|
|
Goyacc is a version of yacc for Go.
|
|
It is written in Go and generates parsers written in Go.
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
goyacc args...
|
|
|
|
It is largely transliterated from the Inferno version written in Limbo
|
|
which in turn was largely transliterated from the Plan 9 version
|
|
written in C and documented at
|
|
|
|
https://9p.io/magic/man2html/1/yacc
|
|
|
|
Adepts of the original yacc will have no trouble adapting to this
|
|
form of the tool.
|
|
|
|
The directory $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goyacc/testdata/expr
|
|
is a yacc program for a very simple expression parser. See expr.y and
|
|
main.go in that directory for examples of how to write and build
|
|
goyacc programs.
|
|
|
|
The generated parser is reentrant. The parsing function yyParse expects
|
|
to be given an argument that conforms to the following interface:
|
|
|
|
type yyLexer interface {
|
|
Lex(lval *yySymType) int
|
|
Error(e string)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Lex should return the token identifier, and place other token
|
|
information in lval (which replaces the usual yylval).
|
|
Error is equivalent to yyerror in the original yacc.
|
|
|
|
Code inside the grammar actions may refer to the variable yylex,
|
|
which holds the yyLexer passed to yyParse.
|
|
|
|
Clients that need to understand more about the parser state can
|
|
create the parser separately from invoking it. The function yyNewParser
|
|
returns a yyParser conforming to the following interface:
|
|
|
|
type yyParser interface {
|
|
Parse(yyLex) int
|
|
Lookahead() int
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Parse runs the parser; the top-level call yyParse(yylex) is equivalent
|
|
to yyNewParser().Parse(yylex).
|
|
|
|
Lookahead can be called during grammar actions to read (but not consume)
|
|
the value of the current lookahead token, as returned by yylex.Lex.
|
|
If there is no current lookahead token (because the parser has not called Lex
|
|
or has consumed the token returned by the most recent call to Lex),
|
|
Lookahead returns -1. Calling Lookahead is equivalent to reading
|
|
yychar from within in a grammar action.
|
|
|
|
Multiple grammars compiled into a single program should be placed in
|
|
distinct packages. If that is impossible, the "-p prefix" flag to
|
|
goyacc sets the prefix, by default yy, that begins the names of
|
|
symbols, including types, the parser, and the lexer, generated and
|
|
referenced by yacc's generated code. Setting it to distinct values
|
|
allows multiple grammars to be placed in a single package.
