  8. Live Assignments P1 H2 From FSMs to Tokenizers…Where we left off last time… • Give our FSMs the ability to put chars back Amount to rewind Token to return , A S3 (letter, digit) letter S2 S • Add an EOF (end of file) alphabet symbol letter, digit

  9. A Simple TokenizerDFA -> Tokenizer • Consider a language with 2 statement types • Assignment: ID = expr • Increment: ID += expr • Where expr is of the form • ID + ID • ID < ID • ID <= ID • Identifiers follow C conventions

  10. A Simple TokenizerDFA -> Tokenizer ‘=‘ (‘=‘) (‘=‘) ‘=‘ B C ‘<‘ ‘+‘ A A A A A A G H A E F I ‘=‘ S ‘_’ |letter ‘_‘|letter|digit D (‘_‘|letter|digit) (: any other character)

  16. Live Assignments P1 H2 This TimePreview Lecture 3 – Defining Syntax How Language Syntax is Formally Defined • Check in on our compiler • Quick review of Context-Free Grammars • Why we need ‘em • How we use ‘em Syntactic Definition

  17. Building the CompilerProgress Pics Source code (sequence of chars) Scanner Lexical analysis • Our Enhanced-RegEx scanner can emit a stream of tokens: Parser Syntactic analysis In progress + X Z Y = Semantic analysis • … but doesn’t enforce structure IR (Intermediate Representation) code generation IR optimization Code generation Machine code optimization Output code in T

  18. Building the CompilerProgress Pics • Our Enhanced-RegEx scanner can emit a stream of tokens: + X Z Y = • … but doesn’t enforce structure An unstructured, unordered soup of tokens

  19. Regular Languages: Lack StrengthCFGs: Why we need ‘em Cannot specify source code constructs we need using RegExes • i.e. No DFAs can recognize exactly the constructs we need Cute, but weak

  20. Regular Languages: Matching ProblemCFGs: Why we need ‘em Consider language of nested parentheses: Examples: ( ) (( )) () ()

  21. Regular Languages: Matching ProblemCFGs: Why we need ‘em Consider language of nested parentheses: cannot be matched by a regular expression (it is not a regular language) • Intuition: An FSM can only handle a finite depth of parentheses that we can handle • Lets sketch the proof

  22. Nested Parens: Proof SketchCFGs: Why we need ‘em S Assume an FSM can recognize Let be the number of states in . Feed left-parens into We must have revisited some state on two input positions and . There must be a path from to a final state. But this means that it accepts some suffix of closed parens at input and , but both cannot be correct ? ? ?

  23. A Brief Reality CheckCFGs: Why we need ‘em Question 1: Given the previous, can we recognize the language C-Style comments with regex? /* … */

  24. Need More Powerful Languages ClassCFGs: Why we need ‘em Chomsky Hierarchy: Recursively enumerable Context-Sensitive Context-Free Regular

  25. Why Not Max Out Power Level?CFGs: Why we need ‘em Question: Why not use something more powerful for tokenization? Expressive power comes with a price • Less efficient matching • Fewer properties of the language

  26. Defining Languages with GrammarsCFGs: How we use ‘em • A set of (recursive) rewriting rules to rewrite sequence of symbols • Any “completed” sequence represents a string in the language

  27. Defining Languages with GrammarsCFGs: How we use ‘em • A set of (recursive) rewriting rules to rewrite sequence of symbols • Any “completed” sequence represents a string in the language CFG = (N,,P,S) where: • N: set of nonterminal symbols • : set of terminal symbols • P: set of productions • S: start nonterminal in N Rules where LHS: a single nonterminal symbol RHS: a sequence of any symbols

  28. Defining Languages with GrammarsCFGs: How we use ‘em Example: N = { A } = { (, ), } S = A P CFG = (N,,P,S) where: • N: set of nonterminal symbols • : set of terminal symbols • P: set of productions • S: start nonterminal in N

  29. Defining Languages with GrammarsCFGs: How we use ‘em Producing a string Example: N = { A } = { (, ), } S = A P Begin sequence with start symbol A Apply a production in P (a derivation step) Get a new sequence Apply another production in P Get a new sequence Apply another production in P Get a new sequence All terminals, this string is in language

  30. Simplifying Notation: ShorthandCFGs: How we use ‘em Example: N = { A } = { (, ), } S = A P Say N and Implicit: Whatever symbols appears in productions Say S Implicit: LHS of top production Collapse rules with the same LHS using bar of context-free grammar notation

  31. Simplifying Notation: ShorthandCFGs: How we use ‘em Example: N = { A } = { (, ), } S = A P Denote grammar as Say N and Implicit: Whatever symbols appears in productions A ( A ) | Or equivalently as Say S Implicit: LHS of top production A ( A ) | Collapse rules with the same LHS using bar

  32. Simplifying Notation: ShorthandCFGs: How we use ‘em • EBNF (Backus Normal Form) Denote grammar as A ::= ( A ) | A ( A ) | Or equivalently as A ( A ) |

  33. Some languages denoted in BNFCFGs: How we use ‘em A ::= ( A ) | l o l FlGo l F ::= l G ol | ro f l G ::= G o | FlGol lGo o l l o o l Frofl a a Y Y a Y Y ::= aY Z ::= w t f a aa Y … Accepts no strings (not even the empty string)

  34. Parse TreesCFGs: How we use ‘em lGol lGo o l l o o l F Represent Derivations • Nodes are symbols in a tree • Rooted at start symbol • Children are derivation step • Leaves are final string (if all nonterminals) F l G o l G o

  35. CFG use in the CompilerCFGs: How we use ‘em Compile Push Symbols

  36. CFG use in the CompilerCFGs: How we use ‘em CFG for PL Syntactic Structure Productions specify valid programs • Let set of terminals be the tokens in the language • Let the nonterminals be the groupings of language constructs • (loops, statements, functions, calls, etc) • The grammar will recognize (or reject) the stream of tokens from the Lexer Let’s see an example with this grammar Productions Prog ::= beginStmtsend Stmts ::= Stmtssemi Stmt | Stmt Stmt ::= idassignExpr Expr ::= id | Exprcrossid
