Let's use GNU readline and its TAB autocompletion to demonstrate the
use of yyexpected_tokens.
This shows a number of weaknesses in our current approach:
- some macros (yyssp, etc.) from push parsers "leak" in user code, we
need to undefine them
- the context needed by yyexpected_tokens does not need the token,
yypstate actually suffices
- yypstate is not properly setup when first allocated, which results
in a crash of yyexpected_tokens if fired before a first token was
read. We should move initialization from yypush_parse into
yypstate_new.
* examples/c/bistromathic/parse.y (yylex): Take input as a string, not
a file.
(EXIT): New token.
(input): Adjust to work only on a line.
(line): Remove.
(symbol_count, process_line, expected_tokens, completion)
(init_readline): New.
* examples/c/bistromathic/bistromathic.test: Adjust expectations.
This example will soon use GNU readline, so its scanner should be easy
to use (concurrently) on strings, not streams. This is not a place
where Flex shines, and anyway, these are examples of Bison, not Flex.
There's already lexcalc and reccalc that demonstrate the use of Flex.
* examples/c/bistromathic/scan.l: Remove.
* examples/c/bistromathic/parse.y (yylex): New.
Adjust dependencies.
The bistromathic example should not use Flex, it makes it too complex.
But it was the only example to show location tracking with Flex.
* examples/c/lexcalc/lexcalc.test, examples/c/lexcalc/parse.y,
* examples/c/lexcalc/scan.l: Demonstrate location tracking as is done
in bistromathic.
Add an example to demonstrate the use of push parser. I'm pleasantly
surprised: parse.error=detailed works like a charm with push parsers.
* examples/c/local.mk, examples/c/pushcalc/Makefile
* examples/c/pushcalc/README.md, examples/c/pushcalc/calc.test,
* examples/c/pushcalc/calc.y, examples/c/pushcalc/local.mk:
New.
Currently we have no simple example: rpcalc in reverse Polish, mfcalc
has functions, and lexcalc is using lex.
* examples/c/calc/Makefile, examples/c/calc/calc.y,
* examples/c/calc/calc.test, examples/c/calc/local.mk: New.
Convert some of the READMEs to Markdown, which is now more common, and
nicely displayed in some git hosting services.
Add missing READMEs and Makefiles. Generate XML, HTML and Dot files. Be
sure to ship the test files. Complete CLEANFILES to remove all generated
files.
* examples/calc++: Move into...
* examples/c++: here.
* examples/mfcalc, examples/rpcalc: Move into...
* examples/c: here.
* examples/README.md, examples/c++/calc++/Makefile, examples/c/local.mk,
* examples/c/mfcalc/Makefile, examples/c/rpcalc/Makefile,
* examples/d/README.md, examples/java/README.md:
New files.
* examples/test (medir): Be robust to deeper directory nesting.
