Method of applying Lex and YACC (IV). Application of syntax tree

Papaya 20070515

I. Sequencing

No matter what language, the syntax structure is always the same. You can imagine that any program can be interpreted as a syntax.
The essence of the syntax tree is recursion. Obviously, the core idea of the YACC syntax is also recursion. This article uses a specific example,
Build a recursive syntax tree using YACC to solve practical problems.
It is a pity that it is not easy to make it clear during the summary process. I will give it a seven-point explanation.
The key lies in personal thinking.

Ii. Recursive ideas

Let's first look at a simplified C language example section:

I = 0;
While (I <= 10 ){
Print (I );
I = I + 1;
}
Print (I + I );

First, the combination of () +/* print while is called expr (expression), which only indicates the basic table.
It can be understood that any operator combination can be performed through recursion. For example, each row below can be called expr:

I = 0
While (I <= 10)
Print (I)
I = I + 1
Print (I + I)

The statement line of expr +; is called stmt (statement), indicating the end of a statement. Multiple stmt caused {}
It is called stmt_list. In this case, the original sample segment can be expressed:

Stmt
Expr stmt_list
Stmt

This obviously does not conform to the recursion rule. If stmt can also be combined by Expr stmt_list, the program can be recursive to the top level.

Stmt
Stmt
Stmt

This also requires that the syntax definition of YACC must be recursive to the top level, as shown above.


Iii. Memory Structure

The compilation process must have a regular and recursive tree structure in the memory, which makes it easier to understand stmt for each statement.
You need to build a syntax tree.

The following is an example of the syntax tree we are going to use:

Graph 0:

[=]
|
| ---- |
|
Idx (I) C (0)


Graph 1:

While
|
| ---------------- |
|
[<=] [;]
|
| ----- | ---------- |
|
Idx (I) C (10) print [=]
|
| ------- |
|
Idx (I) [+]
|
| ---- |
|
Idx (I) C (1)


Graph 2:

Print
|
|
|
[+]
|
| ----- |
|
Idx (I) idx (I)


After carefully viewing the three figures above, we will find that each stmt corresponds to a tree chart. The tree node contains three types: operators.
(Such as + =;), variable index (such as idx (I) and value (such as C (10) C (1 )). For each operator, ensure that
Recursive rules.

Iv. Specific instances

A. node. H <Tree node definition header file>

/* Define the authorization type of the Tree node */
Typedef Enum {type_content, type_index, type_op} nodeenum;

/* Operator */
Typedef struct {
Int name;/* Operator name */
Int num;/* Number of operation elements */
Struct nodetag * node [1];/* The operation metadata address can be expanded */
} Opnode;

Typedef struct nodetag {
Nodeenum type;/* Tree node type */
/* Union must be the last member */
Union {
Int content;/* content */
Int index;/* Index */
Opnode op;/* operator object */
};

} Node;

Extern int var [26];


[Note] node is a defined Tree node. It can be of three types (content, index, OP ). Node
If it is an operator object (opnode), the node can continue to recursion the node. Operator nodes include names, numbers
Number and subnode. The subnode can be multiple.

[Note] This file is the core of the file. It can be divided into YACC pre-defined syntax, BNF recursive syntax, and extended implementation functions.
Three parts.

YACC definition:

(1). (024-031) (039)

% Union {
Int ivalue;/* variable value */
Char sindex;/* variable array index */
Node * nptr;/* Node Address */
};

% Token <ivalue> integer
% Token <sindex> variable

(024-031) This section expands the content of yystype. By default, yystype is only int type.
Generate the following code:

# Ifndef yystype
Typedef Union {
Int ivalue;/* variable value */
Char sindex;/* variable array index */
Node * nptr;/* Node Address */
} Yystype;
# Define yystype
# Define yystype_is_trivial 1
# Endif

And <ivalue> and integer, <sindex> are bound to variable, indicating that the value returned by lex is automatically
Type conversion.

(039) bind <nptr> to the pointer type of union.

That is, in the content stack of the parser, constants, variables, and nodes can all be represented by yylval. Yylval can be int,
Char, or node *. For more information, see lexya_e.tab.c.
Understanding. (Switch (yyn)


(2). (032-039)

This method mainly defines the operator priority. Nonassoc means no dependency. It is often connected
Used Together with % prec to specify the priority of a rule. The following rules have the ambiguity of if else.
Nonassoc must be used to specify rules. 054 corresponds to ifx, 055 corresponds to else, And 055 is higher than 054.

054 | if '('expr')' stmt % prec ifx {$ = OPR (if, 2, $3, $5 );}
055 | if '('expr')' stmt else stmt % prec else {$ = OPR (if, 3, $3, $5, $7 );}
 
(039) type keyword statement, indicating that the return value is <PTR> type.


BNF recursive syntax (040-080 ):

This recursive syntax looks easy and is difficult to design. For more information about recursive ideas, see this article.
The first "recursive ideas ". Consider the syntax definition of (056)-(060.


Extended implementation functions:

In this example, the set_index and set_value assignment statements are extended. The operation is to allocate the index in the memory space.
And value. The OPR Extension function is very important and uses dynamic parameters.
The number of operation elements is variable. This is also the definition of the header file "struct nodetag * node [1 ];"
To be consistent. OPR allocates Tree nodes related to operators in the memory space.

Set_index, set_value, and OPR are completely consistent in concept. The objective is to construct a recursive tree in the memory.
