AstFromString Namespace Reference

Description

Parser building blocks for creating simple recursive descent parsers generating AST from strings.

Liao 4/13/2011 An experimental SgStatement* SageBuilder::buildStatementFromString(string&, SgScopeStatement* scope) is provided. 10/2015

Support creating simple recursive descent parsers of source code annotations

The namespace, AstFromString, collects a set of helper functions (or parser building blocks) that operate on an input string to create simple recursive descent parsers for source code annotations(C/C++ pragmas or Fortran comments).

Functions

Character check , without side effect on the current position

utility functions for checking characters, without changing the current position of the input string being parsed.

bool afs_is_digit ()
 Check if the current character is a digit. The current position of the input string remains unchanged either way.
 
bool afs_is_identifier_char ()
 Check if the current character is a legal identifier character, including letters, digits, '_' and '$' (For fortran). No side effect on the current position.
 
bool afs_is_letter ()
 Check if the current character is a letter. No side effect on the current position of the input string.
 
bool afs_is_lower_letter ()
 Check if the current character is a lower case letter.
 
bool afs_is_upper_letter ()
 Check if the current character is a upper case letter.
 
Match with side effects (set c_parsed_node and advance the current position of character) if successful. Return false and have no side effects if the match fails.

utility functions for matching string, whitespace, identifiers, const etc. Successful match will advance the current position. entry point, declarations, types Follow the order of http://www.antlr.org/grammar/1153358328744/C.g

Function Documentation

ROSE_DLL_API bool AstFromString::afs_match_substr ( const char *  substr,
bool  checkTrail = true 
)

Match a sub string: a given sub c string from the input c string, again skip heading space/tabs if any.

checkTrail: Check the immediate following character after the match, it must be one of whitespace, end of str, newline, tab, (, ), or '!', etc. It is set to true by default, used to ensure the matched substr is a full identifier/keywords. Note: If try to match non-identifier, such as operators +=, etc), please set checkTrail to false!! But Fortran OpenMP allows blanks/tabs to be ignored between certain pair of keywords: e.g: end critical == endcritical , parallel do == paralleldo to match the 'end' and 'parallel', we have to skip trail checking. return values:

  • true: find a match, the current char is pointed to the next char after the substr
  • false: no match, the current char is intact
ROSE_DLL_API bool AstFromString::afs_match_type_specifier ( bool  checkTrail = true)

Match a type specifier : 'void' | 'char' | 'short' | 'int' | 'long' | 'float' | 'double' | 'signed' | 'unsigned' | struct_or_union_specifier | enum_specifier | type_id. The recognized type is stored in c_parsed_node.

Parameters
checkTrailif false it authorizes any character to follow the type. Used to parse fragments of C (as a comma separated list of types)

ROSE_DLL_API const char* AstFromString::c_char

A namespace scope char* to avoid passing and returning a target c string for every and each function current characters being scanned, what is pointed is const, the pointer itself is not const.
