| @section LALR(1) Parsing | |
| The @code{(system base lalr)} module provides the | |
| @uref{https://github.com/schemeway/lalr-scm/, @code{lalr-scm} LALR(1) parser | |
| generator by Dominique Boucher}. @code{lalr-scm} uses the same algorithm as GNU | |
| Bison (@pxref{Introduction, Introduction to Bison,, bison, Bison@comma{} The | |
| Yacc-compatible Parser Generator}). Parsers are defined using the | |
| @code{lalr-parser} macro. | |
| @deffn {Scheme Syntax} lalr-parser [@var{options}] @var{tokens} @var{rules}... | |
| Generate an LALR(1) syntax analyzer. @var{tokens} is a list of symbols | |
| representing the terminal symbols of the grammar. @var{rules} are the grammar | |
| production rules. | |
| Each rule has the form @code{(@var{non-terminal} (@var{rhs} ...) : @var{action} | |
| ...)}, where @var{non-terminal} is the name of the rule, @var{rhs} are the | |
| right-hand sides, i.e., the production rule, and @var{action} is a semantic | |
| action associated with the rule. | |
| The generated parser is a two-argument procedure that takes a | |
| @dfn{tokenizer} and a @dfn{syntax error procedure}. The tokenizer | |
| should be a thunk that returns lexical tokens as produced by | |
| @code{make-lexical-token}. The syntax error procedure may be called | |
| with at least an error message (a string), and optionally the lexical | |
| token that caused the error. | |
