29 \section{The parser protocol} \label{sec:parsing.proto}
31 For the purpose of Sod's parsing library, \emph{parsing} is the process of
32 reading a sequence of input items, in order, and computing an output value.
34 A \emph{parser} is an expression which consumes zero or more input items and
35 returns three values: a \emph{result}, a \emph{success flag}, and a
36 \emph{consumed flag}. The two flags are (generalized) booleans. If the
37 success flag is non-nil, then the parser is said to have \emph{succeeded},
38 and the result is the parser's output. If the success flag is nil then the
39 parser is said to have \emph{failed}, and the result is a list of
40 \emph{indicators}. Finally, the consumed flag is non-nil if the parser
41 consumed any input items.

238 \section{Scanners} \label{sec:parsing.scanner}
240 A \emph{scanner} is an object which keeps track of a parser's progress as it
241 works through its input. There's no common base class for scanners: a
242 scanner is simply any object which implements the scanner protocol described
245 A scanner maintains a sequence of items to read. It can step forwards
246 through the items, one at a time, until it reaches the end (if, indeed, the
247 sequence is finite, which it needn't be). Until that point, there is a
248 current item, though there's no protocol for accessing it at this level
249 because the nature of the items is left unspecified.
251 Some scanners support an additional \emph{place-capture} protocol which
252 allows rewinding the scanner to an earlier point in the input so that it can
255 \subsection{Basic scanner protocol} \label{sec:parsing.scanner.basic}
257 The basic protocol supports stepping the scanner forward through its input
258 sequence, and detecting the end of the sequence.
260 \begin{describe}{gf}{scanner-step @<scanner>}
261 Advance the @<scanner> to the next item, which becomes current.
263 It is an error to step the scanner if the scanner is at end-of-file.
266 \begin{describe}{gf}{scanner-at-eof-p @<scanner> @> @<generalized-boolean>}
267 Return non-nil if the scanner is at end-of-file, i.e., there are no more
270 If nil is returned, there is a current item, and it is safe to step the
271 scanner again; otherwise, it is an error to query the current item or to
275 \subsection{Place-capture scanner protocol} \label{sec:parsing.scanner.place}
277 The place-capture protocol allows rewinding to an earlier point in the
278 sequence. Not all scanners support the place-capture protocol.
280 To rewind a scanner to a particular point, that point must be \emph{captured}
281 as a \emph{place} when it's current -- so you must know in advance that this
282 is an interesting place that's worth capturing. The type of place returned
283 depends on the type of scanner. Given a captured place, the scanner can be
284 rewound to the position held in it.
286 Depending on how the scanner works, holding onto a captured place might
287 consume a lot of memory or cause poor performance. For example, if the
288 scanner is reading from an input stream, having a captured place means that
289 data from that point on must be buffered in case the program needs to rewind
290 the scanner and read that data again. Therefore it's possible to
291 \emph{release} a place when it turns out not to be needed any more.
293 \begin{describe}{gf}{scanner-capture-place @<scanner> @> @<place>}
294 Capture the @<scanner>'s current position as a place, and return the place.
297 \begin{describe}{gf}{scanner-restore-place @<scanner> @<place>}
298 Rewind the @<scanner> to the state it was in when @<place> was captured.
299 In particular, the item that was current when the @<place> was captured
300 becomes current again.
302 It is an error to restore a @<place> that has been released, or if the
303 @<place> wasn't captured from the @<scanner>.
306 \begin{describe}{gf}{scanner-release-place @<scanner> @<place>}
307 Release the @<place>, to avoid having to maintaining the ability to restore
308 it after it's not needed any more..
310 It is an error if the @<place> wasn't captured from the @<scanner>.
313 \begin{describe}{mac}
314 {with-scanner-place (@<place> @<scanner>) @<declarations>^* @<form>^*
316 Capture the @<scanner>'s current position as a place, evaluate the @<form>s
317 as an implicit progn with the variable @<place> bound to the captured
318 place. When control leaves the @<form>s, the place is released. The
319 return values are the values of the final @<form>.
322 \subsection{Scanner file-location protocol} \label{sec:parsing.scanner.floc}
324 Some scanners participate in the file-location protocol
325 (\xref{sec:parsing.floc}). They implement a method on @|file-location| which
326 collects the necessary information using scanner-specific functions described
329 \begin{describe}{fun}{scanner-file-location @<scanner> @> @<file-location>}
330 Return a @|file-location| object describing the current position of the
333 This calls the @|scanner-filename|, @|scanner-line| and @|scanner-column|
334 generic functions on the scanner, and uses these to fill in an appropriate
337 Since there are default methods on these generic functions, it is not an
338 error to call @|scanner-file-location| on any kind of value, but it might
339 not be very useful. This function exists to do the work of appropriately
340 specialized methods on @|file-location|.
344 {\dhead{gf}{scanner-filename @<scanner> @> @<string>}
345 \dhead{gf}{scanner-line @<scanner> @> @<integer>}
346 \dhead{gf}{scanner-column @<scanner> @> @<integer>}}
347 Return the filename, line and column components of the @<scanner>'s current
348 position, for use in assembling a @<file-location>: see the
349 @|scanner-file-location| function.
351 There are default methods on all three generic functions which simply
355 \subsection{Character scanners} \label{sec:parsing.scanner.char}
357 Character scanners are scanners which read sequences of characters.
359 \begin{describe}{cls}{character-scanner () \&key}
360 Base class for character scanners. This provides some very basic
363 Not all character scanners are subclasses of @|character-scanner|.
366 \begin{describe}{gf}{scanner-current-char @<scanner> @> @<character>}
367 Returns the current character.
370 \begin{describe}{gf}{scanner-unread @<scanner> @<character>}
371 Rewind the @<scanner> by one step. The @<chararacter> must be the previous
372 current character, and becomes the current character again. It is an error
373 if: the @<scanner> has reached end-of-file; the @<scanner> has never been
374 stepped; or @<character> was not the previous current character.
378 {scanner-interval @<scanner> @<place-a> \&optional @<place-b>
380 Return the characters in the @<scanner>'s input from @<place-a> up to (but
381 not including) @<place-b>.
383 The characters are returned as a string. If @<place-b> is omitted, return
384 the characters up to (but not including) the current position. It is an
385 error if @<place-b> precedes @<place-a> or they are from different
388 This function is a character-scanner-specific extension to the
389 place-capture protocol; not all character scanners implement the
390 place-capture protocol, and some that do may not implement this function.
393 \subsubsection{Stream access to character scanners}
394 Sometimes it can be useful to apply the standard Lisp character input
395 operations to the sequence of characters held by a character scanner.
397 \begin{describe}{gf}{make-scanner-stream @<scanner> @> @<stream>}
398 Returns a fresh input @|stream| object which fetches input characters from
399 the character scanner object @<scanner>. Reading characters from the
400 stream steps the scanner. The stream will reach end-of-file when the
401 scanner reports end-of-file. If the scanner implements the file-location
402 protocol then reading from the stream will change the file location in an
405 This is mostly useful for applying standard Lisp stream functions, most
406 particularly the @|read| function, in the middle of a parsing operation.
409 \begin{describe}{cls}{character-scanner-stream (stream) \&key :scanner}
410 A Common Lisp input @|stream| object which works using the character
411 scanner protocol. Any @<scanner> which implements the base scanner and
412 character scanner protocols is suitable. See @|make-scanner-stream|.
415 \subsection{String scanners} \label{sec:parsing.scanner.string}
417 A \emph{string scanner} is a simple kind of character scanner which reads
418 input from a string object. String scanners implement the character scanner
419 and place-capture protocols.
421 \begin{describe}{cls}{string-scanner}
422 The class of string scanners. The @|string-scanner| class is not a
423 subclass of @|character-scanner|.
426 \begin{describe}{fun}{string-scanner-p @<value> @> @<generalized-boolean>}
427 Return non-nil if @<value> is a @|string-scanner| object; otherwise return
431 \begin{describe}{fun}
432 {make-string-scanner @<string> \&key :start :end @> @<string-scanner>}
433 Construct and return a fresh @|string-scanner| object. The new scanner
434 will read characters from @<string>, starting at index @<start> (which
435 defaults to zero), and continuing until it reaches index @<end> (defaults
436 to the end of the @<string>).
439 \subsection{Character buffer scanners} \label{sec:parsing.scanner.charbuf}
441 A \emph{character buffer scanner}, or \emph{charbuf scanner} for short, is an
442 efficient scanner for reading characters from an input stream. Charbuf
443 scanners implements the basic scanner, character buffer, place-capture, and
444 file-location protocols.
446 \begin{describe}{cls}
447 {charbuf-scanner (character-scanner)
448 \&key :stream :filename :line :column}
449 The class of charbuf scanners. The scanner will read characters from
450 @<stream>. Charbuf scanners implement the file-location protocol: the
451 initial location is set from the given @<filename>, @<line> and @<column>;
452 the scanner will update the location as it reads its input.
455 \begin{describe}{cls}{charbuf-scanner-place}
456 The class of place objects captured by a charbuf scanner.
459 \begin{describe}{fun}
460 {charbuf-scanner-place-p @<value> @> @<generalized-boolean>}
461 Type predicate for charbuf scanner places: returns non-nil if @<value> is a
462 place captured by a charbuf scanner, and nil otherwise.
466 {charbuf-scanner-map @<scanner> @<func> \&optional @<fail>
467 \nlret @<result> @<success-flag> @<consumed-flag>}
468 Read characters from the @<scanner>'s buffers.
470 This is intended to be an efficient and versatile interface for reading
471 characters from a scanner in bulk. The function @<func> is invoked
474 (multiple-value-bind (@<donep> @<used>) \\ \ind\ind
475 (funcall @<func> @<buf> @<start> @<end>) \-\\
478 The argument @<buf> is a simple string; @<start> and @<end> are two
479 nonnegative fixnums, indicating that the subsequence of @<buf> between
480 @<start> (inclusive) and @<end> (exclusive) should be processed. If
481 @<func>'s return value @<donep> is nil then @<used> is ignored: the
482 function has consumed the entire buffer and wishes to read more. If
483 @<donep> is non-nil, then @<used> must be a fixnum such that $@<start> \le
484 @<used> \le @<end>$: the function has consumed the buffer as far as @<used>
485 (exclusive) and has completed successfully.
487 If end-of-file is encountered before @<func> completes successfully then it
488 fails: the @<fail> function is called with no arguments, and is expected to
489 return two values. If omitted, @<fail> defaults to
495 The @|charbuf-scanner-map| function returns three values. The first value
496 is the non-nil @<donep> value returned by @<func> if @|charbuf-scanner-map|
497 succeeded, or the first value returned by @<fail>; the second value is @|t|
498 on success, or the second value returned by @<fail>; the third value is
499 non-nil if @<func> consumed any input, i.e., it returned with @<donep> nil
500 at least once, or with $@<used> > @<start>$.
