2 Like recursive-descent but parser can predict which production to use By looking at the next fewtokens No backtracking Predictive parsers accept LL(k) grammars L means left-to-right scan of input L means leftmost derivation k means predict based on k tokens of lookahead In practice, LL(1) is used

3 In recursive descent, At each step, many choices of production touse Backtracking used to undo badchoices In LL(1), At each step, only one choice of production That is: When a non-terminal A is leftmost in a derivation The next input symbol is t There is either a unique production A α to use Or no production to use (an error state)

4 Recall the grammar Hard to predict because For T two productions start with int For E itis not clear how to predict We need to left-factor the grammar

5 Recall the grammar Factor out common prefixes of productions

6 Choose the alternative that correctlyleft factors if statements in the given grammar EXPR if true then {EXPR } if false then { EXPR} iftrue then { EXPR } else { EXPR } iffalse then { EXPR } else { EXPR } EXPR if BOOL then { EXPR} if BOOL then { EXPR } else { EXPR} BOOL EXPR EXPR BOOL true false EXPR EXPR else { EXPR} if BOOL then { EXPR} true false EXPR if BOOLEXPR EXPR then { EXPR} then { EXPR } else { EXPR} BOOL true false EXPR EXPR BOOL if BOOL then { EXPR } EXPR else { EXPR } true false

7 Choose the alternative that correctlyleft factors if statements in the given grammar EXPR if true then {EXPR } if false then { EXPR} iftrue then { EXPR } else { EXPR } iffalse then { EXPR } else { EXPR } EXPR if BOOL then { EXPR} if BOOL then { EXPR } else { EXPR} BOOL EXPR EXPR BOOL true false EXPR EXPR else { EXPR} if BOOL then { EXPR} true false EXPR if BOOLEXPR EXPR then { EXPR} then { EXPR } else { EXPR} BOOL true false EXPR EXPR BOOL if BOOL then { EXPR } EXPR else { EXPR } true false

8 Left-factored grammar E TX T (E) int Y The LL(1) parsing table: X + E Y * T next input token int * + ( ) $ E T X T X X + E T int Y ( E ) Y * T leftmost non-terminal rhs of production to use

9 Consider the [E, int] entry When current non-terminal is E and next input is int, use production E TX This can generate an int in the first position int * + ( ) $ E T X T X X + E T int Y ( E ) Y * T

10 Consider the [Y,+] entry When current non-terminal is Y and current token is +, get rid of Y Y can be followed by + only if Y int * + ( ) $ E T X T X X + E T int Y ( E ) Y * T

11 Blank entries indicate error situations Consider the [E,*] entry There is no way to derive a string starting with* from non-terminal E int * + ( ) $ E T X T X X + E T int Y ( E ) Y * T

12 Method similar to recursive descent,except For the leftmost non-terminal S We look at the next input tokena And choose the production shown at [S,a] A stack records frontier of parse tree Non-terminals that have yet to beexpanded Terminals that have yet to matched against theinput Top of stack = leftmost pending terminal or non-terminal Reject on reaching error state Accept on end of input &empty stack

13 initialize stack = <S $> and next repeat case stack of <X, rest> : if T[X,*next] = Y 1 Y n then stack <Y 1 Y n rest>; else error (); <t, rest> : if t == *next ++ then stack <rest>; else error (); until stack == < >

14 initialize stack = <S $> and next repeat case stack of <X, rest> : if T[X,*next] = Y 1 Y n then stack <Y 1 Y n rest>; else error (); <t, rest> : if t == *next ++ then stack <rest>; else error (); until stack == < > For terminal t on top of stack, check t matches next input token. $ marks bottom of stack For non-terminal X on top of stack, look up production Pop X, push production rhs on stack. Note leftmost symbol of rhs is on top of the stack.

27 Compilers First Sets AlexAiken

28 First Sets Consider non-terminal A, productiona, & token t T[A,t] = in twocases: If * t can derive a t inthe first position We say that t First( ) If A and * and S * A t Useful if stack has A, input is t, and A cannot derive t In this case only option is to get rid of A (by deriving ) Can work only if t can follow A in at least one derivation We say t Follow(A) AlexAiken

29 First Sets Definition First(X) = { t X * t } { X * } Algorithm sketch: 1. First(t) = {t} 2. First(X) if X if X A 1 A n and First(A i ) for 1 i n 3. First( ) First(X) if X A 1 A n and First(A i ) for 1 i n AlexAiken

30 First Sets Recall the grammar AlexAiken

32 Follow Sets Definition: Follow(X) = { t S * X t } Intuition If X A B then First(B) Follow(A) and Follow(X) Follow(B) if B * then Follow(X) Follow(A) If S is the start symbol then $ Follow(S) AlexAiken

35 Compilers LL(1) Parsing Tables

36 LL(1) Parsing Tables Construct a parsing table T for CFG G For each production A in G do: For each terminal t First( ) do T[A, t] = If First( ), for each t Follow(A) do T[A, t] = If First( ) and $ Follow(A) do T[A, $] =

37 E TX T (E ) int Y X + E Y * T LL(1) Parsing Tables int * + ( ) $ E T X T X X + E T int Y ( E ) Y * T

38 S S a b First( S ) = { b } Follow( S ) = { $, a } LL(1) Parsing Tables S a b $ b,sa

39 LL(1) Parsing Tables If any entry is multiply defined then G is not LL(1) If G is ambiguous If G is left recursive If G is not left-factored And in other cases as well Most programming language CFGs are not LL(1)

40 LL(1) Grammars LL(1) grammars == they have no multiply-defined entries in the parsing table. Properties of LL(1) grammars: Grammar can t be ambiguous or left recursive Grammar is LL(1) when for all A 1. First( ) First( ) = ; besides, only one of or can derive 2. if derives, then Follow(A) First( ) = Note: It may not be possible for a grammar to be manipulated into an LL(1) grammar
