1 xercises II Text adapted from : Alessandro Artale, Free University of Bolzano les adapted from : nrico Cimitan, Università di Padova xercise: Lexical Analysis Describe the notions of token, token name, lexeme, and attribute, and prove examples of their use 1

2 xercise: Lexical Analysis Input : y = 42 The lexemes are y, =, 42 The tokens are, y, assign, num, 42 The token names are, assign, num The attributes for first and third tokens are y, 42 ; second token does not need an attribute xercise: Lexical Analysis To describe the set of lexemes we need patterns xample of patterns expressed by means of Rs Idenifier: [a-za-z][a-za-z_0-9]* (N.B. keywords ignored) Number : [0-9] + 2

3 xercise: Lexical Analysis During LA there are two kinds of conflicts everal portions of a lexeme are recognized by the same Rs The same lexeme is recognized by several Rs Describe how to resolve these conflicts xercise: Lexical Analysis The conflict between several portions of different lengths is resolved by taking the longest match The conflict between several Rs on the same lexeme is resolved by taking the Rs with highest precedence 3

4 xercise: Finite Automata Describe a lexer that recognizes entifiers and numbers (integers), and show the finite automaton xercise: Finite Automata Flex code ws [\n \t]+ %% [0-9]+{ws} {printf ( int\n );} [a-za-z][a-za-z_0-9]*{ws {printf( \n );} %% 4

5 xercise: Finite Automata ɛ [a-za-z] ws print start [a-za-z_0-9] ɛ [0-9] ws print «integer» [0-9] xercise: Top-Down Parsing Conser the following grammar with terminals T = { [, ], a, b, c, +, - } : [ X ] a X + Y Y b ɛ Y - X c ɛ Prove the parsing table for the LL(1) top down parser 5

6 Recall: FIRT() FIRT(α) = the set of terminals that begin all strings derived from α FIRT(a) = {a} if a T FIRT(ε) = {ε} FIRT(A) = A α FIRT(α) for A α P FIRT(X 1 X 2 X k ) : if for all j = 1,, i-1 : ε FIRT(X j ) then add FIRT(X i )\{ε} to FIRT(X 1 X 2 X k ) if for all j = 1,, k : ε FIRT(X j ) then add ε to FIRT(X 1 X 2 X k ) xercise: Top-Down Parsing FIRT(a) = {a}, if a T = { [, ], a, b, c, +, - } FIRT(Y) = { -, ε } FIRT() = { [, a } FIRT(X) = {+} FIRT(Y)\{ε} {b} {ε} (since Y derives ε) = { +, -, b, ε } 6

7 xercise: Top-Down Parsing A α FIRT(α) [ X ] [ a a X + Y + X Y b - b X ɛ ε Y - X c - Y ɛ ε Recall: FOLLOW() FOLLOW(A) = the set of terminals that can immediately follow nonterminal A FOLLOW(A) = for all (B α A β) P do add FIRT(β)\{ε} to FOLLOW(A) for all (B α A β) P and ε FIRT(β) do add FOLLOW(B) to FOLLOW(A) for all (B α A) P do add FOLLOW(B) to FOLLOW(A) if A is the start symbol then add $ to FOLLOW(A) 7

8 xercise: Top-Down Parsing FOLLOW(X) = { ], c } FOLLOW(Y) = FOLLOW(X) {b} = { ], c, b } FOLLOW() = {$} FIRT(X)\{ε} {]} ( [X] and X ɛ) FIRT(X)\{ε} {c} (Y -Xc and X ɛ) FIRT(Y)\{ε} FOLLOW(X) (X +Y and Y ɛ) (since FIRT(Y) FIRT(X) ) = {$} FIRT(X) \{ε} {]} {c} FOLLOW(X) = = { $, +, -, b, ], c } xercise: Top-Down Parsing A X Y FOLLOW(A) $ + - b ] c ] c ] c b 8

9 Recall: Constructing an LL(1) Predictive Parsing Table for each production A α do for each a FIRT(α) do add A α to M[A, a] enddo if ε FIRT(α) then for each b FOLLOW(A) do add A α to M[A, b] enddo endif enddo Mark each undefined entry in M error xercise: Top-Down Parsing FIRT & FOLLOW as computed before : A α FIRT(α) A FOLLOW(A) [ X ] [ a a $ + - b ] c X + Y + X Y b - b X ] c X ɛ ε Y - X c - Y ɛ ε Y ] c b 9

10 xercise: Top-Down Parsing [ ] a b c + - $ [ X ] a X X ɛ (FOLLOW) X Y b X ɛ (FOLLOW) X + Y X Y b Y Y ɛ (FOLLOW) Y ɛ (FOLLOW) Y ɛ (FOLLOW) Y - X c Productions marked as FOLLOW are inserted in the second phase of the algorithm xercise: Top-Down Parsing Prove the stack and the moves of the LL(1) parser on input [ a b ] 10

11 xercise: Top-Down Parsing tack $ $ ] X [ $ ] X $ ] X a $ ] X $ ] b Y $ ] b $ ] $ Input [ a b ] $ [ a b ] $ a b ] $ a b ] $ b ] $ b ] $ b ] $ ] $ $ Production applied [ X ] (match!) a (match!)

(end! accept.) xercise: Top-Down Parsing xplain the backtracking technique for top-down parsing and prove an example consering the grammar [ X ] a X + Y Y b ɛ Y - X c ɛ 11

12 xercise: Top-Down Parsing Backtracking is exploited in top-down parsers that do not use predictive parsing The parser keeps a record of all previous decisions for production application, and sets up a trial-and-error strategy Note that choosing a wrong production leads the repeated reading of a portion of the input xercise: Top-Down Parsing tack $ $ ] X [ $ ] X $ ] X ] X [ Input [ a b ] $ [ a b ] $ a b ] $ a b ] $ Production applied [ X ] (match!)

15 Recall: Function closure() 1. tart with closure(i) = I 2. If [A α Bβ] closure(i) then for each production B γ in the grammar, add the item [B γ] to I if not already in I 3. Repeat 2 until no new items can be added Recall: Function goto() 1. For each [A α Xβ] I, add [A αx β] to goto(i, X), if not already there 2. Compute closure() of the resulting set 15

16 Recall: build LR(0) collection teps: - augment grammar with initial production - start from the state containing the closure of the set containing only the item derived from the initial production: closure( {[ ʹ ]} ) - add iteratively the states that are reachable from the existing states using goto(i,x), for some state I already added and some symbol (terminal or nonterminal) X Recall: build the collection Procedure: C = { closure( {[ ʹ ]} ) } repeat for each set of items I in C and each grammar symbol X such that goto(i, X) is not empty and not in C do add goto(i, X) to C until no new sets of items can be added to C 16

For the rule if Test then { 1 } show what are the synthesized attributes and what are the inherited attributes. 27

28 xercise 4: emantic Analysis In semantic analysis, an attribute of a nonterminal A 1 is called inherited if it is derived only from operations on attributes of A 1 s parent or siblings in the parsing tree; i.e., if it is computed in the semantic rule associated to a production with A 1 in the right-hand se. On the other hand, synthesized attributes of A 1 are generated only from the below, i.e. from the attributes of the children of A 1. In other words, in the rule where A 1 appears in the left-hand se. xercise 4: emantic Analysis Production if Test then { 1 } emantic rules Test.true = newlabel(); ynthesized (convention) Test.false =.next; Inherited 1.next =.next; Inherited.code = Test.code gen(test.true : ) 1.code ynthesized 28
