NAME
Parse::RandGen::Grammar - Module for defining a language/protocol grammar
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this module is to build a grammar description that can then be used to build:
(1) a parser using Parse::RecDescent
(2) a stimulus generator that creates valid (and interesting invalid) tests of the grammer.
Be aware of the greediness of the underlying parsing mechanism (RecDescent). See Parse::RandGen::Production for examples on how greediness can affect errors in grammars.
METHODS
new
Creates a new grammar. The grammar name is the only required argument.
name
Return the name of the grammar.
rule
Access an existing Rule object by name. Returns undef if the Rule is not found.
defineRule
Define a Rule if not already defined and return a reference to the Rule.
dump
Returns a dump of the Grammar object in Parse::RecDescent grammar format.
