The (system base lalr) module provides the
lalr-scm LALR(1) parser
generator by Dominique Boucher. lalr-scm uses the same algorithm as GNU
Bison (see Introduction to Bison in Bison, The
Yacc-compatible Parser Generator). Parsers are defined using the
lalr-parser macro.
Generate an LALR(1) syntax analyzer. tokens is a list of symbols representing the terminal symbols of the grammar. rules are the grammar production rules.
Each rule has the form (non-terminal (rhs ...) : action
...), where non-terminal is the name of the rule, rhs are the
right-hand sides, i.e., the production rule, and action is a semantic
action associated with the rule.
The generated parser is a two-argument procedure that takes a
tokenizer and a syntax error procedure. The tokenizer
should be a thunk that returns lexical tokens as produced by
make-lexical-token. The syntax error procedure may be called
with at least an error message (a string), and optionally the lexical
token that caused the error.
Please refer to the lalr-scm documentation for details.
