make_dparser(1) User Manuals make_dparser(1) NAME make_dparser - D Parser Generator SYNOPSIS make_dparser [options] grammar DESCRIPTION make_dparser is a scannerless GLR parser generator based on the Tomita algorithm. It is self-hosted and very easy to use. Grammars are written in a natural style of EBNF and regular expressions and support both speculative and final actions. OPTIONS -l Toggle longest match lexical ambiguity resolution. When ON the scanner only recognizing the longest matching tokens in a given state. This provides an easy way to build grammars for languages which use longest match lexical ambiguity resolution (e.g. ANSI- C, C++). (OFF by default) -T Toggle building of a tokenizer for START. When ON, instead of generating a unique scanner for each state (i.e. a 'scannerless' parser), generate a single scanner (tokenizer) for the entire grammar. This provides an easy way to build grammars for lan- guages which assume a tokenizer (e.g. ANSI C). (OFF by default) -H -1/0/1 Write header, 0 : no, 1 : yes, -1 : only if not empty. -t 0/1 Token type, 0 : #define, 1 : enum. -C Toggle computing whitespace states. If 'whitespace' is defined in the grammar, then use it as a subparser to consume white- space. (ON by default) -A Toggle computing states for all non-terminals. Ensures that there is a unique state for each non-terminal so that a sub- parsers can be invoked for that non-terminal. (OFF by default) -i tag Tag for grammar data structures so that multiple sets of tables can be included in one file/application. (defaults to 'gram') -b blocks Number of blocks to which scanner tables are broken up into. Larger numbers permit more sharing with more overhead. 4 seems to be optimal for most grammars. (defaults to 4) files. -p Toggle setting of operator priority from rules. Setting of op- erator priorities on operator tokens can increase the size of the tables but can permit unnecessary parse stacks to be pruned earlier. (OFF by default) -r Toggle use of right recursion for EBNF productions. Do not change this unless you really know what you are doing. (OFF by default) -L Toggle writing of line numbers. Used to debug the parsing table generator itself. (ON by default) -X Set the extension of the generated code file. For C++ programs (for example) the extension can be set to .cpp with the option "-Xcpp". ("-Xc" by default) -v Increase verbosity. -R Replace all actions in the grammar with actions printing produc- tions, 1 : during the speculative parsing process (<-), 2 : when reduction is part of any legal final parse (<=), 3 : both, 4 : remove all actions from the grammar. Print the changed grammar to stdout. Useful for debugging or prototyping new, experimen- tal grammars. -d Increase debugging. -h Display help.
