Currently the example really looks like C. Instead of a union of
structs to implement the AST, use a hierarchy. It would be nice to
feature a C++17 version with std variants.
* examples/c++/glr/c++-types.yy (Node, free_node, new_nterm)
(new_term): Move into...
* examples/c++/glr/ast.hh: here, a proper C++ hierarchy.
A glr_state keeps tracks of its predecessor using an offset relative
to itself (i.e., pointer subtraction). Unfortunately we sometimes
have to compute offsets for pointers that live in different
containers, in particular in yyfillin. In that case there is no
reason for the distance between the two objects to be a multiple of
the object size (0x40 on my machine), and the resulting ptrdiff_t may
be "wrong", i.e., it does allow to recover one from the other. We
cannot use "typed" pointer arithmetics here, the Euclidean division
has it wrong. So use "plain" char* pointers.
Fixes 718 (Duplicate representation of merged trees: glr2.cc) and
examples/c++/glr/c++-types.
Still XFAIL:
712: Improper handling of embedded actions and dollar(-N) in GLR parsers: glr2.cc
730: Incorrectly initialized location for empty right-hand side in GLR: glr2.cc
748: Incorrect lookahead during nondeterministic GLR: glr2.cc
* data/skeletons/glr2.cc (glr_state::as_pointer_): New.
(glr_state::pred): Use it.
* examples/c++/glr/c++-types.test: The test passes.
* tests/glr-regression.at (Duplicate representation of merged trees:
glr2.cc): Passes.
Currently this example crashes on input such as "T (x) + y;".
The same example with glr.c works properly.
* examples/c++/glr/Makefile, examples/c++/glr/README.md,
* examples/c++/glr/c++-types.test, examples/c++/glr/c++-types.yy,
* examples/c++/glr/local.mk, examples/c++/local.mk: New.
Based on examples/c/glr/c++-types.y.
