背景资料：
我想要编写一种编程语言，知道这样做的工具，我没有任何关于如何使用它们的好例子。我真的不想使用Flex或Bison，因为它没有教导我认为创建编译器所需的抽象性。我有创建字符串，标记它们，将它们提供给充当语法的文件并解析最终创建实际程序来运行语言的概念。问题是，我不知道如何编写tokenizer或解析器。我有一般的想法，但是当我看到例子时，我会更清楚。如果有人可以发布一个/几个例子，那就太棒了！
我的问题如下：
有人可以发布如何在C中编写语法标记器/解析器的示例吗？
答案 0 :(得分：2)
如果你想在C中编写一个非常复杂的语法分析器，而不使用任何现有的模式匹配代码，那么通常最好实现一个状态机，然后用char处理源代码char。
Flex + Bison的输出也只是一个状态机。 Flex使用正则表达式将字符串标记为令牌，然后将其传递给Bison状态机，根据计算机的当前状态处理一个接一个令牌。但是，您不需要正则表达式标记生成器，您可以将输入标记为状态机处理的一部分。正则表达式匹配器本身也可以实现为状态机，因此令牌生成可以直接作为状态机的一部分。
这是一个有趣的链接;它不是特别是C，更概括地概述了状态机是如何工作的，但是一旦你掌握了这个概念，很容易将它转换为C代码：
Parsing command line arguments using a finite state machine and backtracking
这是一个超级原始CSV解析器的示例代码：
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
static char currentToken[4096];
static size_t currentTokenLength;
static
void addCharToCurrentToken ( char c ) {
if (currentTokenLength < sizeof(currentToken)) {
currentToken[currentTokenLength++] = c;
}
}
static
void printCurrentToken ( ) {
printf("Token: >>>%.*s<<<\n", (int)currentTokenLength, currentToken);
currentTokenLength = 0;
}
typedef enum {
STATE_FindStartOfData,
STATE_FindStartOfToken,
STATE_ParseNumber,
STATE_ParseString,
STATE_CheckEndOfString,
STATE_FindDelimiter,
STATE_ParseError,
STATE_EndOfData
} ParserState;
ParserState parserState = STATE_FindStartOfData;
static

该代码做出以下假设：
此代码绝对无法解析您提供的任何CSV数据，但是当您将其提供给该文件时：
"Year","Brand","Model" ,"Description", "Price"
1997,"Ford", "E350","ac, abs, moon", 3000.00
1999,"Chevy","Venture ""Extended Edition""",,4900.00
1999,"Chevy", "Venture ""Extended Edition, Very Large""" , , 5000.00
1996,"Jeep", "Grand Cherokee","MUST SELL!"
它将产生输出：
Token: >>>Year<<<
Token: >>>Brand<<<
Token: >>>Model<<<
Token: >>>Description<<<
Token: >>>Price<<<
------------------------------------------
Token: >>>1997<<<
Token: >>>Ford<<<
Token: >>>E350<<<
Token: >>>ac, abs, moon<<<
Token: >>>3000.00<<<
------------------------------------------
Token: >>>1999<<<
Token: >>>Chevy<<<
Token: >>>Venture "Extended Edition"<<<
Token: >>><<<
Token: >>>4900.00<<<
------------------------------------------
Token: >>>1999<<<
Token: >>>Chevy<<<
Token: >>>Venture "Extended Edition, Very Large"<<<
Token: >>><<<
Token: >>>5000.00<<<
------------------------------------------
Token: >>>1996<<<
Token: >>>Jeep<<<
Token: >>>Grand Cherokee<<<
Token: >>>MUST SELL!<<<
------------------------------------------
它只能让你知道如何用状态机解析复杂的语法。这段代码远远没有生产质量，正如你所看到的，这样的switch很快变大，所以我至少把状态代码放到函数中，甚至把每个状态变成类似结构或类似的东西。数据封装的对象，否则很快就会变得无法管理。
