Modules and Types

module Context : CONTEXT with type msg = string

type token = char option

Combinators

include COMBINATORS with type expect = string and type semantic = string and type state = Common.Unit.t and type context = string

Basic Combinators

type 'a t
type semantic = string
val return : 'a -> 'a t
val succeed : 'a -> 'a t
val fail : semantic -> 'a t

val skip_zero_or_more : 'a t -> int t
val skip_one_or_more : 'a t -> int t
val (|=) : ('a -> 'b) t -> 'a t -> 'b t
val (|.) : 'a t -> _ t -> 'a t
val unexpected : expect -> 'a t
val backtrackable : 'a t -> expect -> 'a t
val followed_by : 'a t -> expect -> unit t
val not_followed_by : 'a t -> expect -> unit t
val (<?>) : 'a t -> expect -> 'a t

Position and State Combinators

val get_position : Position.t t
val located : 'a t -> 'a Located.t t
val get_state : Common.Unit.t t
val update : (Common.Unit.t -> Common.Unit.t) -> unit t

Indentation Combinators

val absolute : 'a t -> 'a t
val absolute_at : int -> 'a t -> 'a t
val indented : 'a t -> 'a t
val maybe_indented : 'a t -> 'a t
val detached : 'a t -> 'a t
val get_bounds : (int * int option) t
val one_or_more_aligned : 'a t -> 'a list t
val zero_or_more_aligned : 'a t -> 'a list t
val skip_one_or_more_aligned : 'a t -> int t
val skip_zero_or_more_aligned : 'a t -> int t

Context Combinator

type context = string
val in_context : context -> 'a t -> 'a t
val expect : (char -> bool) -> string -> char t

Character Combinators

val expect_end : unit t
val one_of_chars : string -> string -> char t
val string : string -> unit t
val char : char -> unit t
val space : unit t
val letter : char t
val digit : char t
val word : (char -> bool) -> (char -> bool) -> string -> string t

word start_char inner_char error_message

A word starts with a character satisfying start_char followed by zero or more characters satisfying inner_char.

In case that the first character does not satisfy start_char an unsatisfied expectation with error_message is entered.

Parser

During Parsing

include PARSER with type state = Common.Unit.t
type state = Common.Unit.t

State type

type parser

Parser Type

val needs_more : parser -> bool

Does the parser need more tokens (i.e. either put_character or put_end)?

val has_ended : parser -> bool

Has the parser terminated (opposite of needs_more p)?

val has_succeeded : parser -> bool

Has the parser succeeded

val has_failed : parser -> bool

Has the parser failed

val position : parser -> Position.t

The current position.

val line : parser -> int

The current line.

val column : parser -> int

The current column.

val state : parser -> state

The state of the parser.

val error_tabs : parser -> int list
val put_character : parser -> char -> parser

put_character p c feeds the parser p with the character token c. Only possible if needs_more p is valid.

val put_end : parser -> parser

put_end p signals to the parser p the end of stream. Only possible if needs_more p is valid.

Terminated Parser

val result : parser -> final option

The result the parser has produced which is either a final value or a list of dead ends. Only valid if the parser has terminated.

val result_string : parser -> (final -> string) -> string
val error : parser -> Error.t
val lookahead : parser -> token list

The list of tokens (i.e. optional characters) which the parser has not processed at the point of termination.

val lookahead_string : parser -> string

Create and Run the Parser

val make : final t -> parser

make pc makes a parser from a parser combinator pc.

val run : final t -> string -> parser

run p str makes a parser from the combinator pc and runs the parser on the string str.
