Groups characters into tokens and classifies them into token classes.

5 Today: Lexical Analysis. Summary: lexical analyzer maps a stream of characters into a stream of tokens while doing that, it typically needs only bounded memory we can specify tokens for a lexical analyzers using regular expressions it is not difficult to construct a lexical analyzer manually we give an example for manually constructed analyzers, we often use the first character to decide on token class; a notion first(l) = { a aw in L we follow the maximal munch rule: lexical analyzer should eagerly accept the longest token that it can recognize from the current point it is possible to automate the construction of lexical analyzers; the starting point is conversion of regular expressions to automata tools that automate this construction are part of compiler-compilers, such as JavaCC described in the Tiger book automated construction of lexical analyzers from regular expressions is an example of compilation for a domain-specific language

6 While Language Idea Small language used to illustrate key concepts Also used in your first lab interpreter later labs will use a more complex language we continue to use while in lectures while and if are the control statements no procedures, no exceptions the only variables are of int type no variable declarations, they are initially zero no objects, pointers, arrays

7 While Language Example Programs while (i < 100) { j = i + 1; while (j < 100) { println(,i); println(,,j); j = j + 1; i = i + 1; Nested loop x = 13; while (x > 1) { println("x=", x); if (x % 2 == 0) { x = x / 2; else { x = 3 * x + 1; Does the program terminate for every initial value of x? (Collatz conjecture - open)

8 Tokens (Words) of the While Language Ident ::= letter (letter digit)* integerconst ::= digit digit* stringconst ::= AnySymbolExceptQuote* keywords if else while println special symbols ( ) && < == + - * / %! - { ;, letter ::= a b c z A B C Z digit ::= regular expressions

9 Regular Expressions: Definition One way to denote (often infinite) languages Regular expression is an expression built from: empty language {ε, denoted just ε {a for a in Σ, denoted simply by a union, denoted or, sometimes + concatenation, as multiplication or nothing Kleene star * Identifiers: letter (letter digit)* (letter,digit are shorthands from before)

10 History: Kleene (from Wikipedia) Stephen Cole Kleene (January 5, 1909, Hartford, Connecticut, United States January 25, 1994, Madison, Wisconsin) was an American mathematician who helped lay the foundations for theoretical computer science. One of many distinguished students of Alonzo Church, Kleene, along with Alan Turing, Emil Post, and others, is best known as a founder of the branch of mathematical logic known as recursion theory. Kleene's work grounds the study of which functions are computable. A number of mathematical concepts are named after him: Kleene hierarchy, Kleene algebra, the Kleene star (Kleene closure), Kleene's recursion theorem and the Kleene fixpoint theorem. He also invented regular expressions, and was a leading American advocate of mathematical intuitionism.

11 Manually Constructing Lexers

12 Id3 = 0 while (id3 < 10) { println(,id3); id3 = id3 + 1 source code Compiler Construction i d 3 = 0 LF w lexer id3 = 0 while ( id3 < 10 ) Compiler (scalac, gcc) parser assign i 0 while assign + a[i] * 7 i < i 10 3 characters words (tokens) trees Lexer is specified using regular expressions. Groups characters into tokens and classifies them into token classes.

13 Lexer input and Output Stream of Char-s class CharStream(fileName : String){ val file = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(fileName)) var current : Char = ' ' var eof : Boolean = false def next = { if (eof) throw EndOfInput("reading" + file) val c = file.read() eof = (c == -1) current = c.asinstanceof[char] next i d 3 = 0 LF w lexer Stream of Token-s id3 = 0 while ( id3 < 10 ) class Lexer(ch : CharStream) { var current : Token def next : Unit = { lexer code here sealed abstract class Token case class ID(content : String) // id3 extends Token case class IntConst(value : Int) // 10 extends Token case class AssignEQ() = extends Token case class CompareEQ // == extends Token case class MUL() extends Token // * case class PLUS() extends Token // + case clas LEQ extends Token // <= case class OPAREN extends Token //( case class CPAREN extends Token //)... case class IF() extends Token // if case class WHILE() extends Token case class EOF() extends Token // End Of File

14 Identifiers and Keywords if (isletter) { b = new StringBuffer while (isletter isdigit) { b.append(ch.current) ch.next keywords.lookup(b.tostring) { case None => token=id(b.tostring) case Some(kw) => token=kw regular expression for identifiers: letter (letter digit)* Keywords look like identifiers, but are simply indicated as keywords in language definition A constant Map from strings to keyword tokens if not in map, then it is ordinary identifier

15 Integer Constants if (isdigit) { k = while (isdigit) { k = ch.next token = IntConst(k) regular expression for integers: digit digit* Keywords look like identifiers, but are simply indicated as keywords in language definition A constant Map from strings to keyword tokens if not in map, then it is ordinary identifier

16 Decision Tree to Map Symbols to Tokens ch.current match { case '(' => {current = OPAREN; ch.next; return case ')' => {current = CPAREN; ch.next; return case '+' => {current = PLUS; ch.next; return case '/' => {current = DIV; ch.next; return case '*' => {current = MUL; ch.next; return case '=' => { ch.next if (ch.current=='=') {ch.next; current = CompareEQ; return else {current = AssignEQ; return case '<' => { ch.next if (ch.current=='=') {ch.next; current = LEQ; return else {current = LESS; return

17 Skipping Comments if (ch.current='/') { ch.next if (ch.current='/') { while (!iseol &&!iseof) { ch.next Nested comments? /* foo /* bar */ baz */

18 Further Important Topics Longest Match Rule Combining pieces together computing first symbols for regular expressions Example of tiny lexical analyzer see wiki

19 Computing first symbols

20 Computing nullable expressions

21 Automating Construction of Lexers

22 Example in javacc TOKEN: { <IDENTIFIER: <LETTER> (<LETTER> <DIGIT> "_")* > <CONSTANT: <DIGIT> (<DIGIT>)* > <LETTER: ["a"-"z"] ["A"-"Z"]> <DIGIT: ["0"-"9"]> SKIP: { " " "\n" "\t"

23 Finite Automaton Kinds of finite automata: deterministic non-deterministic with epsilon transition with regular expressions on edges

24 Interpretation of Non-Determinism For a given string, some paths in automaton lead to accepting, some to rejecting states Does the automaton accept? yes, if there exists an accepting path Continued in next lecture
