Thomas van Binsbergen maintainer: ltvanbinsbergen@acm.org category: Compilers build-type: Simple cabal-version: >=1.8 tested-with: GHC == 7.6.3 description: GLL is a parser combinator library for writing generalised parsers. The user can write parsers for arbitrary context-free grammars, including both non-determinism and all forms of left and right-recursion. The underlying parsing algorithm is GLL (Scott and Johnstone 2013). . The library provides an interface in 'Control.Applicative' style: it uses the combinators '<*>', '<|>', '<$>' and derivations. With '<$>' arbitrary semantic actions are added to the parser. . Four functions can be used to run a parser: 'parse', 'parseString', 'parseWithOptions' and 'parseStringWithOptions'. Function 'parse' relies on the builtin 'Token' datatype, receiving a list of 'Token' as an input string. User-defined token-types are currently not supported. Function *parseString* enables parsing character-level parsing. The result of aparse is a list of semantic results, one result for each derivation. To avoid infinite recursion, only 'good parse trees' are considered (Ridge 2014). To limit the number of accepted derivation, and therefore avoiding potential exponential blow-up, 'GLL.Combinators.Options' are available to specify certain disambiguation rules. . 'GLL.Combinators.MemInterface' is a memoised version of the library. Memoisation is used to speed up the process of applying semantic actions, it is not necessary for generalised parsing: 'GLL.Combinators.Interface' and 'GLL.Combinators.MemInterface' are equally general. In the memoised version, parsers are no longer pure functions and must be developed inside the IO monad. . Examples can be found in the 'GLL.Combinators.Test' directory. library hs-source-dirs : src build-depends : base >=4.5 && <= 4.8.0.0 , containers >= 0.4 , array , TypeCompose exposed-modules : GLL.Combinators.Interface , GLL.Combinators.MemInterface , GLL.Combinators.BinInterface , GLL.Combinators.MemBinInterface , GLL.Combinators.Test.Interface , GLL.Combinators.Test.MemInterface , GLL.Combinators.Test.BinInterface , GLL.Combinators.Test.MemBinInterface other-modules : GLL.Types.Abstract , GLL.Types.Grammar , GLL.Parser , GLL.Combinators.Memoisation , GLL.Combinators.Options extensions : TypeOperators, FlexibleInstances, ScopedTypeVariables, TypeSynonymInstances
