SPVM::Document::Language::SyntaxParsing - Syntax Parsing in the SPVM Language

Description

This document describes the grammer of the SPVM language and syntax parsing.

Syntax Parsing

Syntax parsing is the step to build an AST.

Thie step is just after tokenization.

Syntax parsing is performed according to the grammer of the SPVM language.

Grammer

The grammer of the SPVM language is described using GNU Bison syntax.

Operator Precidence

The operator precidence in the SPVM language is described using GNU Bison syntax.

The bottom is the highest precidence and the top is the lowest precidence.

The operator precidence can be increased using ().

#  a * b is calculated at first
a * b + c

# b + c is calculated at first
a * (b + c)
