Methods
method Parser<T> buildExpressionParser <T> ( Operator<T>[][] operators, Parser<T> simpleExpr ) Source #
Convert an OperatorTable and basic term parser into a fully fledged expression parser
buildExpressionParser(table,term) builds an expression parser for terms term with operators from table, taking the associativity and precedence specified in table into account. Prefix and postfix operators of the same precedence can only occur once (i.e. --2 is not allowed if '-' is prefix negate). Prefix and postfix operators of the same precedence associate to the left (i.e. if ++ is postfix increment, than -2++ equals -1, not -3).
The buildExpressionParser function takes care of all the complexity involved in building expression parser.
See remarks.
Examples
This is an example of an expression parser that handles prefix signs, postfix increment and basic arithmetic.
Parser
var binary = fun((string name, Func<int,int,int> f, Assoc assoc) =>
Operator.Infix
var prefix = fun((string name, Func<int,int> f) =>
Operator.Prefix
var postfix = fun((string name, Func<int,int> f) =>
Operator.Postfix
Operator
expr = buildExpressionParser(table,term).label("expression")
var res = parse(expr, "(50 + 20) / 2");

Methods
method ParserResult<T> parse <T> (Parser<T> p, PString input) Source #

method ParserResult<T> parse <T> (Parser<T> p, string input) Source #
Run the parser p with the input provided

method Parser<Unit> setState <T> (T state) Source #
Special parser for setting user-state that propagates through the computation.
method Parser<T> getState <T> () Source #

method Parser<T> unexpected <T> (string msg) Source #
The parser unexpected(msg) always fails with an Unexpect error message msg without consuming any input.
The parsers 'failure', 'label' and 'unexpected' are the three parsers used to generate error messages. Of these, only 'label' is commonly used. For an example of the use of unexpected, see the definition of 'Text.Parsec.Combinator.notFollowedBy'.
Parameters
| param | msg | Error message to use when parsed |
method Parser<T> failure <T> (string msg) Source #
The parser failure(msg) always fails with a Message error without consuming any input.
The parsers 'failure', 'label' and 'unexpected' are the three parsers used to generate error messages. Of these, only 'label' is commonly used. For an example of the use of unexpected, see the definition of 'Text.Parsec.Combinator.notFollowedBy'.
Parameters
| param | msg | Error message to use when parsed |
method Parser<T> result <T> (T value) Source #
Always success parser. Returns the value provided. This is monad return for the Parser monad
method Parser<T> zero <T> () Source #
Always fails (with an Unknown error) without consuming any input
method Parser<T> either <T> (Parser<T> p, Parser<T> q) Source #
This combinator implements choice. The parser either(p,q) first applies p. If it succeeds, the value of p is returned. If p fails /without consuming any input/, parser q is tried.
This combinator is the mplus behaviour of the Parser monad.
The parser is called /predictive/ since q is only tried when parser p didn't consume any input (i.e.. the look ahead is 1).
This non-backtracking behaviour allows for both an efficient implementation of the parser combinators and the generation of good error messages.
method Parser<T> choice <T> (params Parser<T>[] ps) Source #
choice(ps) tries to apply the parsers in the list ps in order, until one of them succeeds.
Parameters
| returns | The value of the succeeding parser. | |
method Parser<T> choice <T> (Seq<Parser<T>> ps) Source #
choice(ps) tries to apply the parsers in the list ps in order, until one of them succeeds.
Parameters
| returns | The value of the succeeding parser. | |
method Parser<Seq<T>> chain <T> (params Parser<T>[] ps) Source #

Parameters
| returns | The result of each parser as an enumerable. | |
method Parser<Seq<T>> chain <T> (Seq<Parser<T>> ps) Source #
Runs a sequence of parsers, if any fail then the failure state is returned immediately and subsequence parsers are not run.
Parameters
| returns | The result of each parser as an enumerable. | |
method Parser<Seq<T>> cons <T> (Parser<T> p, Parser<Seq<T>> ps) Source #
Cons for parser results
Parameters
| type | T | |
| param | p | |
| param | ps | |
| returns | ||
method Parser<Seq<T>> flatten <T> (Parser<Seq<Seq<T>>> ssp) Source #
Flattens parser result: Seq of Seq of T => Seq of T
Parameters
| returns | Parser with flattened result sequence | |
method Parser<T> attempt <T> (Parser<T> p) Source #
The parser attempt(p) behaves like parser p, except that it pretends that it hasn't consumed any input when an error occurs.
This combinator is used whenever arbitrary look ahead is needed. Since it pretends that it hasn't consumed any input when p fails, the either combinator will try its second alternative even when the first parser failed while consuming input.
See remarks.
The attempt combinator can for example be used to distinguish identifiers and reserved words. Both reserved words and identifiers are a sequence of letters. Whenever we expect a certain reserved word where we can also expect an identifier we have to use the attempt combinator. Suppose we write:
var expr = either(letExpr, identifier).label("expression");
var letExpr = from x in str("let") ... select ...;
var identifier = many1(letter);
If the user writes "lexical", the parser fails with: unexpected "x", expecting "t" in "let". Indeed, since the either combinator only tries alternatives when the first alternative hasn't consumed input, the identifier parser is never tried (because the prefix "le" of the str("let") parser is already consumed). The right behaviour can be obtained by adding the attempt combinator:
var expr = either(letExpr, identifier).label("expression");
var letExpr = from x in attempt(str("let")) ... select ...;
var identifier = many1(letter);
method Parser<T> lookAhead <T> (Parser<T> p) Source #
lookAhead(p) parses p without consuming any input.
If p fails and consumes some input, so does lookAhead(p). Combine with 'attempt' if this is undesirable.
