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.

247 \section{Scanners} \label{sec:parsing.scanner}
249 A \emph{scanner} is an object which keeps track of a parser's progress as it
250 works through its input. There's no common base class for scanners: a
251 scanner is simply any object which implements the scanner protocol described
254 A scanner maintains a sequence of items to read. It can step forwards
255 through the items, one at a time, until it reaches the end (if, indeed, the
256 sequence is finite, which it needn't be). Until that point, there is a
257 current item, though there's no protocol for accessing it at this level
258 because the nature of the items is left unspecified.
260 Some scanners support an additional \emph{place-capture} protocol which
261 allows rewinding the scanner to an earlier point in the input so that it can
265 \subsection{Basic scanner protocol} \label{sec:parsing.scanner.basic}
267 The basic protocol supports stepping the scanner forward through its input
268 sequence, and detecting the end of the sequence.
270 \begin{describe}{gf}{scanner-step @<scanner>}
271 Advance the @<scanner> to the next item, which becomes current.
273 It is an error to step the scanner if the scanner is at end-of-file.
276 \begin{describe}{gf}{scanner-at-eof-p @<scanner> @> @<generalized-boolean>}
277 Return non-nil if the scanner is at end-of-file, i.e., there are no more
280 If nil is returned, there is a current item, and it is safe to step the
281 scanner again; otherwise, it is an error to query the current item or to
286 \subsection{Place-capture scanner protocol} \label{sec:parsing.scanner.place}
288 The place-capture protocol allows rewinding to an earlier point in the
289 sequence. Not all scanners support the place-capture protocol.
291 To rewind a scanner to a particular point, that point must be \emph{captured}
292 as a \emph{place} when it's current -- so you must know in advance that this
293 is an interesting place that's worth capturing. The type of place returned
294 depends on the type of scanner. Given a captured place, the scanner can be
295 rewound to the position held in it.
297 Depending on how the scanner works, holding onto a captured place might
298 consume a lot of memory or cause poor performance. For example, if the
299 scanner is reading from an input stream, having a captured place means that
300 data from that point on must be buffered in case the program needs to rewind
301 the scanner and read that data again. Therefore it's possible to
302 \emph{release} a place when it turns out not to be needed any more.
304 \begin{describe}{gf}{scanner-capture-place @<scanner> @> @<place>}
305 Capture the @<scanner>'s current position as a place, and return the place.
308 \begin{describe}{gf}{scanner-restore-place @<scanner> @<place>}
309 Rewind the @<scanner> to the state it was in when @<place> was captured.
310 In particular, the item that was current when the @<place> was captured
311 becomes current again.
313 It is an error to restore a @<place> that has been released, or if the
314 @<place> wasn't captured from the @<scanner>.
317 \begin{describe}{gf}{scanner-release-place @<scanner> @<place>}
318 Release the @<place>, to avoid having to maintaining the ability to restore
319 it after it's not needed any more..
321 It is an error if the @<place> wasn't captured from the @<scanner>.
324 \begin{describe}{mac}
325 {with-scanner-place (@<place> @<scanner>) @<declarations>^* @<form>^*
327 Capture the @<scanner>'s current position as a place, evaluate the @<form>s
328 as an implicit progn with the variable @<place> bound to the captured
329 place. When control leaves the @<form>s, the place is released. The
330 return values are the values of the final @<form>.
334 \subsection{Scanner file-location protocol} \label{sec:parsing.scanner.floc}
336 Some scanners participate in the file-location protocol
337 (\xref{sec:parsing.floc}). They implement a method on @|file-location| which
338 collects the necessary information using scanner-specific functions described
341 \begin{describe}{fun}{scanner-file-location @<scanner> @> @<file-location>}
342 Return a @|file-location| object describing the current position of the
345 This calls the @|scanner-filename|, @|scanner-line| and @|scanner-column|
346 generic functions on the scanner, and uses these to fill in an appropriate
349 Since there are default methods on these generic functions, it is not an
350 error to call @|scanner-file-location| on any kind of value, but it might
351 not be very useful. This function exists to do the work of appropriately
352 specialized methods on @|file-location|.
356 {\dhead{gf}{scanner-filename @<scanner> @> @<string>}
357 \dhead{gf}{scanner-line @<scanner> @> @<integer>}
358 \dhead{gf}{scanner-column @<scanner> @> @<integer>}}
359 Return the filename, line and column components of the @<scanner>'s current
360 position, for use in assembling a @<file-location>: see the
361 @|scanner-file-location| function.
363 There are default methods on all three generic functions which simply
368 \subsection{Character scanners} \label{sec:parsing.scanner.char}
370 Character scanners are scanners which read sequences of characters.
372 \begin{describe}{cls}{character-scanner () \&key}
373 Base class for character scanners. This provides some very basic
376 Not all character scanners are subclasses of @|character-scanner|.
379 \begin{describe}{gf}{scanner-current-char @<scanner> @> @<character>}
380 Returns the current character.
383 \begin{describe}{gf}{scanner-unread @<scanner> @<character>}
384 Rewind the @<scanner> by one step. The @<character> must be the previous
385 current character, and becomes the current character again. It is an error
386 if: the @<scanner> has reached end-of-file; the @<scanner> has never been
387 stepped; or @<character> was not the previous current character.
391 {scanner-interval @<scanner> @<place-a> \&optional @<place-b>
393 Return the characters in the @<scanner>'s input from @<place-a> up to (but
394 not including) @<place-b>.
396 The characters are returned as a string. If @<place-b> is omitted, return
397 the characters up to (but not including) the current position. It is an
398 error if @<place-b> precedes @<place-a> or they are from different
401 This function is a character-scanner-specific extension to the
402 place-capture protocol; not all character scanners implement the
403 place-capture protocol, and some that do may not implement this function.
406 \subsubsection{Stream access to character scanners}
407 Sometimes it can be useful to apply the standard Lisp character input
408 operations to the sequence of characters held by a character scanner.
410 \begin{describe}{gf}{make-scanner-stream @<scanner> @> @<stream>}
411 Returns a fresh input @|stream| object which fetches input characters from
412 the character scanner object @<scanner>. Reading characters from the
413 stream steps the scanner. The stream will reach end-of-file when the
414 scanner reports end-of-file. If the scanner implements the file-location
415 protocol then reading from the stream will change the file location in an
418 This is mostly useful for applying standard Lisp stream functions, most
419 particularly the @|read| function, in the middle of a parsing operation.
422 \begin{describe}{cls}{character-scanner-stream (stream) \&key :scanner}
423 A Common Lisp input @|stream| object which works using the character
424 scanner protocol. Any @<scanner> which implements the base scanner and
425 character scanner protocols is suitable. See @|make-scanner-stream|.
429 \subsection{String scanners} \label{sec:parsing.scanner.string}
431 A \emph{string scanner} is a simple kind of character scanner which reads
432 input from a string object. String scanners implement the character scanner
433 and place-capture protocols.
435 \begin{describe}{cls}{string-scanner}
436 The class of string scanners. The @|string-scanner| class is not a
437 subclass of @|character-scanner|.
440 \begin{describe}{fun}{string-scanner-p @<value> @> @<generalized-boolean>}
441 Return non-nil if @<value> is a @|string-scanner| object; otherwise return
445 \begin{describe}{fun}
446 {make-string-scanner @<string> \&key :start :end @> @<string-scanner>}
447 Construct and return a fresh @|string-scanner| object. The new scanner
448 will read characters from @<string>, starting at index @<start> (which
449 defaults to zero), and continuing until it reaches index @<end> (defaults
450 to the end of the @<string>).
454 \subsection{Character buffer scanners} \label{sec:parsing.scanner.charbuf}
456 A \emph{character buffer scanner}, or \emph{charbuf scanner} for short, is an
457 efficient scanner for reading characters from an input stream. Charbuf
458 scanners implements the basic scanner, character buffer, place-capture, and
459 file-location protocols.
461 \begin{describe}{cls}
462 {charbuf-scanner (character-scanner)
463 \&key :stream :filename :line :column}
464 The class of charbuf scanners. The scanner will read characters from
465 @<stream>. Charbuf scanners implement the file-location protocol: the
466 initial location is set from the given @<filename>, @<line> and @<column>;
467 the scanner will update the location as it reads its input.
470 \begin{describe}{cls}
471 {charbuf-scanner-stream (character-scanner-stream) \&key :scanner}
474 \begin{describe}{cls}{charbuf-scanner-place}
475 The class of place objects captured by a charbuf scanner.
478 \begin{describe}{fun}
479 {charbuf-scanner-place-p @<value> @> @<generalized-boolean>}
480 Type predicate for charbuf scanner places: returns non-nil if @<value> is a
481 place captured by a charbuf scanner, and nil otherwise.
485 {charbuf-scanner-map @<scanner> @<func> \&optional @<fail>
486 \nlret @<result> @<success-flag> @<consumed-flag>}
487 Read characters from the @<scanner>'s buffers.
489 This is intended to be an efficient and versatile interface for reading
490 characters from a scanner in bulk. The function @<func> is invoked
493 (multiple-value-bind (@<donep> @<used>) \\ \ind\ind
494 (funcall @<func> @<buf> @<start> @<end>) \-\\
497 The argument @<buf> is a simple string; @<start> and @<end> are two
498 nonnegative fixnums, indicating that the subsequence of @<buf> between
499 @<start> (inclusive) and @<end> (exclusive) should be processed. If
500 @<func>'s return value @<donep> is nil then @<used> is ignored: the
501 function has consumed the entire buffer and wishes to read more. If
502 @<donep> is non-nil, then @<used> must be a fixnum such that $@<start> \le
503 @<used> \le @<end>$: the function has consumed the buffer as far as @<used>
504 (exclusive) and has completed successfully.
506 If end-of-file is encountered before @<func> completes successfully then it
507 fails: the @<fail> function is called with no arguments, and is expected to
508 return two values. If omitted, @<fail> defaults to
514 The @|charbuf-scanner-map| function returns three values. The first value
515 is the non-nil @<donep> value returned by @<func> if @|charbuf-scanner-map|
516 succeeded, or the first value returned by @<fail>; the second value is @|t|
517 on success, or the second value returned by @<fail>; the third value is
518 non-nil if @<func> consumed any input, i.e., it returned with @<donep> nil
519 at least once, or with $@<used> > @<start>$.
