public class Main
extends java.lang.Object

This class serves as the main driver for the JavaCup system. It accepts user options and coordinates overall control flow. The main flow of control includes the following activities:

• Parse user supplied arguments and options.
• Open output files.
• Parse the specification from standard input.
• Check for unused terminals, non-terminals, and productions.
• Build the state machine, tables, etc.
• Output the generated code.
• Close output files.
• Print a summary if requested.

Options to the main program include:

-package name

specify package generated classes go in [default none]

-parser name

specify parser class name [default "parser"]

-symbols name

specify name for symbol constant class [default "sym"]

-interface

emit symbol constant interface, rather than class

-nonterms

put non terminals in symbol constant class

-expect #

number of conflicts expected/allowed [default 0]

-compact_red

compact tables by defaulting to most frequent reduce

-nowarn

don't warn about useless productions, etc.

-nosummary

don't print the usual summary of parse states, etc.

-progress

print messages to indicate progress of the system

-time

print time usage summary

-dump_grammar

produce a dump of the symbols and grammar

-dump_states

produce a dump of parse state machine

-dump_tables

produce a dump of the parse tables

-dump

produce a dump of all of the above

-debug

turn on debugging messages within JavaCup

-nopositions

don't generate the positions code

-noscanner

don't refer to java_cup.runtime.Scanner in the parser (for compatibility with old runtimes)

-version

print version information for JavaCUP and halt.

Print a "usage message" that described possible command line options, then exit.

Parameters:

message - a specific error message to preface the usage message by.

parse_args

protected static void parse_args(java.lang.String[] argv)

parse_grammar_spec

protected static void parse_grammar_spec()
                                  throws java.lang.Exception

Parse the grammar specification from standard input. This produces sets of terminal, non-terminals, and productions which can be accessed via static variables of the respective classes, as well as the setting of various variables (mostly in the emit class) for small user supplied items such as the code to scan with.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

check_unused

protected static void check_unused()

Check for unused symbols. Unreduced productions get checked when tables are created.

build_parser

protected static void build_parser()
                            throws internal_error

Build the (internal) parser from the previously parsed specification. This includes:

• Computing nullability of non-terminals.
• Computing first sets of non-terminals and productions.
• Building the viable prefix recognizer machine.
• Filling in the (internal) parse tables.
• Checking for unreduced productions.

Throws:

internal_error

emit_parser

protected static void emit_parser()
                           throws internal_error

Call the emit routines necessary to write out the generated parser.

Throws:

Parameters:

val - the numerical value determining plurality.

emit_summary

protected static void emit_summary(boolean output_produced)

Emit a long summary message to standard error (System.err) which summarizes what was found in the specification, how many states were produced, how many conflicts were found, etc. A detailed timing summary is also produced if it was requested by the user.
