Bottom-up Top-down parsing Recursive-descent parsing LL1) parsing LL1) parsing algorithm First and follow sets Constructing LL1) parsing table Error recovery Bottom-up parsing hift-reduce parsers LR0) parsing LR0) items Finite automata of items LR0) parsing algorithm LR0) grammar LR1) parsing LR1) parsing algorithm LR1) grammar Parsing conflict Parsing 2 Introduction Parsing is a process that constructs a syntactic structure i.e. parse tree) from the stream of tokens. We already learned how to describe the syntactic structure of a language using context-free) grammar. o, a parser only needs to do this? tream of tokens Context-free grammar Parser Parse tree Parsing 3 1

2 Top Down Parsing Bottom Up Parsing A parse tree is created from root to leaves The traversal of parse trees is a preorder traversal Tracing leftmost derivation Two types: Backtracking parser Predictive parser Backtracking: Try different structures and backtrack if it does not matched the input A parse tree is created from leaves to root The traversal of parse trees is a reversal of postorder traversal Tracing rightmost derivation More powerful than topdown parsing Predictive: Guess the structure of the parse tree from the next input Parsing 4 Parse Trees and Derivations E E E + id E * E id id Top-down parsing E E + E id E * E id id Bottom-up parsing E E + E id + E id + E * E id + id * E id + id * id E E + E E + E * E E + E * id E + id * id id + id * id Parsing 5 TOP DOWN PARING Parsing 6 2

3 Top-down Parsing What does a parser need to decide? Which production rule is to be used at each point of time? How to guess? What is the guess based on? What is the next token? Reserved word if, open parentheses, etc. What is the structure to be built? If statement, expression, etc. Parsing 7 Top-down Parsing Why is it difficult? Cannot decide until later Next token: if tructure to be built: t t Matchedt Unmatchedt Unmatchedt if E) t if E) Matchedt else Unmatchedt Matchedt if E) Matchedt else Matchedt... Production with empty string Next token: id tructure to be built: par par parlist parlist exp, parlist exp Parsing 8 Recursive-Descent Write one procedure for each set of productions with the same nonterminal in the LH Each procedure recognizes a structure described by a nonterminal. A procedure calls other procedures if it needs to recognize other structures. A procedure calls match procedure if it needs to recognize a terminal. Parsing 9 3

4 Recursive-Descent: Example E E O F F O + - F E ) id E ::= F {O F} O ::= + - F ::= E ) id procedure E { E; O; F; } procedure F { switch token { case : match ); E; match ) ); case id: matchid); default: error; } } For this grammar: We cannot decide which rule to use for E, and If we choose E E O F, it leads to infinitely recursive loops. Rewrite the grammar into EBNF procedure E { F; while token=+ or token=-) { O; F; } } Parsing 10 Match procedure procedure matchexptok) { if token==exptok) then gettoken else error } The token is not consumed until gettoken is executed. Parsing 11 Problems in Recursive-Descent Difficult to convert grammars into EBNF Cannot decide which production to use at each point Cannot decide when to use -production A Parsing 12 4

5 LL1) LL1) Parsing Read input from L) left to right imulate L) leftmost derivation 1 lookahead symbol Use stack to simulate leftmost derivation Part of sentential form produced in the leftmost derivation is stored in the stack. Top of stack is the leftmost nonterminal symbol in the fragment of sentential form. Parsing 13 Concept of LL1) Parsing imulate leftmost derivation of the input. Keep part of sentential form in the stack. If the symbol on the top of stack is a terminal, try to match it with the next input token and pop it out of stack. If the symbol on the top of stack is a nonterminal X, replace it with Y if we have a production rule X Y. Which production will be chosen, if there are both X Y and X Z?

Choose a rule N X such that X * ty or X * and * WNtY t N X Y Q t N X t Y Parsing 17 First et Let X be or be in V or T. FirstX ) is the set of the first terminal in any sentential form derived from X. If X is a terminal or, then FirstX ) ={X }. If X is a nonterminal and X X 1 X 2...

If A is a nonterminal, then for each rule A X 1 X 2... X n, FirstA) contains FirstX 1 ) - {}. If also for some i<n, FirstX 1 ), FirstX 2 ),..., and FirstX i ) contain, then FirstA) contains FirstX i+1 )-{}. If FirstX 1 ), FirstX 2 ),..., and FirstX n ) contain, then FirstA) also contains.

Left-recursion Left factor Parsing 29 Immediate left recursion A A X Y Left Recursion A=Y X* A A X 1 A X 2 A X n Y 1 Y 2...

Y m A, A X 1 A X 2 A X n A Can be removed when there is no empty-string production and no cycle in the grammar Parsing 30 10

General Left Recursion Can only be removed when there is no emptystring production and no cycle in the grammar. Good News!!!! Never seen in grammars of any programming languages Parsing 32 Left Factoring Left factor causes non-ll1) Given A X Y X Z. Both A X Y and A X Z can be chosen when A is on top of stack and a token in FirstX) is the next token. A X Y X Z can be left-factored as A X A and A Y Z Parsing 33 11

14 hift-reduce parsers There are two possible actions: shift and reduce Parsing is completed when the input stream is empty and the stack contains only the start symbol The grammar must be augmented a new start symbol is added a production is added To make sure that parsing is finished when is on top of stack because never appears on the RH of any production. Parsing 40 LR0) parsing Keep track of what is left to be done in the parsing process by using finite automata of items An item A w. B y means: A w B y might be used for the reduction in the future, at the time, we know we already construct w in the parsing process, if B is constructed next, we get the new item A w B.
