27 ;;; Parser protocol discussion.
28 ;;;
29 ;;; Other languages, notably Haskell and ML, have `parser combinator
30 ;;; libraries', which allow one to construct recursive descent parsers using
31 ;;; approximately pleasant syntax. While attempts have been made to
32 ;;; introduce the benefits of these libraries to Lisp, they've not been
33 ;;; altogether successful; this seems due to Lisp's lack of features such as
34 ;;; pattern matching, currying and lazy evaluation. Rather than fight with
35 ;;; Lisp's weaknesses, this library plays to its strength, making heavy use
36 ;;; of macros. Effectively, the `combinators' we build here are /compile-
37 ;;; time/ combinators, not run-time ones.
38 ;;;
39 ;;; A `parser' is simply an expression which returns three values.
40 ;;;
41 ;;; * If the second value is nil, then the parser is said to have /failed/,
42 ;;; and the first value is a list describing the things that the parser
43 ;;; expected to find but didn't. (The precise details of the list items
44 ;;; are important to error-reporting functions, but not to the low-level
45 ;;; machinery, and are left up to higher-level protocols to nail down
46 ;;; harder.)
47 ;;;
48 ;;; * If the second value is not nil, then the parser is said to have
49 ;;; /succeeded/, and the first value is its /result/.
50 ;;;
51 ;;; * The third value indicates whether the parser consumed any of its
52 ;;; input. Parsers don't backtrack implicitly (to avoid space leaks and
53 ;;; bad performance), so the `consumedp' return value is used to decide
54 ;;; whether the parser has `committed' to a particular branch. If the
55 ;;; parser context supports place-capture (many do) then `peek' can be
56 ;;; used to suppress consumption of input in the case of parser failure.
57 ;;;
58 ;;; The functions and macros here are simply ways of gluing together
59 ;;; expressions which obey this protocol.
60 ;;;
61 ;;; The main contribution of this file is a macro `with-parser-context' which
62 ;;; embeds a parsing-specific S-expressions language entered using the new
63 ;;; macro `parse'. The behaviour of this macro is controlled by a pair of
64 ;;; compile-time generic functions `expand-parser-spec' and
65 ;;; `expand-parser-form'. As well as the parser expression they're meant to
66 ;;; process, these functions dispatch on a `context' argument, which is
67 ;;; intended to help `leaf' parsers find the terminal symbols which they're
68 ;;; meant to process.
69 ;;;
70 ;;; Note that the context is a compile-time object, constructed by the
71 ;;; `parse' macro expansion function, though the idea is that it will contain
72 ;;; the name or names of variables holding the run-time parser state (which
73 ;;; will typically be a lexical analyser or an input stream or suchlike).

421
422 The behaviour is similar to `do'. Initially an accumulator ACC is
423 established, and bound to the value of INIT. The PARSER is then evaluated
424 repeatedly. Each time it succeeds, UPDATE is evaluated with NEW (defaults
425 to `it') bound to the result of the parse, and the value returned by
426 UPDATE is stored back into ACC. If the PARSER fails, then the parse
427 ends. The scope of ACC includes the UPDATE and FINAL forms, and the
428 PARSER and SEP parsers; it is updated by side effects, not rebound.
429
430 If a SEP parser is provided, then the behaviour changes as follows.
431 Before each attempt to parse a new item using PARSER, the parser SEP is
432 invoked. If SEP fails then the parse ends; if SEP succeeds, and COMMITP
433 is true, then the PARSER must also succeed or the overall parse will
434 fail. If COMMITP is false then a trailing SEP is permitted and ignored.
435
436 If MAX (which will be evaluated) is not nil, then it must be a number: the
437 parse ends automatically after PARSER has succeeded MAX times. When the
438 parse has ended, if the PARSER succeeded fewer than MIN (which will be
439 evaluated) times then the parse fails. Otherwise, the FINAL form (which
440 defaults to simply returning ACC) is evaluated and its value becomes the
441 result of the parse. MAX defaults to nil -- i.e., no maximum; MIN
442 defaults to 1 if a SEP parser is given, or 0 if not.
443
444 Note that `many' cannot fail if MIN is zero."

822 This may seem redundant given Lisp's dynamic type system; but it's not
823 actually capable of drawing sufficiently fine distinctions easily. For
824 example, we can represent a symbol either as a string or a symbol; but
825 using strings conflicts with being able to represent string literals, and
826 using symbols looks ugly and they don't get GCed. Similarly, it'd be

828 using them for character literals. So, we introduce our own notion of
