MLLex is a lexical analyzer generator for <a href="StandardML">Standard ML</a> modeled after the Lex lexical analyzer generator. <p>
A version of MLLex, ported from the <a href="SMLNJ">SML/NJ</a> sources, is distributed with MLton.
</p>
<h2 id="head-55f8ebc805e65b5b71ddafdae390e3be2bcd69af">Description</h2>
<p>
MLLex takes as input the lex language as defined in the ML-Lex manual, and outputs a lexical analyzer in SML.

<p>
There are 3 main passes in the MLLex tool:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Source parsing. In this pass, lex source program are parsed into internal representations. The core part of this pass is a hand-written lexer and an LL(1) parser. The output of this pass is a record of user code, rules (along with start states) and actions. (MLlex definitions are wiped off.)
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
DFA construction. In this pass, a DFA is constructed by the algorithm of H. Yamada et. al.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Output. In this pass, the generated DFA is written out as a transition table, along with a table-driven algorithm, to an SML file.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
