22 /* representation of the grammar rules:
23
24 ntokens is the number of tokens, and nvars is the number of variables
25 (nonterminals). nsyms is the total number, ntokens + nvars.
26
27 (the true number of token values assigned is ntokens
28 reduced by one for each alias declaration)
29
30 Each symbol (either token or variable) receives a symbol number.
31 Numbers 0 to ntokens-1 are for tokens, and ntokens to nsyms-1 are for
32 variables. Symbol number zero is the end-of-input token. This token
33 is counted in ntokens.
34
35 The rules receive rule numbers 1 to nrules in the order they are written.
36 Actions and guards are accessed via the rule number.
37
38 The rules themselves are described by three arrays: rrhs, rlhs and
39 ritem. rlhs[R] is the symbol number of the left hand side of rule R.
40 The right hand side is stored as symbol numbers in a portion of
41 ritem. rrhs[R] contains the index in ritem of the beginning of the
42 portion for rule R.
43
44 If rlhs[R] is -1, the rule has been thrown out by reduce.c
45 and should be ignored.
46
47 The length of the portion is one greater
48 than the number of symbols in the rule's right hand side.
49 The last element in the portion contains minus R, which
50 identifies it as the end of a portion and says which rule it is for.
51
52 The portions of ritem come in order of increasing rule number and are
53 followed by an element which is zero to mark the end. nitems is the
54 total length of ritem, not counting the final zero. Each element of
55 ritem is called an "item" and its index in ritem is an item number.
56
57 Item numbers are used in the finite state machine to represent
58 places that parsing can get to.
59
60 Precedence levels are recorded in the vectors sprec and rprec.
61 sprec records the precedence level of each symbol,
62 rprec the precedence level of each rule.
63 rprecsym is the symbol-number of the symbol in %prec for this rule (if any).
64
65 Precedence levels are assigned in increasing order starting with 1 so
66 that numerically higher precedence values mean tighter binding as they
67 ought to. Zero as a symbol or rule's precedence means none is
68 assigned.
69
70 Associativities are recorded similarly in rassoc and sassoc. */
