10 Shift-Reduce Parser Idea: We delay the decision whether to reduce until we know, whether the input matches the right-hand-side of a rule! Donald Knuth Construction: Shift-Reduce parser M R G The input is shifted successively to the pushdown. Is there a complete right-hand side (a handle) atop the pushdown, it is replaced (reduced) by the corresponding left-hand side 109 / 338

11 Shift-Reduce Parser Example: The pushdown automaton: S A B A a B b States: q 0, f, a, b, A, B, S; Start state: q 0 End state: f q 0 a q 0 a a ɛ A A b A b b ɛ B A B ɛ S q 0 S ɛ f 110 / 338

12 Shift-Reduce Parser Construction: In general, we create an automaton M R G = (Q, T, δ, q 0, F) with: Q = T N {q 0, f } (q 0, f fresh); F = {f }; Transitions: δ = {(q, x, q x) q Q, x T} // Shift-transitions {(q α, ɛ, q A) q Q, A α P} // Reduce-transitions {(q 0 S, ɛ, f )} // finish 111 / 338

13 Shift-Reduce Parser Construction: In general, we create an automaton M R G = (Q, T, δ, q 0, F) with: Q = T N {q 0, f } (q 0, f fresh); F = {f }; Transitions: δ = {(q, x, q x) q Q, x T} // Shift-transitions {(q α, ɛ, q A) q Q, A α P} // Reduce-transitions {(q 0 S, ɛ, f )} // finish Example-computation: (q 0, a b) (q 0 a, b) (q 0 A, b) (q 0 A b, ɛ) (q 0 A B, ɛ) (q 0 S, ɛ) (f, ɛ) 111 / 338

14 Shift-Reduce Parser Observation: The sequence of reductions corresponds to a reverse rightmost-derivation for the input To prove correctnes, we have to prove: (ɛ, w) (A, ɛ) iff A w The shift-reduce pushdown automaton M R G is in general also non-deterministic For a deterministic parsing-algorithm, we have to identify computation-states for reduction == LR-Parsing 112 / 338

30 Reverse Rightmost Derivations in Shift-Reduce-Parsers Idea: Observe reverse rightmost-derivations of M R G! Input: + 40 E 1 E 0 + T 1 Pushdown: ( q 0 T F ) T 0 F 2 T 1 F 2 F 1 Generic Observation: In a sequence of configurations of M R G name (q 0 α γ, v) (q 0 α B, v) (q 0 S, ɛ) we call α γ a viable prefix for the complete item [B γ ]. 113 / 338

31 Reverse Rightmost Derivations in Shift-Reduce-Parsers Idea: Observe reverse rightmost-derivations of M R G! Input: E 1 E 0 + T 1 Pushdown: ( q 0 E + F ) T 0 T 1 F 2 F 2 F 1 Generic Observation: In a sequence of configurations of M R G name (q 0 α γ, v) (q 0 α B, v) (q 0 S, ɛ) we call α γ a viable prefix for the complete item [B γ ]. 113 / 338

32 Bottom-up Analysis: Viable Prefix α γ is viable for [B γ ] iff S R α B v A 0 i 0 α 1 A 1 i 1 α 2 A 2 i 2 α m B i γ... with α = α 1... α m 114 / 338

33 Bottom-up Analysis: Viable Prefix α γ is viable for [B γ ] iff S R α B v A 0 i 0 α 1 A 1 i 1 α 2 A 2 i 2 α m B i γ... with α = α 1... α m Conversely, for an arbitrary valid word α we can determine the set of all later on possibly matching rules / 338

34 Bottom-up Analysis: Admissible Items The item [B γ β] is called admissible for α iff S R α B v with α = α γ : A 0 i 0 α 1 A 1 i 1 α 2 A 2 i 2 α m B i γ β... with α = α 1... α m 115 / 338

35 Characteristic Automaton Observation: The set of viable prefixes from (N T) for (admissible) items can be computed from the content of the shift-reduce parser s pushdown with the help of a finite automaton: States: Items Start state: [S S] Final states: {[B γ ] B γ P} Transitions: (1) ([A α X β],x,[a α X β]), X (N T), A α X β P; (2) ([A α B β],ɛ, [B γ]), A α B β, B γ P; The automaton c(g) is called characteristic automaton for G. 116 / 338

36 Characteristic Automaton For example: E E + T 0 T 1 T T F 0 F 1 F ( E ) 0 2 S E E S E E E+ T E + T E E + T E E+ T E E+ T E T T E T T T F T F T T F T T F T T F T F F T F ( E ) F ( E ) F ( E ) F ( E ) F ( E ) F F 117 / 338

37 Characteristic Automaton For example: E E + T 0 T 1 T T F 0 F 1 F ( E ) 0 2 S E E S E E E+ T E + T E E + T E E+ T E E+ T E T T E T T T F T F T T F T T F T T F T F F T F ( E ) F ( E ) F ( E ) F ( E ) F ( E ) F F 117 / 338

38 Canonical LR(0)-Automaton The canonical LR(0)-automaton LR(G) is created from c(g) by: 1 performing arbitrarily many ɛ-transitions after every consuming transition 2 performing the powerset construction... for example: 0 T E F ( ( F 5 T 2 + F ( ( 6 E + 8 * ) T * F / 338

39 Canonical LR(0)-Automaton Example: E E + T 0 T 1 Therefore we determine: T T F 0 F 1 F ( E ) / 338

40 Canonical LR(0)-Automaton Example: E E + T 0 T 1 Therefore we determine: T T F 0 F 1 F ( E ) 0 2 q 0 = {[S E], q 1 = δ(q 0, E) = {[S E ], {[E E + T], {[E E + T]} {[E T], {[T T F]} q 2 = δ(q 0, T) = {[E T ], {[T F], {[T T F]} {[F ( E ) ], {[F ]} q 3 = δ(q 0, F) = {[T F ]} q 4 = δ(q 0, ) = {[F ]} 119 / 338

41 Canonical LR(0)-Automaton q 5 = δ(q 0, ( ) = {[F ( E ) ], q 7 = δ(q 2, ) = {[T T F], {[E E + T], {[F ( E ) ], {[E T], {[F ]} {[T T F], {[T F], q 8 = δ(q 5, E) = {[F ( E ) ]} {[F ( E ) ], {[E E + T]} {[F ]} q 9 = δ(q 6, T) = {[E E + T ], q 6 = δ(q 1, +) = {[E E + T], {[T T F]} {[T T F], {[T F], q 10 = δ(q 7, F) = {[T T F ]} {[F ( E ) ], {[F ]} q 11 = δ(q 8, ) ) = {[F ( E ) ]} 120 / 338

42 Canonical LR(0)-Automaton Observation: The canonical LR(0)-automaton can be created directly from the grammar. Therefore we need a helper function δɛ (ɛ-closure) We define: δ ɛ (q) = q {[B γ] [A α B β ] q, β (N T) : B B β} States: Sets of items; Start state: δ ɛ {[S S]} Final states: {q A α P : [A α ] q} Transitions: δ(q, X) = δ ɛ {[A α X β] [A α X β] q} 121 / 338

43 LR(0)-Parser Idea for a parser: The parser manages a viable prefix α = X 1... X m on the pushdown and uses LR(G), to identify reduction spots. It can reduce with A γ, if [A γ ] is admissible for α Optimization: We push the states instead of the X i in order not to process the pushdown s content with the automaton anew all the time. Reduction with A γ leads to popping the uppermost γ states and continue with the state on top of the stack and input A. Attention: This parser is only deterministic, if each final state of the canonical LR(0)-automaton is conflict free. 122 / 338

44 LR(0)-Parser... for example: q 1 = {[S E ], {[E E + T]} q 2 = {[E T ], q 9 = {[E E + T ], {[T T F]} {[T T F]} q 3 = {[T F ]} q 10 = {[T T F ]} q 4 = {[F ]} q 11 = {[F ( E ) ]} The final states q 1, q 2, q 9 contain more then one admissible item non deterministic! 123 / 338

45 LR(0)-Parser The construction of the LR(0)-parser: States: Q {f } (f fresh) Start state: q 0 Final state: f Transitions: Shift: (p, a, p q) if q = δ(p, a) Reduce: (p q 1... q m, ɛ, p q) if [A X 1... X m ] q m, q = δ(p, A) Finish: (q 0 p, ɛ, f ) if [S S ] p with LR(G) = (Q, T, δ, q 0, F). 124 / 338

46 LR(0)-Parser Correctness: we show: The accepting computations of an LR(0)-parser are one-to-one related to those of a shift-reduce parser M R G. we conclude: The accepted language is exactly L(G) The sequence of reductions of an accepting computation for a word w T yields a reverse rightmost derivation of G for w 125 / 338

47 LR(0)-Parser Attention: Unfortunately, the LR(0)-parser is in general non-deterministic. We identify two reasons: Reduce-Reduce-Conflict: [A γ ], [A γ ] q with A A γ γ Shift-Reduce-Conflict: [A γ ], [A α a β] q with a T for a state q Q. Those states are called LR(0)-unsuited. 126 / 338

52 LR(k)-Grammars Idea: Consider k-lookahead in conflict situations. Definition: The reduced contextfree grammar G is called LR(k)-grammar, if for First k (w) = First k (x) with: } S R α A w α β w S R α A w follows: α = α A = A w = x α β x 128 / 338

87 The Canonical LR(1)-Automaton Discussion: In the example, the number of states was almost doubled... and it can become even worse The conflicts in states q 1, q 2, q 9 are now resolved! e.g. we have for: with: q 9 = {[E E + T, {ɛ, +}], {[T T F, {ɛ, +, }]} {ɛ, +} (First 1 ( F) {ɛ, +, }) = {ɛ, +} { } = 139 / 338

89 The LR(1)-Parser The construction of the LR(1)-parser: States: Q {f } (f fresh) Start state: q 0 Final state: f Transitions: Shift: (p, a, p q) if q = goto[q, a], s = action[p, w] Reduce: (p q 1... q β, ɛ, p q) if [A β ] q β, q = goto(p, A), [A β ] = action[q β, w] Finish: (q 0 p, ɛ, f ) if [S S ] p with LR(G, 1) = (Q, T, δ, q 0, F). 141 / 338

90 The LR(1)-Parser: Possible actions are: shift // Shift-operation reduce (A γ) // Reduction with callback/output error // Error... for example: E E + T 0 T 1 T T F 0 F 1 F ( E ) 0 1 action ɛ ( ) + q 1 S, 0 s q 2 E, 1 s q 2 E, 1 s q 3 T, 1 T, 1 T, 1 q 3 T, 1 T, 1 T, 1 q 4 F, 1 F, 1 F, 1 q 4 F, 1 F, 1 F, 1 q 9 E, 0 E, 0 s q 9 E, 0 E, 0 s q 10 T, 0 T, 0 T, 0 q 10 T, 0 T, 0 T, 0 q 11 F, 0 F, 0 F, 0 q 11 F, 0 F, 0 F, / 338

91 The Canonical LR(1)-Automaton In general: We identify two conflicts: Reduce-Reduce-Conflict: [A γ, x], [A γ, x] q with A A γ γ Shift-Reduce-Conflict: [A γ, x], [A α a β, y] q with a T und x {a}. for a state q Q. Such states are now called LR(1)-unsuited 143 / 338
