2 Going beyond S(0) Some common language constructs introduce conflicts even for S (0) S S (1) S (2) S (3) (4) (5) q0 S S S S q4 S q3 q1 q5 S S S S q9 S S q8 5 q7 6 shift/reduce conflict Inputs requiring shift/reduce (0) S S (1) S (2) S (3) (4) (5) S vs. FOOW() contains S S cannot resolve conflict S S (0) S S (1) S (2) S (3) (4) (5) S For the input the rightmost derivation S > S > > > requires reducing in For the input S > S > > > > requires shifting S 7 8 2

3 (1) grammars (1) item In S: a reduce item N α is applicable only when the lookahead is in FOOW(N) But FOOW(N) merges lookahead for all alternatives for N Insensitive to the context of a given production Input Already matched To be matched (1) keeps lookahead with each item Idea: a more refined notion of FOOW computed per item 9 N α β, t Hypothesis about αβ being a possible handle, so far we ve matched α, expecting to see β and after reducing N we expect to see the token t 10 (1) items Computing Closure for (1) (1) item is a pair (0) item ookahead token Meaning We matched the part left of the dot, looking to match the part on the right of the dot, followed by the lookahead token Example The production yields the following (1) items For every [A α Bβ, c] in S for every production B δ and every token b in the grammar such that b FIST(βc) Add [B δ, b] to S (1) items (0) S S (1) S (2) S (3) (4) (5) (0) items [ ] [ ] [, ] [, ] [, ] [, $] [, ] [, ] [, ] [, $]

(S, $) (, $) (, $) (, $) 14 A(1) (1) tables have huge number of entries Often don t need such refined observation (and cost) Idea: find states with the same (0) component and merge their lookaheads component as long as there are no conflicts A(1) not as powerful as (1) in theory but works quite well in practice Merging may not introduce new shift-reduce conflicts, only reduce-reduce, which is unlikely in practice 15 q0 (S S, $) (S, $) (S, $) (, ) (, ) (, $ ) (, $ ) (, $ ) q4 (, ) (, ) (, ) (, ) (, $) (, $) (, $) (, $) S q3 (S, $) q1 (S S, $) (S, $) (, $) q5 (, $) (, ) q7 (, ) (, $) q9 (S, $) (S, $) (, $) (, $) (, $) q8 (, ) (, $) q11 (, $) q12 (, $) q13 q10 (, $) (, $) (, $) (, $) (, $) 16 4
