LALR Parser:

Rule Table - Contains definitions of production rules within the grammar.

Attributes:

  • Count - Number of production rules in the table

Child items:

  • Rule

Rule - Defines a given production rule in the grammar.  Each production rule has a Left Hand Side (LHS) which is a single non-terminal) and a Right Hand Side (RHS), which can be a mix of terminals and non-terminals.  This structure can be used to determine how many and which symbols to pop off the parser stack during a reduction.  The LHS symbol must be placed on the parser stack to complete the rule reduction.

Attributes:

  • Index - Unique identifier of rule in the rule table
  • NonTerminalIndex - Provides the index for the non-terminal symbol (LHS) in the symbol table.
  • Symbol Count - number of symbols in the RHS of the production

Child items:

  • Rule Symbol

Rule Symbol - Defines a terminal or non-terminal in the RHS of the rule.  Symbols are listed in order of appearance on the RHS (from leftmost to rightmost). 

Attributes:

  • SymbolIndex - Provides the index into the symbol table for the particular symbol on the RHS of the production

LALR Table - This structure represents the LALR parse table.  Recall from class that the LALR table has symbols (terminals and non-terminals) on its X-Axis and LALR states on its Y-Axis (refer to class slides).  This table is defined in terms of states, which call out the appropriate symbols that are applicable to that state.

Attributes:

  • Count - Total number of LALR states in the table
  • Initial State - Start state for the parser (nominally state 0)

Child items:

  • LALR State

LALR State - This item defines a given state in the LALR parse table.  Each state is mapped to one or more symbols.  For each mapping, an action is specified (shift, reduce, goto, or accept).  If a state does not reference a symbol, then no action is specified when the parser is in that state and the symbol is at the front of the input queue-in short, this is a parser error.

Attributes:

  • Index - State number within the table
  • Action count - Number of actions associated with a given state (at least one)

Child items:

  • LALR Action

LALR Action - This item defines the action for a given state-symbol pair.  Since the LALR Action is a child of LALR State, all listed actions are associated with the parent state.  Each pair will have a single mapping associated with it of type:  shift, reduce, goto, or accept. 

Attributes:

  • SymbolIndex - The index of the symbol mapped to the LALR state for this action.
  • Action - The type of action being accomplished.  Actions:  1- Shift, 2- Reduce, 3 - Goto, 4 - Accept.
  • Value - The meaning of this value is dependent on the action type.  For a shift or goto action, the value refers to the next LALR state.  For a reduce action, the value refers to the rule index in the Rule Table.  For an accept action, the value is meaningless (nominally 0) as it ends the parsing process for a given statement.

 

 

 

Best Programming Strategy:

  • Mimic the GPB XML structure
  • Implement each structure that has items as an array of objects
