Grammar and parsing

CabalStyleFile ::= SecElems

SecElems       ::= SecElem* '\n'?
SecElem        ::= '\n' SecElemLayout | SecElemBraces
SecElemLayout  ::= FieldLayout | FieldBraces | SectionLayout | SectionBraces
SecElemBraces  ::= FieldInline | FieldBraces |                 SectionBraces
FieldLayout    ::= name : line? ('\n' line)*
FieldBraces    ::= name : '\n'? '{' content '}'
FieldInline    ::= name : content
SectionLayout  ::= name arg* SecElems
SectionBraces  ::= name arg* '\n'? '{' SecElems '}'

and the same thing but left factored...

SecElems              ::= SecElem*
SecElem               ::= '\n' name SecElemLayout
                        |      name SecElemBraces
SecElemLayout         ::= :   FieldLayoutOrBraces
                        | arg*  SectionLayoutOrBraces
FieldLayoutOrBraces   ::= '\n'? '{' content '}'
                        | line? ('\n' line)*
SectionLayoutOrBraces ::= '\n'? '{' SecElems '\n'? '}'
                        | SecElems
SecElemBraces         ::= : FieldInlineOrBraces
                        | arg* '\n'? '{' SecElems '\n'? '}'
FieldInlineOrBraces   ::= '\n'? '{' content '}'
                        | content

Note how we have several productions with the sequence:

'\n'? '{'

That is, an optional newline (and indent) followed by a { token. In the SectionLayoutOrBraces case you can see that this makes it not fully left factored (because SecElems can start with a n). Fully left factoring here would be ugly, and though we could use a lookahead of two tokens to resolve the alternatives, we can't conveniently use Parsec's try here to get a lookahead of only two. So instead we deal with this case in the lexer by making a line where the first non-space is { lex as just the { token, without the usual indent token. Then in the parser we can resolve everything with just one token of lookahead and so without using try.

readFields :: ByteString -> Either ParseError [Field Position] Source #

Parse cabal style ByteString into list of Fields, i.e. the cabal AST.

readFields' :: ByteString -> Either ParseError ([Field Position], [LexWarning]) Source #

Like readFields but also return lexer warnings
