Non-LR(1) Precedence Cascade Grammars (Short Paper)

Authors: José-Luis Sierra

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 62, 7th Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (SLATE 2018)

Abstract

Precedence cascade is a well-known pattern for writing context-free grammars (CFGs) that model the syntax of expression languages. According to this method, precedence levels are represented by non-terminals, and operators' attributes are used to write syntax rules properly. In most cases, the resulting precedence cascade grammar (PCG) has neat properties that facilitate its implementation. In particular, many PCGs are LR(1) grammars, which serve as input for conventional bottom-up parser generators. However, for some cumbersome operator tables the method does not produce such neat grammars. This paper focuses on these cumbersome operator tables by identifying several conditions leading to non-LR(1) PCGs.

Language-Driven Software Development (Invited Talk)

Authors: José-Luis Sierra

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 38, 3rd Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (2014)

Abstract

Language-driven software development consists in applying computer language design and implementation techniques to build conventional software. The keynote reviews two different language- driven development approaches: domain-specific languages (DLSs), and language-oriented architectures (LOAs). The DSL approach focuses on the provision of languages specialized in different application aspects, which are used by developers, and even by domain experts, during application construction and maintenance. The LOA strategy, in its turn, conceives applications them- selves as coordinated collections of language processors, which can be developed using language implementation tools (parser generators, attribute grammar-based systems, etc.). The presentation of the approaches is supported by case studies from the fields of knowledge-based systems, e-Learning, semi-structured data processing, and digital humanities.
