production, and by keeping a separate `asn` stack, we can just pass a
pointer into this stack.
-The other allocation stores all other stack fields of which there are two.
+The other allocation stores all other stack fields of which there are four.
The `state` is the most important one and guides the parsing process. The
`sym` is nearly unnecessary. However when we want to free entries from the
`asn_stack`, it helps to know what type they are so we can call the right
freeing function. The symbol leads us to the right free function through
`do_free`.
+The `indents` count and the `starts_indented` flag track the line
+indents in the symbol. These are used to allow indent information to
+guide parsing and error recovery.
+
As well as the stack of frames we have a `next` frame which is
assembled from the incoming token and other information prior to
pushing it onto the stack.
struct frame {
short state;
short sym;
+ short starts_indented;
+ short indents;
} *stack, next;
void **asn_stack;
int stack_size;
p->asn_stack[p->tos] = asn;
p->tos++;
p->next.state = newstate;
+ p->next.indents = 0;
+ p->next.starts_indented = 0;
return 1;
}
{
int i;
p->tos -= num;
- for (i = 0; i < num; i++)
+ for (i = 0; i < num; i++) {
+ p->next.indents += p->stack[p->tos+i].indents;
do_free(p->stack[p->tos+i].sym,
p->asn_stack[p->tos+i]);
+ }
- if (num)
+ if (num) {
p->next.state = p->stack[p->tos].state;
+ p->next.starts_indented = p->stack[p->tos].starts_indented;
+ }
}
### Memory allocation
single entries off the stack until we can shift the `TK_error` symbol, then
drop input tokens until we find one we can shift into the new error state.
+When we find `TK_in` and `TK_out` tokens which report indents we need
+to handle them directly as the grammar cannot express what we want to
+do with them.
+
+`TK_in` tokens are easy: we simply update the `next` stack frame to
+record how many indents there are and that the next token started with
+an indent.
+
+`TK_out` tokens must either be counted off against any pending indent,
+or must force reductions until there is a pending indent which isn't
+at the start of a production.
