# check_bison_recursion.pl -- check for right recursion in Bison grammars
|
|
#
|
|
# The standard way to parse list constructs in Bison grammars is via left
|
|
# recursion, wherein a nonterminal symbol has itself as the first symbol
|
|
# in one of its expansion rules. It is also possible to parse a list via
|
|
# right recursion, wherein a nonterminal symbol has itself as the last
|
|
# symbol of an expansion; but that's a bad way to write it because a long
|
|
# enough list will result in parser stack overflow. Since Bison doesn't
|
|
# have any built-in way to warn about use of right recursion, we use this
|
|
# script when we want to check for the problem.
|
|
#
|
|
# To use: run bison with the -v switch, then feed the produced y.output
|
|
# file to this script.
