== Class Block and User Code Block
There's two block on toplevel.
one is 'class' block, another is 'user code' block. 'user code' block MUST
places after 'class' block.

== Comments
You can insert comment about all places. Two style comment can be used,
Ruby style (#.....) and C style (/*......*/) .

GRAMMARS
CLASS_NAME is a name of parser class.
This is the name of generating parser class.
CLASS_NAME is a name of parser class. This is the name of generating parser
class.
If CLASS_NAME includes '::', Racc outputs module clause.
For example, writing "class M::C" causes creating the code bellow:

"class M::C" causes creating the code bellow:
module M

== Grammar Block
The grammar block discripts grammar which is able
to be understood by parser. Syntax is:
The grammar block describes grammar which is able to be understood by parser.
Syntax is:
(token): (token) (token) (token).... (action)
......
Note that you cannot use '%' string, here document, '%r' regexp in action.
Actions can be omitted.
When it is omitted, '' (empty string) is used.
Actions can be omitted. When it is omitted, '' (empty string) is used.
A return value of action is a value of left side value ($$).
It is value of result, or returned value by "return" statement.
A return value of action is a value of left side value ($$). It is value of
result, or returned value by `return` statement.
Here is an example of whole grammar block.
rule
goal: definition ruls source { result = val }
goal: definition rules source { result = val }
definition: /* none */ { result = [] }
| definition startdesig { result[0] = val[1] }
| definition
precrule # this line continue from upper line
precrule # this line continues from upper line
{
result[1] = val[1]
}
startdesig: START TOKEN
You can use following special local variables in action.
You can use the following special local variables in action:
* result ($$)
......
* _values (...$-2,$-1,$0)
A stack of values.
DO NOT MODIFY this stack unless you know what you are doing.
A stack of values. DO NOT MODIFY this stack unless you know what you are doing.
== Operator Precedence
......
right '='
preclow
`right' is yacc's %right, `left' is yacc's %left.
`right` is yacc's %right, `left` is yacc's %left.
`=' + (symbol) means yacc's %prec:
`=` + (symbol) means yacc's %prec:
prechigh
nonassoc UMINUS
......

This directive declears "expected" number of shift/reduce conflict.
If "expected" number is equal to real number of conflicts,
racc does not print confliction warning message.
This directive declares "expected" number of shift/reduce conflicts. If
"expected" number is equal to real number of conflicts, Racc does not print
conflict warning message.
== Declaring Tokens
By declaring tokens, you can avoid many meanless bugs.
If decleared token does not exist/existing token does not decleared,
Racc output warnings. Declearation syntax is:
By declaring tokens, you can avoid many meaningless bugs. If declared token
does not exist or existing token does not decleared, Racc output warnings.
Declaration syntax is:
token TOKEN_NAME AND_IS_THIS
ALSO_THIS_IS AGAIN_AND_AGAIN THIS_IS_LAST
== Options
You can write options for racc command in your racc file.
You can write options for Racc command in your Racc file.
options OPTION OPTION ...
......
* omit_action_call
omit empty action call or not.
omits empty action call or not.
* result_var
use/does not use local variable "result"
uses local variable "result" or not.
You can use 'no_' prefix to invert its meanings.
You can use 'no_' prefix to invert their meanings.
== Converting Token Symbol
Token symbols are, as default,
* naked token string in racc file (TOK, XFILE, this_is_token, ...)
* naked token string in Racc file (TOK, XFILE, this_is_token, ...)
--> symbol (:TOK, :XFILE, :this_is_token, ...)
* quoted string (':', '.', '(', ...)
--> same string (':', '.', '(', ...)
......
end
We can use almost all ruby value can be used by token symbol,
except 'false' and 'nil'. These are causes unexpected parse error.
except 'false' and 'nil'. These causes unexpected parse error.
If you want to use String as token symbol, special care is required.
For example:
......
start real_target
This statement will not be used forever, I think.
== User Code Block
"User Code Block" is a Ruby source code which is copied to output.
There are three user code block, "header" "inner" and "footer".
"User Code Block" is a Ruby source code which is copied to output. There are
three user code blocks, "header" "inner" and "footer".
Format of user code is like this:
......
:
:
If four '-' exist on line head,
racc treat it as beginning of user code block.
A name of user code must be one word.
If four '-' exist on line head, Racc treat it as beginning of user code block.
The name of user code block must be one word.
