# Assembled with the script 'compile.pss' start: # # pars/compile.pss # # This is a parse-script which compiles parse-scripts (!). # # What is more, it can compile itself... so we can do # >> pep -f compile.pss compile.pss > asm.new.pp # # This is useful because the resulting 'assembler' program (in sav.pp) # and printed to stdout, can be used as a replacement for 'asm.pp' # which is the default parse-script language compiler. The advantage # is that it is easier to maintain and add new sytax to compile.pss # than it is to 'asm.pp'. # # This script uses the virtual machine and engine implemented at # http://bumble.sf.net/books/pars/object/ It implements a script language # with a syntax reminiscent of sed and awk (much simpler than awk, but # more complex than sed). # # This code was created in a straightforward manner by adapting the # "assembled" code in 'asm.pp'. Some extra error checks were added. # Also, the EOF test was placed at the end of the script to remove # the 'last character' bug. It was evident that using the script # language is much more comfortable that hand-coding parse machine # assembler programs. # #HOW TO ADD A NEW COMMAND TO PEP # # In general, we would like to avoid adding new commands # (instructions) to the pep script-language/machine since we would # like to keep the machine and language as simple as possible. # However, after great thought and cogitation, sometimes new commands # or features seem like a good idea. To add a new command the # process is as follows: # # Add a constant in command.h and command.c in the info[] array. # Implement the commmand in machine.interp.c in the big switch # statement. Type "make" in the object/ folder to compile the code. # Test the new code in the pep interpreter with # >> pep -Ii "some text" # and type the new command. # # Then modify compile.pss to recognise the command when it is # in a script. # Then copy asm.pp to asm.old.pp # Then do # >> pep -f compile.pss compile.pss > asm.new.pp # >> cp asm.new.pp asm.pp # Now test your "newcommand" with eg # >> pep -e "r; newcommand; t;d;" -i "abcd" # # Now, if you wish, add the new command to the various # translation scripts in the tr/ folder. The modifications # required in the translation scripts are very similar to the # modifications made to the "compile.pss" script, except that # the target language is different. # #REPLACING ASMPP # # We can use this script as a replacement for "asm.pp" or # "asm.handcode.pp" which is a script assembler written by hand in # the parse machine assembly format (1 command per line, labels, jumps, # tests, etc). # # * replace asm.pp with compile.pss # ----- # # generate the new script assembler # cp asm.pp asm.old; pep -f compile.pss compile.pss > asm.new.pp # cp asm.new.pp asm.pp # # test the new assembler (the script "r;t;t;t;d;" will be compiled # # by the new asm.pp which we have just created. # pep -e "r;t;t;t;d;" -i "abcd" # # output: aaabbbcccddd # ,,, # # The advantage of all this, is that it is much easier to maintain and add # new syntax to "pars/compile.pss" than it is directly, to "pars/asm.pp" # # For example asm.handcode.pp still uses "rabbit hops" to compile "quoteset" # tokens (an old version of the "ortestset" token), which is very inefficient # but compile.pss uses the new look-ahead technique. Also, there are negated # tests implemented in compile.pss but not implemented in asm.handcode.pp # # I will no longer continue to maintain asm.handcode.pp because its real # purpose was to "bootstrap" the current script. I will maintain working # copies of asm.pp as generated by this script in case of future errors. # #NOTES # # The accumulator register was being used to generate true-jump # targets for testsets, but no longer # # This script can be used as the basis for many others which transform # scripts in some way. # # For example, to 'pretty-print' scripts, or to generate compilable c code # for a script using the functions in machine.methods.c. So, instead of # compiling to the "assembler" format for the machine (which is then # interpreted by the code in pep.c) we can compile to a series of c function # calls. This is c source code which can be compiled with gcc, producing an # executable version of the target script. # # This is an interesting idea, because we can transform a script into # compilable or executable code in a different language with a different # 'Machine' object. So, for example, we could write a Machine object in Ruby # or Java or Python or x86 assembler and then generate compilable or # executable code for that target environment. The compilable code would # consist of a series of method calls for the given object and test and # jumps. # # It will also be interesting to see if there is a significant performance # advantage in running executed, rather than interpreted scripts. see # tr/translate.c.pss or tr/translate.go.pss for creating executable parse # programs from scripts # #GRAMMAR NOTES # # The machine cannot directly implement the ebnf structures of repetition # "{...}", optionality "[...]" or grouping "(...)", so we need to express all # grammar rules only in terms of alternation |. Quotesets are a handy way to # express this in a script, eg # # * bnf rule: alpha ::= a | b | c ; # >> 'a','b','c' { clear; add "alpha*"; push; .reparse } # # It is sometimes straightforward to factor out the above ebnf structures, # but the result is a greater number of rules. # #SEE ALSO # # At http://bumble.sf.net/books/pars/ # object/pep.c # the current implementation of the machine interpreter and debugger. # object/*.c # the virtual machine and components # tr/translate.java.pss # compiles pep scripts to a stand-alone java source code file # tr/translate.go.pss # tr/translate.ruby.pss # tr/translate.python.pss # As above, for go, ruby and python. # asm.handcode.pp # a handcoded "assembly" compiler of the parse script language for # a previous version of the script language. This was how I # initially "bootstrapped" the pep language (before using the # current file, compile.pss to create new versions of the pep # language). # #USAGE # # This script is used to replace the hand-coded assembler file # "asm.handcode.pp" since it is much easier to maintain and add new syntax # for the parse-script language. Comments are preserved (largely) in the # output file. # # We can also do the seemingly strange operation # >> pep -f compile.pss compile.pss # which actually creates an 'assembler' version of itself in 'sav.pp' # which is then be suitable for use as an 'asm.pp' substitute. # (This is how we modify the syntax of the pep language, if need be). # This is quite tricky to think about since it is so self-referential. # # This is analogous to the equally strange operation # >> pep -f tr/translate.c.pss tr/translate.c.pss > eg/clang/tr.clang.c # which generates a compilable c language program of the compilable # script. # # It is possible to compile this script into a stand-alone # executable with: # ---- # pep -f tr/translate.c.pss tr/translate.c.pss > eg/clang/tr.clang.c # cd eg/clang/ # gcc -o tr.clang.c -Lobject -lmachine -Iobject # ,,,, # #TESTING # # * view how this script compiles an inline script # >> pep -f compile.pss -i "[aeiou] {a '(vowel)'; } t;d;" # # The result will also be saved in "sav.pp" # # * see how the compiled script runs # >> pep -a sav.pp -i "abcde" # output: a(vowel)bcde(vowel) # # * test "test chaining" compilation # >> pep -f compile.pss -i "r;'a','b','c'{t;}t;d;" # >> pep -a sav.pp -i "axbxcx" # output should be: aaxbbxccx # # * view/debug how compile.pss compiles test chains (or something else) # >> pep -If compile.pss -i "r;'a','b','c'{t;}t;d;" # # This provides interactive debugging of the compilation process. # #FIXED BUGS # # I was getting segmentation faults because of one-off errors etc # >> pep -f compile.pss compile.pss # Mainly fixed with "valgrind", but still a bug in "until" (in # object/machine.interp.c execute()... need to implement endsWith() function. # And one other bug. # * didnt need 2 jumps after "tests", just 1 jumpfalse or jumptrue # used "replace" to remove the unnecessary jump # # * eg: add "\\"; threw an error and also: replace "\\" "\\\\"; # This was a problem with the "until" implementation in machine.interp.c # It was actually necessary to count the number of escape chars # before the suffix. If even, break, if not, dont. # #BUGS # # * missing braces in scripts dont produce good error messages, # just a cryptic "script could not be compiled". # # * should I unescape single quotes in single quote blocks?? # eg ' abc\'xyz' will become " abc'xyz" # # * doesnt catch B[abc] or E[a-z] type errors in scripts. Also # doesnt catch "r;r;d" type errors. # * Also, un-balanced braces give cryptic error messages # # compile.pss should not write the compiled script to stdout # because then asm.pp will do the same thing. easy enough to fix # in asm.pp as well (comment out final 2 "print" commands). # # Comments may not be parsing correctly. # # Comments and multiline comments should not jump back to read # after deleting the comment, because there could be no more # input, and read will throw an error. They should jump to # the EOF end-of-file check. Or they could just call ".reparse" # which is safe but not very efficient. # #TODO # # Add an "echar" command that changes the default escape # character. Also, in some languages a character actually # escapes itself, eg '' is ' escaped! # # We could allow single argument "replace" command eg: # >> replace "x"; # which is equivalent to # >> replace "x" "": # # Need to catch multiline quote errors when used with the # "until" command. # # Separate error checking into a new script, and make pep load # an assembled version of this error checker. This will allow # the same error checker to be used with the scripts # tr/translate.java.pss tr/translate.tcl.pss etc. # #HISTORY # # 19 aug 2022 # Need to add "esc" to change default escape char. # "write " to write to a given file # "quit " to exit with an error code. # Try to change the grammar to allow expression syntax # as in tr/translate.perl.pss Need to make better # error checking. # # 15 june 2021 # Adding the commands "upper" "lower" and "cap" # "nochars" "nolines" # # 13 march 2020 # Added compilation for multiline arguments for the "add" # command. Appears to be working. # # 15 sept 2019 # Realised that I can have an eof error check block at # the end of the script just before all the tokens are # pushed back on the stack. See the 1 and 2 token eof error # check in this script. # # 13 september 2019 # Adding "mark" and "go" commands here. # Improved unterminated quote '/" error messages. In general # it is much more helpful to catch the error when it happens # and print an informative message (with line-number etc). # # 5 september 2019 # # Added a "stack" and "unstack" command to the machine and # to compile.pss # # 29 august 2019 # # Improved some error checks. Could make the error check code # more succinct. # # Changed the way testeof and testtape are parsed to include # them with other tests. This also allows to negate them with # !(==) and !(eof) and also to concatenate with other tests # eg: (eof),B"abc" {} # added extra syntax and <==> for these tests. # # 25 august 2019 # # Realised that I dont need 2 jumps for OR test concatenation (with ',') # That will greatly improve script interpretation efficiency. # # Added AND concatenation logic to tests so now we can do # # * test if workspace begins with 'a' AND ends with 'z' # >> B"a".E"z" {} # # Changed the way .reparse and .restart are parsed and compiled. # These are now parsed as 2 tokens ".*word*". This allows me to # use '.' for AND logic concatenation in tests. It also allows # me to provide special semantic meaning to commands beginning with # a dot, which seems like a good thing. # # Added "delim" command here and in machine.c and machine.interp.c, # to change the stack delimiter. # # 24 august 2019 # # The "state*" token should be separated into "testeof*" and # "testtape*" and then the 2 tests can be elided.(done) # # The conversion to a "test*{*" rule and ellision of # multiple tests will make this script much more compact and hopefully # just as readable. Also, as a side effect, negation of all # tests will be available soon. Also, it is possible to chain together # different types of tests. # # Converted quoteset to "ortestset*" and "andtestset*". # I will introduce a new notation namely: # # * check if workspace begins with "abc" AND ends with "xyz" # >> B"abc" . E"xyz" { commands } # # so the dot will become an "AND" (&&) concatenator of tests # and "," will remain as the "OR" (||) concatenator of tests # In these || and && test lists any type of test can be # included for example # # * check if workspace starts with "a", only contains chars a|b|c # * and ends with the letter "z" (using "." AND concatenator) # >> B"abc" . [abc] . E"z" { ... } # # Experimenting with the new technique to create negated tokens # classes. # # * test negated tokens for the equality test # >> pep -f compile.pss -i 'r;!"b",!"a"{nop;}' # # 23 august 2019 # # Adding begintests B"..." { } and endtests E"..." {} to the quoteset logic. # But need to juggle the combinations. Also will add classes and negated # classes. More or less working. But should actually change parsing to # make quotesets more flexible, see the section of the script for details. # # The new quoteset compilation seems to be working. # Needs more testing. We can now use compile.pss as a replacement # for asm.pp. # # Converting to a new quoteset (eg: 'n','m' {...} ) lookahead compiling # technique. Also we can compile comments with rules for # "comment*command*" and "command*comment*" and "comment*comment*" -> # "comment*". Instead of the current shenanigins. # # 14 august 2019 # # trying to preserve comments here but cant reduce comments # with tokens like {* }* !* etc because we never retrieve # the attributes for those tokens. more thought required. # # Added a !"text" {...} syntax. very simple to add here. # did the same in compilable.c.pss # # Added a "begin" block to this (for start configurations of scripts). # Also need to improve the compilation of "quoteset*" tokens which produce # nifty but very poor code. need 'tapereplace' command for this? # # 30 july 2019 # Fixed the last character bug by putting the EOF test at the very end of # the file.
