24 /* Representation of the grammar rules:
26 NTOKENS is the number of tokens, and NVARS is the number of
27 variables (nonterminals). NSYMS is the total number, ntokens +
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
32 are for variables. Symbol number zero is the end-of-input token.
33 This token is counted in ntokens. The true number of token values
34 assigned is NTOKENS reduced by one for each alias declaration.
36 The rules receive rule numbers 1 to NRULES in the order they are
37 written. More precisely Bison augments the grammar with the
38 initial rule, `$axiom: START-SYMBOL EOF', which is numbered 1, all
39 the user rules are 2, 3 etc. Each time a rule number is presented
40 to the user, we subtract 1, so *displayed* rule numbers are 0, 1,
43 Internally, we cannot use the number 0 for a rule because for
44 instance RITEM stores both symbol (the RHS) and rule numbers: the
45 symbols are shorts >= 0, and rule number are stored negative.
46 Therefore 0 cannot be used, since it would be both the rule number
47 0, and the token EOF).
49 Actions and guards are accessed via the rule number.
51 The rules themselves are described by several arrays: amongst which
54 RULES is an array of struct rule_s, which members are:
56 RULES[R].lhs -- the symbol number of the left hand side of rule R.
57 If -1, the rule has been thrown out by reduce.c and should be
60 RULES[R].rhs -- the index in RITEM of the beginning of the portion
63 RULES[R].prec -- the precedence level of R.
65 RULES[R].precsym -- the symbol-number of the symbol in %prec for R
68 RULES[R].assoc -- the associativity of R.
70 RULES[R].line -- the line where R was defined.
72 RULES[R].useful -- TRUE iff the rule is used.
74 The right hand side is stored as symbol numbers in a portion of
77 The length of the portion is one greater than the number of symbols
78 in the rule's right hand side. The last element in the portion
79 contains minus R, which identifies it as the end of a portion and
80 says which rule it is for.
82 The portions of RITEM come in order of increasing rule number and
83 are followed by an element which is zero to mark the end. nitems
84 is the total length of ritem, not counting the final zero. Each
85 element of RITEM is called an "item" and its index in RITEM is an
88 Item numbers are used in the finite state machine to represent
89 places that parsing can get to.
91 SYMBOLS[I]->prec records the precedence level of each symbol.
93 Precedence levels are assigned in increasing order starting with 1
94 so that numerically higher precedence values mean tighter binding
95 as they ought to. Zero as a symbol or rule's precedence means none
98 Associativities are recorded similarly in SYMBOLS[I]->assoc. */
