What do all those files mean?
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
* `zend_language_parser.phpy`: PHP grammer written in a pseudo language
|
|
* `analyze.php`: Analyzes the `.phpy`-grammer and outputs some info about it
|
|
* `rebuildParser.php`: Preprocesses the `.phpy`-grammar and builds the parser using `kmyacc`
|
|
* `kmyacc.php.parser`: A `kmyacc` parser prototype file for PHP
|
|
|
|
.phpy pseudo language
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
The `.phpy` file is a normal grammer in `kmyacc` (`yacc`) style, with some transformations
|
|
applied to it:
|
|
|
|
* Nodes are created using the syntax `Name[..., ...]`. This is transformed into
|
|
`new Name(..., ..., attributes())`
|
|
* Some function-like constructs are resolved (see `rebuildParser.php` for a list)
|
|
* Associative arrays are written as `[key: value, ...]`, which is transformed to
|
|
`array('key' => value, ...)`
|
|
|
|
Building the parser
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
In order to rebuild the parser, you need [moriyoshi's fork of kmyacc](https://github.com/moriyoshi/kmyacc-forked).
|
|
After you compiled/installed it, run the `rebuildParser.php` script.
|
|
|
|
By default only the `Parser.php` is built. If you want to additionally emit debug symbols and create `y.output`, run the
|
|
script with `--debug`. If you want to retain the preprocessed grammar pass `--keep-tmp-grammar`.
