IMPLODE-ASFIX(1)

NAME
implode-asfix - maps an asfix parse tree to an abstract syntax tree

SYNOPSIS

implode-asfix [--lex] [--layout] [--lit] [--alt] [--appl] [--nt] [--inj] [--list] [--seq] [--pt] [--concrete] [-i file | --input file] [-o file | --output file] [-b] [-S | --silent] [--verbose level] [--k level | --keep level] [-h | -? | --help] [--about] [--version]

DESCRIPTION

The implode-asfix utility maps an AsFix tree to an abstract syntax tree. The mapping performs several transformations, including:

•   remove layout

•   flatten lexical subtrees to strings

•   replace appl(prod(...),[...]) applications by constructor applications, if the production is annotated with a cons(...) attribute.

The input tree is required to be in AsFix2 format. See the AsFix section for more information about the AsFix format.

OPTIONS

Implode Options

--alt
    Flatten alternatives.

--appl
    Replace appl applications by constructor applications.

--concrete
    Skip concrete syntax parts of a Stratego program. Concrete syntax starts a ToTerm, ToStrategy or ToBuild and stops at FromTerm or FromApp.

--inj
    Remove injections from the parse tree.

--layout
    Remove layout nodes from the parse tree.

--lex
    Flatten lexical substrings to strings.

--list
    Flatten lists.

--lit
    Remove literal nodes from the parse tree.

--nt
    Replace appl application by non-terminal applications.

--pt
    Remove the outer pt constructor from the parse tree

--seq
    Replace sequences by tuples

Common Input/Output Options

-i file
    The input term given by the file name file.

    In the absence of the -i option, input will be read from stdin.

-o file
    The output will be written to the file given by the file name file.

    In the absence of the -o option, output will be written to stdout.

-b  The output will be written in the binary (BAF) ATerm format.

    ATerms in the BAF format require a lot less space than ones in the TAF format, but the Java ATerm library does not currently support baf ATerms. ATerms in the baf format is the preferred format of exchange between Stratego tools.

Common Debugging Options

--about
    See --version.

-h, -?, --help
    Display usage information.

--keep int
    Keep intermediate results produced by the internal stages in the pretty-printing process. This is only useful for debugging. A high value of int indicates increased eagerness for keeping intermediate results.

    Default setting is 0, indicating that no intermediates will be kept.

-S, --silent
    Silent execution. Same as --verbose 0.

--verbose int
    Set verbosity level to numerical value int. The higher the number, the more information about pp-aterm's inner workings are printed.

    Alternatively, int can be set to either of the following verbosity levels, given in increasing order of verbosity: emergency, alert, critical, error, warning, notice, info, debug, vomit.

--version
    Displays the tool name and version.

EXAMPLE

The implosion of parse trees by implode-asfix uses the cons annotation of SDF productions. For instance, the following annotation are typical for a small expression language.

module Exp
exports
  context-free start-symbols Exp
  sorts Id IntConst Exp

  lexical syntax
    [\ \t\n]  -> LAYOUT
    [a-zA-Z]+ -> Id
    [0-9]+    -> IntConst

  context-free syntax
    Id        -> Exp {cons("Var")}
    IntConst  -> Exp {cons("Int")}

    Exp "*"  Exp -> Exp  {left, cons("Mul")}
    Exp "/"  Exp -> Exp  {left, cons("Div")}
    Exp "%"  Exp -> Exp  {left, cons("Mod")}

    Exp "+"  Exp -> Exp  {left, cons("Plus")}
    Exp "-"  Exp -> Exp  {left, cons("Minus")}

  context-free priorities
    {left:
      Exp "*"  Exp -> Exp
      Exp "/"  Exp -> Exp
      Exp "%"  Exp -> Exp
    }
  > {left:
      Exp "+"  Exp -> Exp
      Exp "-"  Exp -> Exp
    }

Invoking sglr followed by implode-asfix results in an abstract syntax tree.

$ echo "1 + 2 * 3" | sglr -2 -p Exp.def.tbl | implode-asfix
Plus(Int("1"),Mul(Int("2"),Int("3")))
