2 Pushdown automata Deterministic fficient Parsers Report an error as soon as the is not a prefix of a valid program Not usable for all context free grammars context free grammar cup Ambiguity errors 2 tokens parser parse tree

3 Kinds of Parsers Top-Down (Predictive Parsing) LL Construct parse tree in a top-down matter Find the leftmost derivation For every non-terminal and token predict the next production Bottom-Up LR Construct parse tree in a bottom-up manner Find the rightmost derivation in a reverse order For every potential right hand side and token decide when a production is found 3

4 Bottom-Up Syntax Analysis Input A context free grammar A stream of tokens Output A syntax tree or error Method Construct parse tree in a bottom-up manner Find the rightmost derivation in (reversed order) For every potential right hand side and token decide when a production is found Report an error as soon as the is not a prefix of valid program 4

36 Handles Identify the leftmost node (nonterminal) that has not been constructed but all whose children have been constructed t 1 t 2 t 4 t 5 t 6 t 7 t 8

37 Identifying Handles Create a deteteministic finite state automaton over grammar symbols Sets of LR(0) items Accepting states identify handles Use automaton to build parser tables reduce For items A on every token shift For items A t on token t When conflicts occur the grammar is not LR(0) When no conflicts occur use a DPDA which pushes states on the 37

CFLs and Regular Languages. CFLs and Regular Languages. CFLs and Regular Languages. Will show that all Regular Languages are CFLs. Union. We can show that every RL is also a CFL Since a regular grammar is certainly context free. We can also show by only using Regular Expressions and Context Free Grammars That is what we will do in this half.
