(** A generic lexical analyzer.
This module implements a simple ``standard'' lexical analyzer, presented
as a function from character streams to token streams. It implements
roughly the lexical conventions of Caml, but is parameterized by the
set of keywords of your language.
Example: a lexer suitable for a desk calculator is obtained by
{[ let lexer = make_lexer ["+";"-";"*";"/";"let";"="; "("; ")"] ]}
The associated parser would be a function from [token stream]
to, for instance, [int], and would have rules such as:
{[
let parse_expr = parser
[< 'Int n >] -> n
| [< 'Kwd "("; n = parse_expr; 'Kwd ")" >] -> n
| [< n1 = parse_expr; n2 = parse_remainder n1 >] -> n2
and parse_remainder n1 = parser
[< 'Kwd "+"; n2 = parse_expr >] -> n1+n2
| ...
]}
*)
(** The type of tokens. The lexical classes are: [Int] and [Float]
for integer and floating-point numbers; [String] for
string literals, enclosed in double quotes; [Char] for
character literals, enclosed in single quotes; [Ident] for
identifiers (either sequences of letters, digits, underscores
and quotes, or sequences of ``operator characters'' such as
[+], [*], etc); and [Kwd] for keywords (either identifiers or
single ``special characters'' such as [(], [}], etc). *)
type token =
Kwd of string
| Ident of string
| Int of int
| Float of float
| String of string
| Char of char
val make_lexer : string list -> char Stream.t -> token Stream.t
(** Construct the lexer function. The first argument is the list of
keywords. An identifier [s] is returned as [Kwd s] if [s]
belongs to this list, and as [Ident s] otherwise.
A special character [s] is returned as [Kwd s] if [s]
belongs to this list, and cause a lexical error (exception
[Parse_error]) otherwise. Blanks and newlines are skipped.
Comments delimited by [(*] and [*)] are skipped as well,
and can be nested. *)
