Subject: More problems with simple quotation parser
Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2008 11:47:15 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BC67582D4FC8ED45BAABE48343BF571102FD6A9BA2@azsmsx501.amr.corp.intel.com> (raw)
I've hit another problem with the simple string transformation
quotation parser (see my previous message). For the sake of this
example, here is a somewhat simplified variant, which I turn
into "Quotexpander.cma":
open Camlp4.PreCast;;
module Caml =
Camlp4OCamlParser.Make
(Camlp4OCamlRevisedParser.Make
(Camlp4.OCamlInitSyntax.Make(Ast)(Gram)(Quotation)));;
let quotexpander s = "\"" ^ String.escaped s ^ "\"";;
let patt_quotexpander loc _loc_name_opt str =
Gram.parse_string Caml.patt loc (quotexpander str);;
let expr_quotexpander loc _loc_name_opt str =
Gram.parse_string Caml.expr loc (quotexpander str);;
let str_item_quotexpander loc loc_name_opt str =
<:str_item@loc< $exp: expr_quotexpander loc loc_name_opt str$ >>;;
let () =
Syntax.Quotation.add "" Syntax.Quotation.DynAst.expr_tag expr_quotexpander;
Syntax.Quotation.add "" Syntax.Quotation.DynAst.str_item_tag
str_item_quotexpander;
Syntax.Quotation.add "" Syntax.Quotation.DynAst.patt_tag patt_quotexpander;;
This doesn't always seem to work properly when quotations are
subexpressions of larger expressions. Some of the issues seem to
be lexical:
Objective Caml version 3.10.0
# #load "camlp4o.cma";;
Camlp4 Parsing version 3.10.0
# #load "Quotexpander.cma";;
# <<ok>>;;
- : string = "ok"
# (<<ok>>);;
- : string = "ok"
# [<<not ok>>];;
Parse error: illegal begin of top_phrase
# [ <<not ok>> ];;
- : string list = ["not ok"]
Others I'm not so sure about:
# <<not>> ^ <<ok>>;;
# Parse error: illegal begin of top_phrase
# (<<not>>) ^ (<<ok>>);;
- : string = "notok"
Any idea what's going on? Do I need to put some kind of wrapping
round the transformed phrase?
John.
