parser?

隐身守侯 提交于 2019-12-29 10:07:12
问题 I've recently being trying to teach myself how parsers (for languages/context-free grammars) work, and most of it seems to be making sense, except for one thing. I'm focusing my attention in particular on LL(k) grammars , for which the two main algorithms seem to be the LL parser (using stack/parse table) and the Recursive Descent parser (simply using recursion). As far as I can see, the recursive descent algorithm works on all LL(k) grammars and possibly more, whereas an LL parser works on
