Overview

Package parser generates an AST for Evy programs.

First, Evy source code is tokenized by the lexer, then the generated tokens are parsed into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) by the Parse function. Finally, the evaluator walks the AST and executes the program. This package is concerned with the second step of parsing tokens into an AST.

Parsing

The Parse function in this package uses a top-down, recursive descent parsing approach. This means that parsing starts with the top-level structure of the program and recursively descends into its components.

Expression parsing is a particularly tricky part of the parsing process. Expressions are used in variable declarations, assignments, function calls, and many other places. Expressions are not simply evaluated top-down, left-to-right. For example, in the expression 2+3*4, the multiplication operator * has higher precedence than the addition operator +. This means that the expression 3*4 must be evaluated before the expression 2+3.

To handle expressions with different levels of precedence, the Parse function uses a Pratt parser. A Pratt parser is a type of top-down, recursive descent parser that can handle expressions with different levels of precedence.

Abstract Syntax Tree

The Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) is a hierarchical representation of an Evy program's structure. It is the result of the Parse function. It can be used for evaluation, further analysis, and code generation, such as formatted printing of the Evy source code with Program.Format. The AST consists of a tree of nodes, each of which implements the Node interface.

Each node in the AST represents a different element of the program's structure. The root node of the AST represents the entire Program. The root node's direct child nodes are block statements and basic statements.

Block statements contain further statements. They include:

  • FuncDefStmt: A statement that defines a function.
  • EventHandlerStmt: A statement that defines an event handler.
  • IfStmt: A statement that executes a block of code if a condition is met.
  • ForStmt: A statement that executes a block of code repeatedly.
  • WhileStmt: A statement that executes a block of code repeatedly while a condition is met.

Basic statements are statements that cannot be broken down into further statements. They include:

  • TypedDeclStmt: A statement that declares a variable of an explicitly specified type.
  • InferredDeclStmt: A statement that declares a variable with a type that is inferred from the value.
  • AssignmentStmt: A statement that assigns a value to a variable.
  • FuncCallStmt: A statement that calls a function.
  • ReturnStmt: A statement that returns from a function.
  • BreakStmt: A statement that breaks out of a loop.

The components of basic statements are:

Variables are named references to values. Literals are values that are directly represented in the Evy source code. Expressions are combinations of variables, literals, operators and function calls to form new values.

This structure closely resembles the grammar of the Evy programming language, as defined in the language specification.

func (t *TypeAssertion) Token() *lexer.Token

Token returns the token of the Evy source program associated with the TypeAssertion node.

func (*TypeAssertion) Type 

func (t *TypeAssertion) Type() *Type

Type returns the type of the TypeAssertion, which is the type that is asserted.

type TypeName 

type TypeName int

TypeName represents the enumerable basic types (such as num, string, and bool), categories of composite types (such as array and map), the dynamic type (any), and the none type, which is used where no type is expected. TypeName is used in the Type struct which fully specifies all types, including composite types. 

const (
	NUM TypeName = iota
	STRING
	BOOL
	ANY
	ARRAY
	MAP
	NONE // for functions without return value, declaration statements, etc.
)

The enumerated basic types, categories of composite types, any and none are defined as constants.

func (TypeName) String 

func (t TypeName) String() string

type TypedDeclStmt 

type TypedDeclStmt struct {
	Decl *Decl
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

TypedDeclStmt is an AST node that represents a typed declaration statement. A typed declaration statement declares a variable of an explicitly specified type, such as n:num.

TypedDeclStmt implements the Node interface.

func (*TypedDeclStmt) String 

func (d *TypedDeclStmt) String() string

String returns a string representation of the TypedDeclStmt node.

func (*TypedDeclStmt) Token 

func (d *TypedDeclStmt) Token() *lexer.Token

Token returns the token of the Evy source program associated with the TypedDeclStmt node.

func (*TypedDeclStmt) Type 

func (d *TypedDeclStmt) Type() *Type

Type returns the type of the variable that is declared.

type UnaryExpression 

type UnaryExpression struct {
	Op    Operator
	Right Node
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

UnaryExpression is an AST node that represents a unary expression, such as: -n.

UnaryExpression implements the Node interface.

func (*UnaryExpression) String 

func (u *UnaryExpression) String() string

String returns a string representation of the UnaryExpression node.

func (*UnaryExpression) Token 

func (u *UnaryExpression) Token() *lexer.Token

Token returns the token of the Evy source program associated with the UnaryExpression node.

func (*UnaryExpression) Type 

func (u *UnaryExpression) Type() *Type

Type returns the type of the UnaryExpression, such as bool or num.

type Var 

type Var struct {
	Name string
	T    *Type
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Var is an AST node that represents a variable, its name and type but not its value.

Var implements the Node interface.

func (*Var) String 

func (v *Var) String() string

String returns a string representation of the Var node.

func (*Var) Token 

func (v *Var) Token() *lexer.Token

Token returns the token of the Evy source program associated with the Var node.

func (*Var) Type 

func (v *Var) Type() *Type

Type returns the type of the variable.

type WhileStmt 

type WhileStmt struct {
	ConditionalBlock
}

WhileStmt is an AST node that represents a while statement, such as 

while true
    print "🌞"
end

WhileStmt implements the Node interface.

func (*WhileStmt) String 

func (w *WhileStmt) String() string

String returns a string representation of the WhileStmt node.

func (*WhileStmt) Token 

func (w *WhileStmt) Token() *lexer.Token

Token returns the token of the Evy source program associated with the WhileStmt node.

func (*WhileStmt) Type 

func (w *WhileStmt) Type() *Type

Type returns NONE_TYPE for WhileStmt because a while statement does not have a type.
