LL(1) Grammar Verification and Recursive Descent Parser Implementation

Consider the grammar $ G(S) $: $ S \rightarrow AB $ $ A \rightarrow Da \mid \varepsilon $ $ B \rightarrow cC $ $ C \rightarrow aADC \mid \varepsilon $ $ D \rightarrow b \mid \varepsilon $ To determine if this grammar is LL(1), compute the necessary FIRST, FOLLOW, and SELECT sets: $ \text{FIRST}(Da) = {b, a} $ $ \text{FIRST}(\varepsilon) = {\ ...

Defining Reusable Grammar Macros in LALRPOP

When constructing formal grammars, developers frequently encounter repetitive syntactic patterns. A typical scenario involves parsing delimiter-separated sequences, such as lists of identifiers or arithmetic expressions. Manually expanding these rules results in verbose definitions that are difficult to maintain and prone to copy-paste errors. ...
