I noticed that you are using a non conventional syntax to describe regular expressions, there is any particular reason for it ?

Also there is no complete example using the generated parser (C++,JS, RUST, PHP, AWK) other than dump the reduce action.
For example how to do the same as this from the README but from the generated C++,JS, RUST, PHP, AWK ?
init_code: {s = {\};}
terminals:
oct_int_const {'0'.<07>*}
dec_int_const {<19>.d*}
hex_int_const {'0'.[xX].(<09>+<af>+<AF>).(<09>+<af>+<AF>)*}
lr_br {'('}
rr_br {')'}
plus {'+'}
minus {'-'}
asterisk {'*'}
slash {'/'}
percent {'%'}
_SKIP_ {w.w*}
_END_ {'\0'}
nonterminals:
<start> <exp> <C> <B> <A>
rules:
<start> -> <exp> _END_ ->> {}
<exp> -> <C> ->> {print("result: "..s[#s]);}
<C> -> <C> plus <B> ->> {s[#s-1] = s[#s-1] + table.remove(s);}

<B> -> <B> percent <A> ->> {s[#s-1] = s[#s-1] % table.remove(s);}
<B> -> <A> ->> {}
<A> -> lr_br <C> rr_br ->> {}

It's interesting your idea of using the preprocessor cont but looking at the generated files they have a full copy of almost everything and using inline for not so small functions (although the compiler can decide not to inline) doesn't it generate more code than needed ?
I like the idea of a parser and grammar interpreter to rapid prototype and also the possibility of using Lua for the actions while prototyping. I'm collecting grammars here https://github.com/mingodad/plgh and I found this tool https://www.bottlecaps.de/rr/ui fantastic to help visualize the grammar, there is any plan to add an option to output the grammar in EBNF format compatible to visualize the grammar ?
Thanks for your great work ?
Thank you for your interest.
Preprocessor cont
generates all code for described containers. It distinguishes two types of generated methods: inlines
and methods
. Inline methods should be generated in header files of source code components (compilation units), and thus are propagated to each code component that includes its header file.
Preprocessor cont
executed with argument --geninc
mimics work of C++ preprocessor and generates one large C++ file for compiler. This is why beginning of every generated file looks almost same. These are headers of other compilation units.
Functions to be generated as inline for each container (abstract data type eg. list, tree, ...) type was determined by me. So it is just pure experience based estimation. Surely compiler does its work, but at least he has this inline function available in headers and can opt to not inline them (as you said). What compiler cannot do is to inline functions with implementations in other compilation units.
It looks that you already solved output of grammar to EBNF format.

There is no good reason to it. Codebase is almost 12 years old, and back than I have no good insight in standard regex syntax. This syntax emerged from knowledge obtained at CS regular languages class.
So I admit, syntax of regex is not standard, but on other side, it is working for me.

After generating source code of parser, work of yapgen
is done. It is user responsibility to integrate generated code to project, and replace dump of reduction rules by real code.
Semantic rules written in LUA
are intended to simplify grammar design process, and to enable some basic scripting support.
Generated code consists of two basic components:
- Function
recognize_terminal
recognize next terminal symbol (input for parser grammar) in input stream of bytes. - Function
parser_parse_source_string
processes input stream of terminal symbols by parser based onshift
andreduce
actions from generated LALR table.
Names of generated function are not important, because in target project it will be changed, or actually be methods of some class. Generated code do not impose any restrictions on target project structure.
Identifiers used in generated code are prefixed by _prefix_
or _PREFIX_
to solve name clashes in projects with more parsers in one namespace. Those prefixes should be replaced by parser identification.
Function recognize_terminal
contains two macros (C/C++ code):
_PREFIX_GET_NEXT_CHAR
- Retrieve next byte from input stream to parse._PREFIX_CLOSE_CHAR
- Confirm processing of actual byte, move to next.
These macros can be adjusted to process various types of input streams.
Function parser_parse_source_string
should properly react to rules reductions. It will probably call some callbacks of compiler or interpreter.
For example in uclang
JSON module:
- Parse actions call parser callbacks ucl_json.cc#L1001. Callbacks are implemented in file json_parse_actions.cc.
- Callbacks can retrieve position of substrings representing terminal and nonterminal symbols of grammar. Eg. integer.

Nice and simple conversion script, and visualization looks also great.
Some of grammar rules may seem complex, but mostly it is because of need to generate reduction callbacks in interpreter or solving SLR(1) grammar restrictions.
