3 Lexical Analyzer Lexical Analyzer reads the source program character by character to produce tokens. strips out comments and whitespaces returns a token when the parser asks for correlates error messages with the source program 3
4 Token A token is a pair of a token name and an optional attribute value. Token name specifies the pattern of the token Attribute stores the lexeme of the token Tokens Keyword: begin, if, else, Identifier: string of letters or digits, starting with a letter Integer: a non-empty string of digits Punctuation symbol:,, ;, (, ), Regular expressions are widely used to specify patterns of the tokens. 4
5 Attributes of Token Information for subsequent compiler phases about the particular lexeme Token name influences parsing decision attribute value influences translation of tokens after the parse Attributes of identifier Lexeme, type, location Stored in symbol table Tricky problem DO 5 I = 1.25 VS. DO 5 I = 1,25 5

8 Input Buffering Why a compiler needs buffers? Buffer Pairs: alternately reload Two pointers lexemebegin forward Sentinels: a mark for buffer end If length of lexeme + look ahead distance > buffer size 8
9 Lookahead with Sentinels 9
10 Terminology of Languages Alphabet: a finite set of symbols ASCII Unicode String: a finite sequence of symbols on an alphabet is the empty string s is the length of string s Concatenation: xy represents x followed by y Exponentiation: s n = s s s.. s ( n times) s 0 = Language: a set of strings over some fixed alphabet the empty set is a language The set of well-formed C programs is a language 10
11 Operations on Languages Union: L 1 L 2 = { s s L 1 or s L 2 } Concatenation: L 1 L 2 = { s 1 s 2 s 1 L 1 L 2 } and s 2 (Kleene) Closure: Positive Closure: L * i0 1 L i i L i L 11
12 Example L 1 = {a,b,c,d} L 2 = {1,2} L 1 L 2 = {a,b,c,d,1,2} L 1 L 2 = {a1,a2,b1,b2,c1,c2,d1,d2} L 1 * = L 1+ = all strings using letters a,b,c,d including the empty string all strings using letters a,b,c,d without the empty string 12
13 Regular Expressions Regular expression is a representation of a language that can be built from the operators applied to the symbols of some alphabet. A regular expression is built up of smaller regular expressions (using defining rules). Each regular expression r denotes a language L(r). A language denoted by a regular expression is called as a regular set. 13
14 Regular Expressions (Rules) Regular expressions over alphabet Reg. Expr a (r 1 ) (r 2 ) L(r 1 ) L(r 2 ) (r 1 ) (r 2 ) L(r 1 ) L(r 2 ) (r) * (L(r)) * (r) L(r) Language it denotes L() = {} L(a) = {a} Extension (r) + = (r)(r) * (L(r)) + Positive closure (r)? = (r) L(r) {} zero or one instance [a 1 -a n ] L(a 1 a 2 a n ) character class 14
15 Regular Expressions (cont.) We may remove parentheses by using precedence rules: * highest concatenation second highest lowest ab* c (a(b) * ) (c) Example: = {0,1} 0 1 => {0,1} (0 1)(0 1) => {00,01,10,11} 0 * => {,0,00,000,0000,...} (0 1) * => all strings with 0 and 1, including the empty string 15
16 Lex regular expression 16
17 Regular Definitions We can give names to regular expressions, and use these names as symbols to define other regular expressions. 17 A regular definition is a sequence of the definitions of the form: d 1 r 1 where d i is a innovative symbol and d 2 r 2 r i is a regular expression over symbols in {d 1,d 2,...,d i-1 } d n r n alphabet previously defined symbols
18 Regular Definitions Example Example: Identifiers in Pascal letter A B... Z a b... z digit id letter (letter digit ) * If we try to write the regular expression representing identifiers without using regular definitions, that regular expression will be complex. (A... Z a... z) ( (A... Z a... z) (0... 9) ) * Q: unsigned numbers (integer or floating point) 18
19 Quiz * 1. All strings of lowercase letters that contain the five vowels in order. 2. All strings of lowercase letters in which the letters are in ascending lexicographic order. 3. Comments, consisting of a string surrounded by /* and */, without an intervening */, unless it is inside doublequotes ( ). [HOMEWORK] 19

22 Transition Diagram * State: represents a condition that could occur during scanning start/initial state: accepting/final state: lexeme found intermediate state: Edge: directs from one state to another, labeled with one or a set of symbols 23

27 Finite Automata A finite automaton is a recognizer that takes a string, and answers yes if the string matches a pattern of a specified language, and no otherwise. * Two kinds: Nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) no restriction on the labels of their edges Deterministic finite automaton (DFA) exactly one edge with a distinguished symbol goes out of each state Both NFA and DFA have the same capability We may use NFA or DFA as lexical analyzer 30
28 Nondeterministic Finite Automaton (NFA) A NFA consists of: S: a set of states Σ: a set of input symbols (alphabet) A transition function: maps state-symbol pairs to sets of states s 0 : a start (initial) state F: a set of accepting states (final states) NFA can be represented by a transition graph Accepts a string x, if and only if there is a path from the starting state to one of accepting states such that edge labels along this path spell out x. Remarks The same symbol can label edges from one state to several different states An edge may be labeled by ε, the empty string 31
29 NFA Example (1) The language recognized by this NFA is (a b) * a b 32
30 NFA Example (2) NFA accepting aa* bb* 33
31 Implementing an NFA S -closure({s 0 }) c nextchar() while (c!= eof) { begin S -closure(move(s,c)) { set all of states can be accessible from s 0 by -transitions } { set of all states can be accessible from a state in S by a transition on c} c nextchar end if (SF!= ) then { if S contains an accepting state } return yes else return no backtrack may be needed to identify the longest match. Subset Construction 34
32 Excise 3 For NFA in the following figure, indicate all the paths labeled aabb. Does the NFA accept aabb? Give the transition table. - (0) -a-> (1) -a-> (2) -b-> (2) -b-> ((3)) (0) -a-> (1) -a-> (2) -b-> (2) -b-> (2) - (0) -a-> (0) -a-> (0) -b-> (0) -b-> (0) (0) -a-> (0) -a-> (1) -b-> (1) -b-> (1) - (0) -a-> (1) -a-> (1) -b-> (1) -b-> (1) (0) -a-> (1) -a-> (2) -b-> (2) -ε-> (0) -b-> (0) - (0) -a-> (1) -a-> (2) -ε-> (0) -b-> (0) -b-> (0) 35
33 Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA) A Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA) is a special form of a NFA. No state has ε- transition For each symbol a and state s, there is at most one a labeled edge leaving s. start The language recognized by this DFA is?(a b) * a b 36
34 Practice * Draw the transition diagram for recognizing the following regular expression a(a b)*a a b b a a a Nondeterministic a a b Deterministic 37
35 Implementing a DFA s s 0 { start from the initial state } c nextchar { get the next character from the input string } while (c!= eof) do { do until the end of the string } begin s move(s,c) { transition function } c nextchar end if (s in F) then { if s is an accepting state } return yes else return no 38
36 NFA vs. DFA Compactibility Readability Speed NFA Good Good Slow DFA Bad Bad Fast DFAs are widely used to build lexical analyzers. Maintaining a set of state is more complex than keeping track a single state. 39 NFA DFA The language recognized (a b) * a b
37 Pop Quiz 1) What are the languages presented by the two FAs? (a) Fixed pattern Solution: 01 strings with length 4, except 0110 Closure a a a a (b) Solution: a(aaaaa)* a 40
38 Content: Outline Basic concepts: pattern, lexeme, and token. Operations on languages, and regular expression Recognition of tokens Finite automata, including NFA and DFA Conversion from regular expression to NFA and DFA Optimization of lexical analyzer 42
39 Regular Expression NFA McNaughton-Yamada-Thompson (MYT) construction Simple and systematic (recursive up the parse tree for the regular expression) Construction starts from the simplest parts (alphabet symbols). For a complex regular expression, subexpressions are combined to create its NFA. Guarantees the resulting NFA will have exactly one final state, and one start state. 43
40 MYT Construction Basic rules: for subexpressions with no operators For expression start i f For a symbol a in the alphabet start i a f 44
41 MYT Construction Cont d Inductive rules: for constructing larger NFAs from the NFAs of subexpressions (Let N(r 1 ) and N(r 2 ) denote NFAs for regular expressions r 1 and r 2, respectively) For regular expression r 1 r 2 start i N(r 1 ) f N(r 2 ) 45
42 MYT Construction Cont d For regular expression r 1 r 2 start i N(r 1 ) N(r 2 ) f For regular expression r * start i N(r) f 46
43 Example: (a b) * a a: b: a b (a b): a b (a b) * : a b (a b) * a: a b a 47 47
44 Properties of the Constructed NFA 1. N(r) has at most twice as many states as there are operators and operands in r. This bound follows from the fact that each step of the algorithm creates at most two new states. 2. N(r) has one start state and one accepting state. The accepting state has no outgoing transitions, and the start state has no incoming transitions. 3. Each state of N(r) other than the accepting state has either one outgoing transition on a symbol in {} or two outgoing transitions, both on. 48
45 Conversion of an NFA to a DFA Approach: Subset Construction each state of the constructed DFA corresponds to a set / combination of NFA states Details 1 Create transition table Dtran for the DFA 2 Insert -closure(s 0 ) to Dstates as initial state 3 Pick a not visited state T in Dstates 4 For each symbol a, Create state -closure(move(t, a)), and add it to Dstates and Dtran 5 Repeat step (3) and (4) until all states in Dstates are visited 49
46 The Subset Construction Simulate in parallel all possible moves NFA can make on the input a 50
47 NFA to DFA Example NFA for (a b) * abb A = -closure({0}) = {0,1,2,4,7} A into DS as an unmarked state mark A -closure(move(a,a)) = -closure({3,8}) = {1,2,3,4,6,7,8} = B B into DS -closure(move(a,b)) = -closure({5}) = {1,2,4,5,6,7} = C C into DS transfunc[a,a] B transfunc[a,b] C mark B -closure(move(b,a)) = -closure({3,8}) = {1,2,3,4,6,7,8} = B -closure(move(b,b)) = -closure({5,9}) = {1,2,4,5,6,7,9} = D transfunc[b,a] B transfunc[b,b] D mark C -closure(move(c,a)) = -closure({3,8}) = {1,2,3,4,6,7,8} = B -closure(move(c,b)) = -closure({5}) = {1,2,4,5,6,7} = C transfunc[c,a] B transfunc[c,b] C 51
48 NFA to DFA Example NFA for (a b) * abb Transition table for DFA Equivalent DFA 4 52
49 Quiz 1 Suppose we have two tokens: (1) the keyword if, and (2) identifiers, which are strings of letters other than if. Show: 1. The NFA for these tokens, and 2. The DFA for these tokens NFA DFA 55
50 Regular Expression DFA First, augment the given regular expression by concatenating a special symbol # r r# augmented regular expression Second, create a syntax tree for the augmented regular expression. All leaves are alphabet symbols (plus # and the empty string) All inner nodes are operators Third, number each alphabet symbol (plus #) (position numbers) 56
51 Regular Expression DFA Cont d (a b) * a (a b) * a# augmented regular expression a 1 * b 2 a 3 # a b a 3 4 # F Syntax tree of (a b) * a# each symbol is at a leaf each symbol is numbered (positions) inner nodes are operators 57
52 followpos Then we define the function followpos for the positions (positions assigned to leaves). followpos(i) -- the set of positions which can follow the position i in the strings generated by the augmented regular expression. Example: ( a b) * a # followpos(1) = {1,2,3} followpos(2) = {1,2,3} followpos(3) = {4} followpos(4) = {} followpos() is just defined for leaves, not defined for inner nodes. 58
53 firstpos, lastpos, nullable To compute followpos, we need three more functions defined for the nodes (not just for leaves) of the syntax tree. firstpos(n) -- the set of the positions of the first symbols of strings generated by the subexpression rooted by n. lastpos(n) -- the set of the positions of the last symbols of strings generated by the subexpression rooted by n. nullable(n) -- true if the empty string is a member of strings generated by the subexpression rooted by n; false otherwise 59
54 Usage of the Functions (a b) * a (a b) * a# augmented regular expression m * n a 3 # 4 nullable(n) = false nullable(m) = true firstpos(n) = {1, 2, 3} a 1 b 2 lastpos(n) = {3} Syntax tree of (a b) * a# 60
55 Computing nullable, firstpos, lastpos n nullable(n) firstpos(n) lastpos(n) leaf labeled true leaf labeled with position i false {i} {i} nullable(c 1 ) or c 1 c 2 nullable(c 2 ) nullable(c 1 ) c 1 c 2 and nullable(c 2 ) firstpos(c 1 ) firstpos(c 2 ) if (nullable(c 1 )) firstpos(c 1 )firstpos(c 2 ) else firstpos(c 1 ) lastpos(c 1 ) lastpos(c 2 ) if (nullable(c 2 )) lastpos(c 1 )lastpos(c 2 ) else lastpos(c 2 ) * true firstpos(c 1 ) lastpos(c 1 ) c 1 Straightforward recursion on the height of the tree 61
56 Thinking Extend the above table to include two more operations (a)? (b) + n nullable(n) firstpos(n) lastpos(n)? c 1 + TRUE firstpos(c 1 ) lastpos(c 1 ) c 1 Nullable(c 1 ) firstpos(c 1 ) lastpos(c 1 ) 62
57 How to evaluate followpos Two-rules define the function followpos: 1. If n is concatenation-node with left child c 1 and right child c 2, and i is a position in lastpos(c 1 ), then all positions in firstpos(c 2 ) are in followpos(i). 2. If n is a star-node, and i is a position in lastpos(n), then all positions in firstpos(n) are in followpos(i). If firstpos and lastpos have been computed for each node, followpos of each position can be computed by making one depth-first traversal of the syntax tree. 63
58 Example -- ( a b) * a # {1,2,3} {4} {1,2,3} {3} {4}# 4 {1,2}* {1,2}{3} a{3} 3 {1,2} {1,2} {1} a {1} {2} b {2} 1 2 {4} red firstpos blue lastpos Then we can calculate followpos followpos(1) = {1,2,3} followpos(2) = {1,2,3} followpos(3) = {4} followpos(4) = {} After we calculate follow positions, we are ready to create DFA for the regular expression. 64
59 Algorithm (RE DFA) 1. Create the syntax tree of (r) # 2. Calculate nullable, firstpos, lastpos, followpos 3. Put firstpos(root) into the states of DFA as an unmarked state. 4. while (there is an unmarked state S in the states of DFA) do mark S for each input symbol a do let s 1,...,s n are positions in S and symbols in those positions are a S followpos(s 1 )... followpos(s n ) Dtran[S,a] S if (S is not in the states of DFA) put S into the states of DFA as an unmarked state. the start state of DFA is firstpos(root) the accepting states of DFA are all states containing the position of # 65
60 Example -- ( a b) * a # followpos(1)={1,2,3} followpos(3)={4} followpos(2)={1,2,3} followpos(4)={} S 1 =firstpos(root)={1,2,3} mark S 1 a: followpos(1) followpos(3)={1,2,3,4}=s 2 Dtran[S 1,a]=S 2 b: followpos(2)={1,2,3}=s 1 Dtran[S 1,b]=S 1 mark S 2 a: followpos(1) followpos(3)={1,2,3,4}=s 2 Dtran[S 2,a]=S 2 b: followpos(2)={1,2,3}=s 1 Dtran[S 2,b]=S 1 start state: S 1 accepting states: {S 2 } b S 1 a S 2 a 66 b
61 Example -- ( a ) b c * # followpos(1)={2} Let s continue followpos(2)={3,4} followpos(3)={3,4} followpos(4)={} S 1 =firstpos(root)={1,2} mark S 1 a: followpos(1)={2}=s 2 Dtran[S 1,a]=S 2 b: followpos(2)={3,4}=s 3 Dtran[S 1,b]=S 3 mark S 2 b: followpos(2)={3,4}=s 3 Dtran[S 2,b]=S 3 mark S 3 c: followpos(3)={3,4}=s 3 Dtran[S 3,c]=S 3 S 1 a b S 2 b S 3 c start state: S 1 accepting states: {S 3 } 67
62 Minimizing Number of DFA States For any regular language, there is always a unique minimum state DFA, which can be constructed from any DFA of the language. Algorithm: Partition the set of states into two groups: G 1 : set of accepting states G 2 : set of non-accepting states For each new group G partition G into subgroups such that states s 1 and s 2 are in the same group iff for all input symbols a, states s 1 and s 2 have transitions to states in the same group. Start state of the minimized DFA is the group containing the start state of the original DFA. Accepting states of the minimized DFA are the groups containing the accepting states of the original DFA. 68
63 Minimizing DFA Example (1) 1 a b a 2 b 3 a G 1 = {2} G 2 = {1,3} G 2 cannot be partitioned because Dtran[1,a]=2 Dtran[3,a]=2 Dtran[1,b]=3 Dtran[3,b]=3 b So, the minimized DFA (with minimum states) is b a 1 a b 2 69
64 Minimizing DFA Example (2) a a 2 a 1 b 4 b a 3 b b a Minimized DFA 1 b Groups: {1,2,3} {4} {1,2} {3} no more partitioning b 2 a b a b 1->2 1->3 2->2 2->3 3->4 3->3 70 a 3 70
65 Architecture of A Lexical Analyzer 71 71
66 An NFA for Lex program Create an NFA for each regular expression Combine all the NFAs into one Introduce a new start state Connect it with ε- transitions to the start states of the NFAs 72
67 Pattern Matching with NFA 1 The lexical analyzer reads in input and calculates the set of states it is in at each symbol. 2 Eventually, it reach a point with no next state. 3 It looks backwards in the sequence of sets of states, until it finds a set including one or more accepting states. 4 It picks the one associated with the earliest pattern in the list from the Lex program. 5 It performs the associated action of the pattern. 73
68 Pattern Matching with NFA -- Example Input: aaba 74 Report pattern: a*b +
69 Pattern Matching with DFA 1 Convert the NFA for all the patterns into an equivalent DFA. For each DFA state with more than one accepting NFA states, choose the pattern, who is defined earliest, the output of the DFA state. 2 Simulate the DFA until there is no next state. 3 Trace back to the nearest accepting DFA state, and perform the associated action. Input: abba Report pattern abb 75
70 Summary How lexical analyzers work Convert REs to NFA Convert NFA to DFA Minimize DFA Use the minimized DFA to recognize tokens in the input Use priorities, longest matching rule 76
