2 Syntax rror Handling rror handler should Report errors accurately and clearly Recover from an error quickly Not slow down compilation of valid code Approaches to Syntax rror Recovery From simple to complex Panic mode rror productions Automatic local or global correction Good error handling is not easy to achieve Not all are supported by all parser generators Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 5 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 6 rror Recovery: Panic Mode Simplest, most popular method When an error is detected: Discard tokens until one with a clear role is found Continue from there Such tokens are called synchronizing tokens ypically the statement or expression terminators Syntax rror Recovery: Panic Mode (Cont.) Consider the erroneous expression ( ) + 3 Panic-mode recovery: Skip ahead to next integer and then continue Bison: use the special terminal error to describe how much input to skip int + ( ) error int ( error ) Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 7 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 8 2

3 Syntax rror Recovery: rror Productions rror Recovery: Local and Global Correction Idea: specify in the grammar known common mistakes ssentially promotes common errors to alternative syntax xample: Write 5 x instead of 5 * x Add the production Disadvantage Complicates the grammar Idea: find a correct nearby program ry token insertions and deletions xhaustive search Disadvantages: Hard to implement Slows down parsing of correct programs Nearby is not necessarily the intended program Not all tools support it Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 9 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 10 Syntax rror Recovery: Past and Present Past Slow recompilation cycle (even once a day) Find as many errors in one cycle as possible Researchers could not let go of the topic Present Quick recompilation cycle Users tend to correct one error/cycle Complex error recovery is less compelling Panic-mode seems enough Abstract Syntax rees So far a parser traces the derivation of a sequence of tokens he rest of the compiler needs a structural representation of the program Abstract syntax trees Like parse trees but ignore some details Abbreviated as AS Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 11 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture

4 Abstract Syntax ree (Cont.) xample of Parse ree Consider the grammar int ( ) + And the string 5 + (2 + 3) int 5 + ( ) races the operation of the parser Does capture the nesting structure After lexical analysis (a list of tokens) int 5 + ( int 2 + int 3 ) During parsing we build a parse tree + int 2 int 3 But too much info Parentheses Single-successor nodes Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 13 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 14 xample of Abstract Syntax ree Semantic Actions PLUS PLUS Also captures the nesting structure But abstracts from the concrete syntax => more compact and easier to use An important data structure in a compiler Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 15 his is what we ll use to construct ASs ach grammar symbol may have attributes For terminal symbols (lexical tokens) attributes can be calculated by the lexer ach production may have an action Written as: X Y 1 Y n { action } hat can refer to or compute symbol attributes Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture

5 Semantic Actions: An xample Consider the grammar int + ( ) For each symbol X define an attribute X.val For terminals, val is the associated lexeme For non-terminals, val is the expression s value (and is computed from values of subexpressions) We annotate the grammar with actions: int {.val = int.val } {.val = 1.val + 2.val } ( 1 ) {.val = 1.val } Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 17 Semantic Actions: An xample (Cont.) String: 5 + (2 + 3) okens: int 5 + ( int 2 + int 3 ) Productions quations val = 1.val + 2.val 1 int 5 1.val = int 5.val = 5 2 ( 3 ) 2.val = 3.val val = 4.val + 5.val 4 int 2 4.val = int 2.val = 2 5 int 3 5.val = int 3.val = 3 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 18 Semantic Actions: Notes Semantic actions specify a system of equations Declarative Style Order of resolution is not specified he parser figures it out Imperative Style he order of evaluation is fixed Important if the actions manipulate global state Semantic Actions: Notes We ll explore actions as pure equations Style 1 But note bison has a fixed order of evaluation for actions xample: 3.val = 4.val + 5.val Must compute 4.val and 5.val before 3.val We say that 3.val depends on 4.val and 5.val Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 19 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture

6 Dependency Graph int ( 3 + ) ach node labeled has one slot for the val attribute Note the dependencies valuating Attributes An attribute must be computed after all its successors in the dependency graph have been computed In previous example attributes can be computed bottom-up 4 + int int 3 3 Such an order exists when there are no cycles Cyclically defined attributes are not legal Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 21 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 22 Dependency Graph int 5 5 ( 3 5 ) Semantic Actions: Notes (Cont.) Synthesized attributes Calculated from attributes of descendents in the parse tree.val is a synthesized attribute Can always be calculated in a bottom-up order int int Grammars with only synthesized attributes are called S-attributed grammars Most common case Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 23 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture

7 Inherited Attributes Another kind of attribute Calculated from attributes of parent and/or siblings in the parse tree xample: a line calculator A Line Calculator ach line contains an expression int + ach line is terminated with the = sign L = + = In second form the value of previous line is used as starting value A program is a sequence of lines P ε P L Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 25 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 26 Attributes for the Line Calculator ach has a synthesized attribute val Calculated as before ach L has an attribute val L = { L.val =.val } + = { L.val =.val + L.prev } We need the value of the previous line We use an inherited attribute L.prev Attributes for the Line Calculator (Cont.) ach P has a synthesized attribute val he value of its last line P ε { P.val = 0 } P 1 L { P.val = L.val; L.prev = P 1.val } ach L has an inherited attribute prev L.prev is inherited from sibling P 1.val xample Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 27 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture

8 xample of Inherited Attributes xample of Inherited Attributes P val synthesized P 5 val synthesized P L + prev inherited P 0 0 L 5 prev inherited ε = ε = + 4 int int 3 3 All can be computed in depth-first order int int All can be computed in depth-first order Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 29 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 30 Semantic Actions: Notes (Cont.) Semantic actions can be used to build ASs And many other things as well Also used for type checking, code generation, Process is called syntax-directed translation Substantial generalization over CFGs Constructing An AS We first define the AS data type Supplied by us for the project Consider an abstract tree type with two constructors: mkplus( mkleaf(n), ) = = n PLUS Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 31 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture

9 Constructing a Parse ree We define a synthesized attribute ast Values of ast values are ASs We assume that int.lexval is the value of the integer lexeme Computed using semantic actions int.ast = mkleaf(int.lexval) ast = mkplus( 1.ast, 2.ast) ( 1 ).ast = 1.ast Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 33 Parse ree xample Consider the string int 5 + ( int 2 + int 3 ) A bottom-up evaluation of the ast attribute:.ast = mkplus(mkleaf(5), mkplus(mkleaf(2), mkleaf(3)) PLUS PLUS Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 34 Summary Intro to op-down Parsing: he Idea We can specify language syntax using CFG A parser will answer whether s L(G) and will build a parse tree which we convert to an AS and pass on to the rest of the compiler he parse tree is constructed From the top From left to right erminals are seen in order of appearance in the token stream: t 2 t 5 t 6 t 8 t 9 1 t t 5 t 6 7 t 8 t 9 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 35 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture

Notes. o start the parser Initialize next to point to first token Invoke () Notice how this simulates the example parse asy to implement by hand But not completely general Cannot backtrack once a production is successful Works for grammars where at most one production can succeed for a non-terminal Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 53 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 54 xample When Recursive Descent Does Not Work + ( int ) int int * ( ) bool term(okn tok) { return *next++ == tok; } bool 1 () { return (); } bool 2 () { return () && term(plus) && (); } bool () {OKN *save = next; return (next = save, 1 ()) (next = save, 2 ()); } bool 1 () { return term(in); } bool 2 () { return term(in) && term(ims) && (); } bool 3 () { return term(opn) && () && term(clos); } bool () { OKN *save = next; return (next = save, 1 ()) (next = save, 2 ()) (next = save, 3 ()); } Consider a production S S a bool S 1 () { return S() && term(a); } bool S() { return S 1 (); } S() goes into an infinite loop A left-recursive grammar has a non-terminal S S + Sα for some α Recursive descent does not work in such cases Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture 6 55 Prof. Aiken CS 143 Lecture
