Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 70 | later stages of the compiler (e.g. code generation) to interpret. We basically |
| 71 | want one object for each construct in the language, and the AST should closely |
| 72 | model the language. In Kaleidoscope, we have expressions, a prototype, and a |
| 73 | function object. We'll start with expressions first:</p> |
| 74 | |
| 75 | <div class="doc_code"> |
| 76 | <pre> |
| 77 | /// ExprAST - Base class for all expression nodes. |
| 78 | class ExprAST { |

| 89 | </pre> |
| 90 | </div> |
| 91 | |
| 92 | <p>The code above shows the definition of the base ExprAST class and one |
Chris Lattner | bd779a3 | 2007-11-06 18:13:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 93 | subclass which we use for numeric literals. The important thing to note about |
| 94 | this code is that the NumberExprAST class captures the numeric value of the |
| 95 | literal as an instance variable. This allows later phases of the compiler to |
| 96 | know what the stored numeric value is.</p> |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 97 | |
| 98 | <p>Right now we only create the AST, so there are no useful accessor methods on |
| 99 | them. It would be very easy to add a virtual method to pretty print the code, |
| 100 | for example. Here are the other expression AST node definitions that we'll use |

Chris Lattner | bd779a3 | 2007-11-06 18:13:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 135 | capture a function name as well as a list of any argument expressions. One thing |
| 136 | that is nice about our AST is that it captures the language features without |
| 137 | talking about the syntax of the language. Note that there is no discussion about |
| 138 | precedence of binary operators, lexical structure, etc.</p> |

Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 142 | we'll fix that in a later installment. The two things we need next are a way |

Chris Lattner | cde1d9d | 2007-11-06 07:16:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 171 | Since all values are double precision floating point, the type of each argument |

| 185 | |
| 186 | <p>Now that we have an AST to build, we need to define the parser code to build |
| 187 | it. The idea here is that we want to parse something like "x+y" (which is |
| 188 | returned as three tokens by the lexer) into an AST that could be generated with |
| 189 | calls like this:</p> |
| 190 | |
| 191 | <div class="doc_code"> |
| 192 | <pre> |
| 193 | ExprAST *X = new VariableExprAST("x"); |
| 194 | ExprAST *Y = new VariableExprAST("y"); |
| 195 | ExprAST *Result = new BinaryExprAST('+', X, Y); |
| 196 | </pre> |
| 197 | </div> |
| 198 | |
| 199 | <p>In order to do this, we'll start by defining some basic helper routines:</p> |
| 200 | |
| 201 | <div class="doc_code"> |
| 202 | <pre> |
| 203 | /// CurTok/getNextToken - Provide a simple token buffer. CurTok is the current |
Chris Lattner | 729eb14 | 2008-02-10 19:11:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 204 | /// token the parser is looking at. getNextToken reads another token from the |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 205 | /// lexer and updates CurTok with its results. |
| 206 | static int CurTok; |
| 207 | static int getNextToken() { |
| 208 | return CurTok = gettok(); |
| 209 | } |
| 210 | </pre> |
| 211 | </div> |
| 212 | |
| 213 | <p> |
| 214 | This implements a simple token buffer around the lexer. This allows |
| 215 | us to look one token ahead at what the lexer is returning. Every function in |
Chris Lattner | e949512 | 2007-10-25 18:05:29 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 216 | our parser will assume that CurTok is the current token that needs to be |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 217 | parsed.</p> |

Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 219 | <div class="doc_code"> |
| 220 | <pre> |
| 221 | |
| 222 | /// Error* - These are little helper functions for error handling. |
| 223 | ExprAST *Error(const char *Str) { fprintf(stderr, "Error: %s\n", Str);return 0;} |

| 229 | <p> |
| 230 | The <tt>Error</tt> routines are simple helper routines that our parser will use |
| 231 | to handle errors. The error recovery in our parser will not be the best and |
Duncan Sands | 72261ff | 2007-11-05 16:04:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 232 | is not particular user-friendly, but it will be enough for our tutorial. These |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 233 | routines make it easier to handle errors in routines that have various return |
| 234 | types: they always return null.</p> |
| 235 | |
Chris Lattner | bd779a3 | 2007-11-06 18:13:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 236 | <p>With these basic helper functions, we can implement the first |
| 237 | piece of our grammar: numeric literals.</p> |

| 248 | <p>We start with numeric literals, because they are the simplest to process. |
| 249 | For each production in our grammar, we'll define a function which parses that |
| 250 | production. For numeric literals, we have: |
| 251 | </p> |
| 252 | |
| 253 | <div class="doc_code"> |

| 264 | <p>This routine is very simple: it expects to be called when the current token |
| 265 | is a <tt>tok_number</tt> token. It takes the current number value, creates |
Chris Lattner | 729eb14 | 2008-02-10 19:11:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 266 | a <tt>NumberExprAST</tt> node, advances the lexer to the next token, and finally |

| 268 | |
Chris Lattner | bd779a3 | 2007-11-06 18:13:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 269 | <p>There are some interesting aspects to this. The most important one is that |
Chris Lattner | 729eb14 | 2008-02-10 19:11:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 270 | this routine eats all of the tokens that correspond to the production and |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 271 | returns the lexer buffer with the next token (which is not part of the grammar |
| 272 | production) ready to go. This is a fairly standard way to go for recursive |
| 273 | descent parsers. For a better example, the parenthesis operator is defined like |
| 274 | this:</p> |
| 275 | |
| 276 | <div class="doc_code"> |
| 277 | <pre> |
| 278 | /// parenexpr ::= '(' expression ')' |
| 279 | static ExprAST *ParseParenExpr() { |
| 280 | getNextToken(); // eat (. |
| 281 | ExprAST *V = ParseExpression(); |
| 282 | if (!V) return 0; |
| 283 | |
| 284 | if (CurTok != ')') |
| 285 | return Error("expected ')'"); |

| 287 | return V; |
| 288 | } |

Chris Lattner | bd779a3 | 2007-11-06 18:13:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 292 | <p>This function illustrates a number of interesting things about the |
| 293 | parser:</p> |
| 294 | |
| 295 | <p> |
Chris Lattner | 729eb14 | 2008-02-10 19:11:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 296 | 1) It shows how we use the Error routines. When called, this function expects |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 297 | that the current token is a '(' token, but after parsing the subexpression, it |
Chris Lattner | cde1d9d | 2007-11-06 07:16:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 298 | is possible that there is no ')' waiting. For example, if the user types in |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 299 | "(4 x" instead of "(4)", the parser should emit an error. Because errors can |
| 300 | occur, the parser needs a way to indicate that they happened: in our parser, we |
| 301 | return null on an error.</p> |
| 302 | |
Chris Lattner | bd779a3 | 2007-11-06 18:13:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 303 | <p>2) Another interesting aspect of this function is that it uses recursion by |
Owen Anderson | c6311b9 | 2007-10-22 06:48:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 304 | calling <tt>ParseExpression</tt> (we will soon see that <tt>ParseExpression</tt> can call |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 305 | <tt>ParseParenExpr</tt>). This is powerful because it allows us to handle |
| 306 | recursive grammars, and keeps each production very simple. Note that |
Duncan Sands | 72261ff | 2007-11-05 16:04:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 307 | parentheses do not cause construction of AST nodes themselves. While we could |

| 402 | |
| 403 | <p>Binary expressions are significantly harder to parse because they are often |
| 404 | ambiguous. For example, when given the string "x+y*z", the parser can choose |
| 405 | to parse it as either "(x+y)*z" or "x+(y*z)". With common definitions from |
| 406 | mathematics, we expect the later parse, because "*" (multiplication) has |
| 407 | higher <em>precedence</em> than "+" (addition).</p> |
| 408 | |
| 409 | <p>There are many ways to handle this, but an elegant and efficient way is to |
| 410 | use <a href= |
| 411 | "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator-precedence_parser">Operator-Precedence |
| 412 | Parsing</a>. This parsing technique uses the precedence of binary operators to |
| 413 | guide recursion. To start with, we need a table of precedences:</p> |
| 414 | |
| 415 | <div class="doc_code"> |
| 416 | <pre> |
| 417 | /// BinopPrecedence - This holds the precedence for each binary operator that is |

| 443 | |
| 444 | <p>For the basic form of Kaleidoscope, we will only support 4 binary operators |
Chris Lattner | cde1d9d | 2007-11-06 07:16:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 445 | (this can obviously be extended by you, our brave and intrepid reader). The |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 446 | <tt>GetTokPrecedence</tt> function returns the precedence for the current token, |
| 447 | or -1 if the token is not a binary operator. Having a map makes it easy to add |
| 448 | new operators and makes it clear that the algorithm doesn't depend on the |
| 449 | specific operators involved, but it would be easy enough to eliminate the map |
Chris Lattner | 729eb14 | 2008-02-10 19:11:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 450 | and do the comparisons in the <tt>GetTokPrecedence</tt> function. (Or just use |
Chris Lattner | cde1d9d | 2007-11-06 07:16:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 451 | a fixed-size array).</p> |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 452 | |
| 453 | <p>With the helper above defined, we can now start parsing binary expressions. |
| 454 | The basic idea of operator precedence parsing is to break down an expression |
Chris Lattner | 729eb14 | 2008-02-10 19:11:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 455 | with potentially ambiguous binary operators into pieces. Consider ,for example, |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 456 | the expression "a+b+(c+d)*e*f+g". Operator precedence parsing considers this |
| 457 | as a stream of primary expressions separated by binary operators. As such, |
| 458 | it will first parse the leading primary expression "a", then it will see the |
| 459 | pairs [+, b] [+, (c+d)] [*, e] [*, f] and [+, g]. Note that because parentheses |
Duncan Sands | 72261ff | 2007-11-05 16:04:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 460 | are primary expressions, the binary expression parser doesn't need to worry |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 461 | about nested subexpressions like (c+d) at all. |
| 462 | </p> |
| 463 | |
| 464 | <p> |
| 465 | To start, an expression is a primary expression potentially followed by a |
| 466 | sequence of [binop,primaryexpr] pairs:</p> |
| 467 | |
| 468 | <div class="doc_code"> |
| 469 | <pre> |
| 470 | /// expression |
| 471 | /// ::= primary binoprhs |
| 472 | /// |
| 473 | static ExprAST *ParseExpression() { |
| 474 | ExprAST *LHS = ParsePrimary(); |
| 475 | if (!LHS) return 0; |
| 476 | |
| 477 | return ParseBinOpRHS(0, LHS); |
| 478 | } |
| 479 | </pre> |
| 480 | </div> |
| 481 | |
| 482 | <p><tt>ParseBinOpRHS</tt> is the function that parses the sequence of pairs for |
Chris Lattner | bd779a3 | 2007-11-06 18:13:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 483 | us. It takes a precedence and a pointer to an expression for the part that has been |
| 484 | parsed so far. Note that "x" is a perfectly valid expression: As such, "binoprhs" is |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 485 | allowed to be empty, in which case it returns the expression that is passed into |
| 486 | it. In our example above, the code passes the expression for "a" into |
| 487 | <tt>ParseBinOpRHS</tt> and the current token is "+".</p> |
| 488 | |
| 489 | <p>The precedence value passed into <tt>ParseBinOpRHS</tt> indicates the <em> |
| 490 | minimal operator precedence</em> that the function is allowed to eat. For |
| 491 | example, if the current pair stream is [+, x] and <tt>ParseBinOpRHS</tt> is |
| 492 | passed in a precedence of 40, it will not consume any tokens (because the |
| 493 | precedence of '+' is only 20). With this in mind, <tt>ParseBinOpRHS</tt> starts |
| 494 | with:</p> |
| 495 | |
| 496 | <div class="doc_code"> |
| 497 | <pre> |
| 498 | /// binoprhs |
| 499 | /// ::= ('+' primary)* |
| 500 | static ExprAST *ParseBinOpRHS(int ExprPrec, ExprAST *LHS) { |
| 501 | // If this is a binop, find its precedence. |
| 502 | while (1) { |
| 503 | int TokPrec = GetTokPrecedence(); |
| 504 | |
| 505 | // If this is a binop that binds at least as tightly as the current binop, |
| 506 | // consume it, otherwise we are done. |
| 507 | if (TokPrec < ExprPrec) |
| 508 | return LHS; |
| 509 | </pre> |
| 510 | </div> |
| 511 | |
| 512 | <p>This code gets the precedence of the current token and checks to see if if is |
| 513 | too low. Because we defined invalid tokens to have a precedence of -1, this |
| 514 | check implicitly knows that the pair-stream ends when the token stream runs out |
| 515 | of binary operators. If this check succeeds, we know that the token is a binary |
| 516 | operator and that it will be included in this expression:</p> |
| 517 | |
| 518 | <div class="doc_code"> |
| 519 | <pre> |
| 520 | // Okay, we know this is a binop. |
| 521 | int BinOp = CurTok; |
| 522 | getNextToken(); // eat binop |
| 523 | |
| 524 | // Parse the primary expression after the binary operator. |
| 525 | ExprAST *RHS = ParsePrimary(); |
| 526 | if (!RHS) return 0; |
| 527 | </pre> |
| 528 | </div> |
| 529 | |
| 530 | <p>As such, this code eats (and remembers) the binary operator and then parses |
Chris Lattner | bd779a3 | 2007-11-06 18:13:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 531 | the primary expression that follows. This builds up the whole pair, the first of |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 532 | which is [+, b] for the running example.</p> |
| 533 | |
| 534 | <p>Now that we parsed the left-hand side of an expression and one pair of the |
| 535 | RHS sequence, we have to decide which way the expression associates. In |
| 536 | particular, we could have "(a+b) binop unparsed" or "a + (b binop unparsed)". |
| 537 | To determine this, we look ahead at "binop" to determine its precedence and |
| 538 | compare it to BinOp's precedence (which is '+' in this case):</p> |
| 539 | |
| 540 | <div class="doc_code"> |
| 541 | <pre> |
| 542 | // If BinOp binds less tightly with RHS than the operator after RHS, let |
| 543 | // the pending operator take RHS as its LHS. |
| 544 | int NextPrec = GetTokPrecedence(); |
| 545 | if (TokPrec < NextPrec) { |
| 546 | </pre> |
| 547 | </div> |
| 548 | |
| 549 | <p>If the precedence of the binop to the right of "RHS" is lower or equal to the |
| 550 | precedence of our current operator, then we know that the parentheses associate |
Chris Lattner | bd779a3 | 2007-11-06 18:13:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 551 | as "(a+b) binop ...". In our example, the current operator is "+" and the next |
| 552 | operator is "+", we know that they have the same precedence. In this case we'll |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 553 | create the AST node for "a+b", and then continue parsing:</p> |
| 554 | |
| 555 | <div class="doc_code"> |
| 556 | <pre> |
| 557 | ... if body omitted ... |
| 558 | } |
| 559 | |
| 560 | // Merge LHS/RHS. |
| 561 | LHS = new BinaryExprAST(BinOp, LHS, RHS); |
| 562 | } // loop around to the top of the while loop. |
| 563 | } |
| 564 | </pre> |
| 565 | </div> |
| 566 | |
| 567 | <p>In our example above, this will turn "a+b+" into "(a+b)" and execute the next |
Chris Lattner | bd779a3 | 2007-11-06 18:13:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 568 | iteration of the loop, with "+" as the current token. The code above will eat, |
| 569 | remember, and parse "(c+d)" as the primary expression, which makes the |
| 570 | current pair equal to [+, (c+d)]. It will then evaluate the 'if' conditional above with |
| 571 | "*" as the binop to the right of the primary. In this case, the precedence of "*" is |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 572 | higher than the precedence of "+" so the if condition will be entered.</p> |
| 573 | |
| 574 | <p>The critical question left here is "how can the if condition parse the right |
| 575 | hand side in full"? In particular, to build the AST correctly for our example, |
| 576 | it needs to get all of "(c+d)*e*f" as the RHS expression variable. The code to |
| 577 | do this is surprisingly simple (code from the above two blocks duplicated for |
| 578 | context):</p> |
| 579 | |
| 580 | <div class="doc_code"> |
| 581 | <pre> |
| 582 | // If BinOp binds less tightly with RHS than the operator after RHS, let |
| 583 | // the pending operator take RHS as its LHS. |
| 584 | int NextPrec = GetTokPrecedence(); |
| 585 | if (TokPrec < NextPrec) { |
Chris Lattner | cde1d9d | 2007-11-06 07:16:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 586 | <b>RHS = ParseBinOpRHS(TokPrec+1, RHS); |
| 587 | if (RHS == 0) return 0;</b> |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 588 | } |
| 589 | // Merge LHS/RHS. |
| 590 | LHS = new BinaryExprAST(BinOp, LHS, RHS); |
| 591 | } // loop around to the top of the while loop. |
| 592 | } |
| 593 | </pre> |
| 594 | </div> |
| 595 | |
| 596 | <p>At this point, we know that the binary operator to the RHS of our primary |
| 597 | has higher precedence than the binop we are currently parsing. As such, we know |
| 598 | that any sequence of pairs whose operators are all higher precedence than "+" |
| 599 | should be parsed together and returned as "RHS". To do this, we recursively |
| 600 | invoke the <tt>ParseBinOpRHS</tt> function specifying "TokPrec+1" as the minimum |
| 601 | precedence required for it to continue. In our example above, this will cause |
| 602 | it to return the AST node for "(c+d)*e*f" as RHS, which is then set as the RHS |
| 603 | of the '+' expression.</p> |
| 604 | |
Chris Lattner | bd779a3 | 2007-11-06 18:13:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 605 | <p>Finally, on the next iteration of the while loop, the "+g" piece is parsed |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 606 | and added to the AST. With this little bit of code (14 non-trivial lines), we |
| 607 | correctly handle fully general binary expression parsing in a very elegant way. |
Chris Lattner | cde1d9d | 2007-11-06 07:16:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 608 | This was a whirlwind tour of this code, and it is somewhat subtle. I recommend |
| 609 | running through it with a few tough examples to see how it works. |

| 611 | |
| 612 | <p>This wraps up handling of expressions. At this point, we can point the |
Chris Lattner | bd779a3 | 2007-11-06 18:13:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 613 | parser at an arbitrary token stream and build an expression from it, stopping |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 614 | at the first token that is not part of the expression. Next up we need to |
Chris Lattner | bd779a3 | 2007-11-06 18:13:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 615 | handle function definitions, etc.</p> |

Chris Lattner | cde1d9d | 2007-11-06 07:16:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 626 | The next thing missing is handling of function prototypes. In Kaleidoscope, |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 627 | these are used both for 'extern' function declarations as well as function body |
| 628 | definitions. The code to do this is straight-forward and not very interesting |
| 629 | (once you've survived expressions): |

| 661 | <p>Given this, a function definition is very simple, just a prototype plus |
Duncan Sands | 72261ff | 2007-11-05 16:04:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 662 | an expression to implement the body:</p> |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 663 | |

| 679 | <p>In addition, we support 'extern' to declare functions like 'sin' and 'cos' as |
Chris Lattner | bd779a3 | 2007-11-06 18:13:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 680 | well as to support forward declaration of user functions. These 'extern's are just |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 681 | prototypes with no body:</p> |

| 692 | |
| 693 | <p>Finally, we'll also let the user type in arbitrary top-level expressions and |
| 694 | evaluate them on the fly. We will handle this by defining anonymous nullary |

Chris Lattner | 729eb14 | 2008-02-10 19:11:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 745 | <p>The most interesting part of this is that we ignore top-level semicolons. |
Owen Anderson | c6311b9 | 2007-10-22 06:48:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 746 | Why is this, you ask? The basic reason is that if you type "4 + 5" at the |
Chris Lattner | bd779a3 | 2007-11-06 18:13:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 747 | command line, the parser doesn't know whether that is the end of what you will type |
| 748 | or not. For example, on the next line you could type "def foo..." in which case |
Chris Lattner | e6c9104 | 2007-10-22 06:34:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 749 | 4+5 is the end of a top-level expression. Alternatively you could type "* 6", |
| 750 | which would continue the expression. Having top-level semicolons allows you to |
Chris Lattner | 729eb14 | 2008-02-10 19:11:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 751 | type "4+5;", and the parser will know you are done.</p> |
