Revision history for Perl extension Eyapp.
1.21 Wed Jun 14 2017
* Bug Fix, Require Parse::Yapp v1.2, CPAN Version Dependencies
1.2 Wed Jun 14 2017
* First Release In Over 5 Years,
How's That For Medium-Term Stability?!? :-)
* Bug Fix, Unescaped Left Curly Braces { In Regular Expressions,
Fatal Since Perl v5.25.1
* Typo Fixes, POD Spelling
* Misc Minor Updates
1.179
* No syntactic auxiliary variable will be introduced in the %PREC positions.
* Modified the LR parser algorithm:
* The arguments for the 'code' handler are the parser itself and the conflict name.
* bug in notation x.y and $x related with explorers
* two tests with examples/debuggingtut/AmbiguousLanguage2.eyp
* tests for perlident in conflict syntaxes using a parser that is in a different directory than the main parser
* tests for syntax:
%conflict ToN EMPTY? TYPE:VAR : NAME:VAR
* tests for syntax
%conflict decORexp /regexp/? ID:DEC : ID:EXP
1.178
* Syntax:
%conflict ToN EMPTY? TYPE:VAR : NAME:VAR
see examples/debuggingtut/reducereduceconflictPPCR2.eyp
1.177
* "Contextual tokens" syntax with nested parsing introduced:
- %token if = %/(if)(?!\s*=)/
- %token if = %/(if)\b/ !Assign2
* Added syntax %token = %/regexp/ meaning a contextual token. One that is returned
only if expected by the syntax anañyzer.
%token then = %/(then)\b/
%token if = %/(if)(?!\s*=)/
%token ID = /([a-zA-Z_]\w*)/
See grammar t/PL_I_conflictContextualTokens.eyp
* Provided syntax:
%dummy token TUTU
Meaning that the token will never be emited by the lexical generator.
See t/dummytoken.eyp
%syntactic token IF = /(?i:if)/
%syntactic token ELSE = /(?i:else)/
%syntactic token THEN = /(?i:then)/
%token EXPR = /(?i:(e))/
%token OTHERSTMT = /(?i:(o))/
%dummy token TUTU
* Added to t/77lexicalanalyzergeneration.t a test that uses t/PL_I_conflictContextualTokens.eyp
to check the syntax
%token X = { code }
%token then = { $self->expects('then') and /\Gthen\b/gc and return ('then', 'then'); }
%token if = { $self->expects('if') and /\Gif(?!\s*=)/gc and return ('if', 'if'); }
%token ID = /([a-zA-Z_]\w*)/
See t/PL_I_conflictContextualTokens.eyp
* Provided a higher level API for conflicts that can be solved using nested parsing:
Cplusplusnested.eyp:
%conflict decORexp decl? ID:DEC : ID:EXP
It means: Check for nested parser "decl" if success, reduce by 'ID:DEC', otherwise
reduce by 'ID:EXP'
pascalnestedeyapp3_6.eyp:
%conflict rORe range? ID:RANGE : ID:ENUM
DebugDynamicResolution4.eyp:
%conflict LD lastD? D:LAST : shift
It means: Check for nested parser "lastD" if success, reduce by 'D:LAST', otherwise
shift
* YYSetReduce can work without specifying the token set
* YYSetShift can work without specifying the token set
1.176
* A shift-reduce conflict example solved with 'pure' PPCR in DebugdynamicResolution4.eyp
* %conflict C symbol? prod : prod
- symbol is no necessarily a symbol of the grammar
- VIEWPOINT in the body, i.e. symbol? must be optional.
In such case the nested parsing is made inside the conflict solver
See lastD.eyp and DebugDynamicResolution4
* Tests in t/88explorer.t for the new %explorer and %conflict syntax!
- DebugDynamicResolution.eyp
- dynamicgrammar1.eyp
- reducereduceconflictPPCR.eyp
- ExpList.eyp, reuseconflicthandler.eyp, noPackratSolvedExpRGconcept.eyp
- CplusplusNested.eyp
- pascalnestedeyapp3_5.eypp
* Conflict resolution syntax:
%conflict rORe range? ID:RANGE ID:ENUM
* No warnings with -c in
eyapp -C CplusplusStartOption
check this bug!!!!
Make a test! 85minusSoption.t
May be the nested parser can be embedded in the same module generated without requiring
a second compilation with -S start -P
1.175
- Tests for png
1.174
- eyapp -S C etc. will generates a %start C directive and warnings will be supressed
if no -m the default will be "decl.pm" i.e. the start symbol will name the module
1.173
-- Merged PPCR branch with trunk
-- option for main to produce .png version of the AST
-- png for .output also: options -w and -W
-- improved $t->png to include attribute info
-- $t->png: order of the children is respected
1.171
* .dot file describing the LR tables generated with options -w and -W
- Option -W visualize with kernel items
- Option -w visualize without kernel items
- visualize conflicts
* vgg removed
* dynamicgrammar. There was a bug
check inside YYSetReduce if the next states is a truly conflict state
save the conflict states at compile time
and send them to the parser,
then inside YYsetReduce, check that the next state is inside
the listed conflict states
* $t->png etc. for trees implemented
1.170
* Expected and language generation for article
* add to YYPreParse one option for debugging the preparsing.
idem for other options
* GeneratorF.eyp forbid division by zero error in the generated expressions
*TokenGen::generate
Check for existence of arg yylex or set to reasonable defaults
* Write Test::LectroTest::Generator::Grammar
*YYSymbolStack: there is no need to copy the stack each time.
Saving the position is enough
* add parsing strings and trees as a test
* An important bug while computing YYExpected was fixed
* Added data generation as a test
1.169
* Clusplus example. Start from the documentation. For Luis
see file tt2/cplusplus
* This important bug was fixed:
There is s.t. wrong in reuseconflicthandler.eyp and
noPackratSolvedExpRGconcept.eyp. why is it that we have to specify
a reduction by 'end of input' when there is no conflict for such
token?????
* test t/80 with Cplusplus
1.167
Bug solved:
my $ID = qr{...};
token ID = /$ID/
the code for my $ID went after the lexer. That was an error.
* Syntax for conflicts include an explorer (pre-parser/nested parsing)
T: %isInTheMiddle? S
;
S:
x %PREC isInTheMiddle S x
| %name :MIDx
x %PREC isInTheMiddle
;
1.165
* New syntax %explorer CONFLICTNAME { ... }
See examples in examples/debuggintut
noPackratSolvedExpRGconcept.eyp
* t/66yydebugstandaloneandpod.t: test debug mode and output of "stack symbols"
* Removed pushing the token values in the stack. Keep it only while debugging
* Removed (temporary) -S option from eyapp
* Test t/80ppcr.t checks PPCR with YYPreParse
* Original API for PPCR deprecated:
- # sub YYLookBothWays {
- # sub YYSymbolStack {
1.156
* given explicit precedence to tokens
%token LASTSEMICOLON /(;)(?=S)/
%token ';'
* bug fixed: YYPrefix and main method (info methods did not work if YYPrefix was active)
1.155
* A default lexer is built that can be used when no lexer is provided
* eyapp -v option implies -N option
* YYSymbolStack(0,-k) string with symbols from 0 to last-k
YYSymbolStack(-k-2,-k) string with symbols from last-k-2 to last-k
YYSymbolStack(-k-2,-k, filter) string with symbols from last-k-2 to last-k
where filter can be code, regexp or string
YYSymbolStack('SYMBOL',-k, filter) string with symbols from the last occurrence of SYMBOL to last-k
where filter can be code, regexp or string
* - Now YYSymbol(-k) provides the symbol associated with the k-th state
from the top of the parsing stack
- The debug format (yydebug activated) shows the transition symbols in the stack
- The parsing stack stores the transition symbols
- See file code/reducereduceconflictPPCR.eyp for a way to use it when solving conflicts
* There was a bug in the tree directive when there was a token
with name 'something' and a syntax variable with the same name
something. Seems fixed. See t/75tokenandvariablewiththesamename.t
* Added option -N (nocompact) to eyapp.
The compacted output info about conflicts in the .output file isn't
detailed enough. It does not describes in full detail which tokens
and productions are involved
* Labels only after %name accepted
* -B prompt eyapp option added
* -yml option in Parse::Eyapp::Driver::main to dump YAML
* -C option == -B '' and -b ''
* While %lexer provides $self, %conflict did not. Now consistent. $self is
$_[0] (but the arg isn't shifted)
* option -T for eyapp
* #line in dynamic conflict handlers
* Ambiguous calc example: exp: exp '-' exp with precedences dynamically changed by the user (LEFT, RIGHT).
See file: examples/debuggintut/dynamicgrammar.eyp
1.154
* option to define the info function (for array and plain scalars)
1.153
* %expect-rr
* labels and names %name in recycle fixed. See example examples/recycle/rewritepostfixwithactions.pl
1.152
* Parse::Eyapp::Base was removed from standalone parsers
* lexer, input and error as static/class attributes and inheritance
* Parse::Eyapp::TailSupport embedded in Driver
* if lex or error are already set don't ask for then in YYParse
* label for names %name B:A (label is A, name is B). A conflict can refer to
the name:label but the class is 'name'
* Dynamic conflict resolution:
%conflict CONFLICTIDENTIFIER { # conflict solver
if (is_A()) { $self->YYSetReduce('@', 'ruleA') }
else { $self->YYSetShift('@') }
}
A: alpha %PREC CONFLICTIDENTIFIER
1.137
%nocompact
This directive disables the optimization of using the DEFAULT field of the actiontable
and keeps the follows. Is in Lalr.pm in sub _SetDefaults.
1.136
%namingscheme : defines an automatic naming cheme
1.134 - -b now set the permits. Useful to make a modulino
1.121 - Standalone wasn't working: Parse::Eyapp::Base must be included
1.118 - new with yyprefix
- Avoided dependence of List::MoreUtils. It broke Eyapp in some architectures
1.112 - Hal Finkel's patch for alias
1.107 - Option lib in treereg
1.106 Thu jan 17 09:31:24 WET 2008
- Documentation of Parsse::Eyapp::Base
- pop_method does not modifies the methods when its stack is empty
1.104 Mon jan 14 18:42:11 WET 2008
- Base.pm expanded with pus_method and pop_method. Documentation for Base.pm

0.05 Thu Jul 03 20:05:05 1998
- Add LeftValue, Curtok and Curval methods
0.06 Tue Jul 07 20:36:17 GMT 1998
- Error token '$error' becomes 'error' (like in yacc)
- The '$end' token becomes ''
0.07 Never released
- Default action become a separate entry in states hash
- $COMPATIBLE value changed to 0.08
- The grammar parser is now a Yapp parser module
- Comments can be either Perl (#...\n) or C /* ... */ style
- The parser accepts %type, %union and <type> constructs and
almost ignore them, except checking consistency between token
and non-terminal declarations (warnings)
- The parser now has error recovery and consistent error line numbers
- The parser now accepts "in rule" actions and generates pseudo
empty rules to reduce, named @x-y, where x is a sequential
number and y the 'dot position' in the rule for the driver
to know how many parameters to pass to semantic action sub
- Add "in rule" actions handling in Driver.pm
- Empty rhs need not be the first one anymore
- Warning if more than one empty rhs for a given lhs
0.08 Fri Jul 10 22:04:31 GMT 1998

- Use of literal 'error' produces a warning and is treated as
the error token
- Add prefix 'YY' before each parser object methods to avoid
clashes with user written methods
- Renamed YYUserData to YYData (shorter and more consistent with
other methods names)
- Renamed YYLeftVal to YYSemval for same reasons
- Modified Driver.pm so Semval(-n..n) reacts like $-n..$n in yacc

- Changed test suite to 't/' style and add base tests for semantic
actions/values and associativity tests
- Check code to be (almost) Perl's -w compatible
- Updates to pod section in Yapp.pm reflecting most of those changes

- Renaming to Parse::Yapp for better CPAN entry...
0.14 Wed Jul 29 21:43:03 GMT 1998
- Doc change: empty token is '', not undef (perl -w complains otherwise)
- Bug in _ReduceGrammar: used $ruleno instead of $#{$grammar{RULES}}
making no-terminal pointing to wrong rhs if useless rules.
0.15 Mon Aug 17 11:39:01 CEST 1998
- YappParse.yp modified to allow empty tail section (not even \n)
- YappParse.yp modified to diagnose lack of rules in grammar section
- Driver.pm has been modified so there is no performance impact at
loading when debugging is not used and to insure thread safety at
runtime
- Output.pm can now include driver code into the parser module to
make it 'standalone'
- Copyright notice in Driver has been changed to reflect its use
if included in a standalone parser
- A -s option has been added to yapp.pl to generate standalone parsers
- Usage in yapp.pl reflects this new option
- Updated Yapp.pm pod to add Standalone Parsers item
0.16 Sun Oct 25 12:36:05 CET 1998
- Output.pm modified not to use DATA handle, which seems broken on windows
systems when Parse::Yapp module is untarred and Output.pm hasn't its \n
converted to \r\n pairs.
- Added the %expect declaration, a la bison
- Updated Yapp.pm pod to reflect this new option
- The core of Parse::Yapp seems very stable now so I change the status from
alpha to beta and jump to version 0.20 directly.
0.20 Sun Dec 20 16:13:21 CET 1998
- Added YYExpect method in Parse/Yapp/Driver.pm
- Updated Yapp.pm pod to reflect this new method
- Modified Makefile.PL for using current Parse::Yapp version if recompiling
Parse/Yapp/Parse.pm from YappParse.yp ( $(PERL) -I. )
- Modified yapp.pl to add -V option and make output default to final name
of package, if -m option is specified. Usage updated.
- Added missing $@ check after eval of debugging driver.
0.21 Thu Dec 24 17:55:47 GMT 1998
- Corrected a weird bug in Lalr.pm (_SolveConflicts & _SetDefaults) about
shift/reduce conflicts on non-associative tokens
- Added a test in base.t to check non-associative conflicts and error
token handling
- Added some doc to explain YYExpect can include YYCurtok when non-associ-
ative errors happen
0.22 Wed Mar 10 17:03:39 CET 1999
- Moved Parse path tree under lib to be conformant with standard Perl
modules distributions
- Added Parse::Yapp::Options class as parent of Parse::Yapp::Grammar
to handle various options.
- As the Output method is not really 'public' yet, it now takes its
arguments as hash list, like YYParse. Can break code of people not
using the yapp.pl front-end.
Of course, its arguments are handled by Parse::Yapp::Options
- Added #line "inputfile" trace in generated grammar by default for input
source line numbers (obvious reason for adding that :-).
- Added language, linenumbers, inputfile, classname, standalone and input
options which default to ( 'Perl', 1, undef, 'Parser', 0, undef )
- Modified yapp.pl for new parameter list
- Idem for t/base.t and t/calc.t
- Modified Grammar.pm so it uses linenumbers option to know it must output
line numbers and inputfile as the filename. If inputfile is undef, then
use 'unkown'.
- Added a new flag -n to yapp.pl to disable line numbers in parser output
- Renamed yapp.pl to yapp (bored of typing .pl)
- Wrote pod for yapp frontend (so now there's a man 1 page !)
- Added article in copyright notice when using the standalone parser option
0.30 Sat Apr 3 15:36:58 CEST 1999
- Corrected a silly bug in yapp front-end, calling Output method with
inputfile parameter, which was already done with the constructor
- Change to yapp frontend so the F<*.output> file goes to the same
directory than the F<*.yp> source file
- Corrected Head method in Parse::Yapp::Grammar so it returns '' if there
is no header code, to avoid a warning with perl's -w switch
- Same for Tail method, so no line number is output if there is no trailer
code
- Corrected a bug in Grammar.pm, to make useful rules useless if their lhs
are not reachable.
0.31 Fri May 7 21:06:32 CEST 1999
- Won some milliseconds in Driver.pm by not calling an anonymous sub if
there is no semantic action: just get the first semantic value as result
- Added a patch from Andy Wardley (thanks) which allow people to specify
their own template rather than the standard one from Output.pm
- Added option C<-b> to yapp to specify a 'shebang'. If value is an empty
string, $Config{perlpath} is used.
1.00 Wed Oct 20 17:52:38 CEST 1999
- Corrected a bug in Options.pm to have it run with Perl 5.6.0
1.01 Tue Mar 28 18:50:19 CEST 2000
- In YappParse.yp, if declaring a token with %left/%right/%nonassoc and
later redefining it with token lost precedence/associativity. Now, it
emits a warning
- In Lalr.pm, _FirstSfx, incorrectly looped when epsilon was in firstset
instead of beeing nullable (this one was weird)
- In Driver.pm, check for a call to YYErrok after calling error routine
to abort error recovery and continue normal parsing
- New method YYLexer added in Driver.pm, to get a reference to the lexer
routine
- In Driver.pm, $check variable was not always cleaned up
1.02 Mon May 1 13:42:03 CEST 2000
- English corrections in README file (thanks to Donald Lancon)
- New email address
- Updated copyright boundaries
- Various cleanups in Grammar.pm and Lalr.pm
1.03 Sun Nov 5 13:14:49 CEST 2000
- In Lalr.pm, _Preds, recursivity removed
- English corrections in Parse::Yapp pod section (thanks to Julian Trudy)
- Updated copyright boundaries
- Stress test added (compile and check a full C++ grammar)
1.04 Mon Feb 12 16:46:37 CET 2001
- Bug correction in YappParse.yp _Lexer sub to accept '\\' litterals
(Thanks to Denis Barbier to catch this one)
1.05 Sun Nov 4 20:32:32 CET 2001
