Detailed Description

@brief Common recognizer functionality.

A generic recognizer that can handle recognizers generated from
lexer, parser, and tree grammars.  This is all the parsing
support code essentially; most of it is error recovery stuff and
backtracking.

Compute the context-sensitive FOLLOW set for current rule.
This is set of token types that can follow a specific rule
reference given a specific call chain.  You get the set of
viable tokens that can possibly come next (lookahead depth 1)
given the current call chain.  Contrast this with the
definition of plain FOLLOW for rule r:

 FOLLOW(r)={x | S=>*alpha r beta in G and x in FIRST(beta)}

where x in T* and alpha, beta in V*; T is set of terminals and
V is the set of terminals and nonterminals.  In other words,
FOLLOW(r) is the set of all tokens that can possibly follow
references to r in *any* sentential form (context).  At
runtime, however, we know precisely which context applies as
we have the call chain.  We may compute the exact (rather
than covering superset) set of following tokens.

For example, consider grammar:

stat : ID '=' expr ';'      // FOLLOW(stat)=={EOF}
     | "return" expr '.'
     ;
expr : atom ('+' atom)* ;   // FOLLOW(expr)=={';','.',')'}
atom : INT                  // FOLLOW(atom)=={'+',')',';','.'}
     | '(' expr ')'
     ;

The FOLLOW sets are all inclusive whereas context-sensitive
FOLLOW sets are precisely what could follow a rule reference.
For input input "i=(3);", here is the derivation:

stat => ID '=' expr ';'
     => ID '=' atom ('+' atom)* ';'
     => ID '=' '(' expr ')' ('+' atom)* ';'
     => ID '=' '(' atom ')' ('+' atom)* ';'
     => ID '=' '(' INT ')' ('+' atom)* ';'
     => ID '=' '(' INT ')' ';'

At the "3" token, you'd have a call chain of

  stat -> expr -> atom -> expr -> atom

What can follow that specific nested ref to atom?  Exactly ')'
as you can see by looking at the derivation of this specific
input.  Contrast this with the FOLLOW(atom)={'+',')',';','.'}.

You want the exact viable token set when recovering from a
token mismatch.  Upon token mismatch, if LA(1) is member of
the viable next token set, then you know there is most likely
a missing token in the input stream.  "Insert" one by just not
throwing an exception.

Definition at line 602 of file recognizers.py.

Compute the error recovery set for the current rule.  During
rule invocation, the parser pushes the set of tokens that can
follow that rule reference on the stack; this amounts to
computing FIRST of what follows the rule reference in the
enclosing rule. This local follow set only includes tokens
from within the rule; i.e., the FIRST computation done by
ANTLR stops at the end of a rule.

EXAMPLE

When you find a "no viable alt exception", the input is not
consistent with any of the alternatives for rule r.  The best
thing to do is to consume tokens until you see something that
can legally follow a call to r *or* any rule that called r.
You don't want the exact set of viable next tokens because the
input might just be missing a token--you might consume the
rest of the input looking for one of the missing tokens.

Consider grammar:

a : '[' b ']'
  | '(' b ')'
  ;
b : c '^' INT ;
c : ID
  | INT
  ;

At each rule invocation, the set of tokens that could follow
that rule is pushed on a stack.  Here are the various "local"
follow sets:

FOLLOW(b1_in_a) = FIRST(']') = ']'
FOLLOW(b2_in_a) = FIRST(')') = ')'
FOLLOW(c_in_b) = FIRST('^') = '^'

Upon erroneous input "[]", the call chain is

a -> b -> c

and, hence, the follow context stack is:

depth  local follow set     after call to rule
  0         \<EOF>                    a (from main())
  1          ']'                     b
  3          '^'                     c

Notice that ')' is not included, because b would have to have
been called from a different context in rule a for ')' to be
included.

For error recovery, we cannot consider FOLLOW(c)
(context-sensitive or otherwise).  We need the combined set of
all context-sensitive FOLLOW sets--the set of all tokens that
could follow any reference in the call chain.  We need to
resync to one of those tokens.  Note that FOLLOW(c)='^' and if
we resync'd to that token, we'd consume until EOF.  We need to
sync to context-sensitive FOLLOWs for a, b, and c: {']','^'}.
In this case, for input "[]", LA(1) is in this set so we would
not consume anything and after printing an error rule c would
return normally.  It would not find the required '^' though.
At this point, it gets a mismatched token error and throws an
exception (since LA(1) is not in the viable following token
set).  The rule exception handler tries to recover, but finds
the same recovery set and doesn't consume anything.  Rule b
exits normally returning to rule a.  Now it finds the ']' (and
with the successful match exits errorRecovery mode).

So, you cna see that the parser walks up call chain looking
for the token that was a member of the recovery set.

Errors are not generated in errorRecovery mode.

ANTLR's error recovery mechanism is based upon original ideas:

"Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs" by Niklaus Wirth

and

"A note on error recovery in recursive descent parsers":
http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=947902.947905

Later, Josef Grosch had some good ideas:

"Efficient and Comfortable Error Recovery in Recursive Descent
Parsers":
ftp://www.cocolab.com/products/cocktail/doca4.ps/ell.ps.zip

Like Grosch I implemented local FOLLOW sets that are combined
at run-time upon error to avoid overhead during parsing.

Override this method to change where error messages go

A hook to listen in on the token consumption during error recovery.
The DebugParser subclasses this to fire events to the listenter.

Definition at line 496 of file recognizers.py.

Match needs to return the current input symbol, which gets put
into the label for the associated token ref; e.g., x=ID.  Token
and tree parsers need to return different objects. Rather than test
for input stream type or change the IntStream interface, I use
a simple method to ask the recognizer to tell me what the current
input symbol is.

This is ignored for lexers.

What is the error header, normally line/character position information?

Definition at line 427 of file recognizers.py.

What error message should be generated for the various
exception types?

Not very object-oriented code, but I like having all error message
generation within one method rather than spread among all of the
exception classes. This also makes it much easier for the exception
handling because the exception classes do not have to have pointers back
to this object to access utility routines and so on. Also, changing
the message for an exception type would be difficult because you
would have to subclassing exception, but then somehow get ANTLR
to make those kinds of exception objects instead of the default.
This looks weird, but trust me--it makes the most sense in terms
of flexibility.

For grammar debugging, you will want to override this to add
more information such as the stack frame with
getRuleInvocationStack(e, this.getClass().getName()) and,
for no viable alts, the decision description and state etc...

Override this to change the message generated for one or more
exception types.

def rve_interface_gen.antlr3.recognizers.BaseRecognizer.getMissingSymbol (   self,
  input,
  e,
  expectedTokenType,
  follow 
)
Conjure up a missing token during error recovery.

The recognizer attempts to recover from single missing
symbols. But, actions might refer to that missing symbol.
For example, x=ID {f($x);}. The action clearly assumes
that there has been an identifier matched previously and that
$x points at that token. If that token is missing, but
the next token in the stream is what we want we assume that
this token is missing and we keep going. Because we
have to return some token to replace the missing token,
we have to conjure one up. This method gives the user control
over the tokens returned for missing tokens. Mostly,
you will want to create something special for identifier
tokens. For literals such as '{' and ',', the default
action in the parser or tree parser works. It simply creates
a CommonToken of the appropriate type. The text will be the token.
If you change what tokens must be created by the lexer,
override this method to create the appropriate tokens.

Reimplemented in rve_interface_gen.antlr3.recognizers.Parser.

Definition at line 771 of file recognizers.py.

Get number of recognition errors (lexer, parser, tree parser).  Each
recognizer tracks its own number.  So parser and lexer each have
separate count.  Does not count the spurious errors found between
an error and next valid token match

See also reportError()

Definition at line 415 of file recognizers.py.

How should a token be displayed in an error message? The default
is to display just the text, but during development you might
want to have a lot of information spit out.  Override in that case
to use t.toString() (which, for CommonToken, dumps everything about
the token). This is better than forcing you to override a method in
your token objects because you don't have to go modify your lexer
so that it creates a new Java type.

Definition at line 435 of file recognizers.py.

def rve_interface_gen.antlr3.recognizers.BaseRecognizer.match (   self,
  input,
  ttype,
  follow 
)
Match current input symbol against ttype.  Attempt
single token insertion or deletion error recovery.  If
that fails, throw MismatchedTokenException.

To turn off single token insertion or deletion error
recovery, override recoverFromMismatchedToken() and have it
throw an exception. See TreeParser.recoverFromMismatchedToken().
This way any error in a rule will cause an exception and
immediate exit from rule.  Rule would recover by resynchronizing
to the set of symbols that can follow rule ref.

Match the wildcard: in a symbol

Definition at line 250 of file recognizers.py.

Definition at line 246 of file recognizers.py.

Recover from an error found on the input stream.  This is
for NoViableAlt and mismatched symbol exceptions.  If you enable
single token insertion and deletion, this will usually not
handle mismatched symbol exceptions but there could be a mismatched
token that the match() routine could not recover from.

Definition at line 461 of file recognizers.py.

Not currently used

Definition at line 744 of file recognizers.py.

Attempt to recover from a single missing or extra token.

EXTRA TOKEN

LA(1) is not what we are looking for.  If LA(2) has the right token,
however, then assume LA(1) is some extra spurious token.  Delete it
and LA(2) as if we were doing a normal match(), which advances the
input.

MISSING TOKEN

If current token is consistent with what could come after
ttype then it is ok to 'insert' the missing token, else throw
exception For example, Input 'i=(3;' is clearly missing the
')'.  When the parser returns from the nested call to expr, it
will have call chain:

  stat -> expr -> atom

and it will be trying to match the ')' at this point in the
derivation:

     => ID '=' '(' INT ')' ('+' atom)* ';'
                ^
match() will see that ';' doesn't match ')' and report a
mismatched token error.  To recover, it sees that LA(1)==';'
is in the set of tokens that can follow the ')' token
reference in rule atom.  It can assume that you forgot the ')'.

Definition at line 679 of file recognizers.py.

Report a recognition problem.
    
This method sets errorRecovery to indicate the parser is recovering
not parsing.  Once in recovery mode, no errors are generated.
To get out of recovery mode, the parser must successfully match
a token (after a resync).  So it will go:

1. error occurs
2. enter recovery mode, report error
3. consume until token found in resynch set
4. try to resume parsing
5. next match() will reset errorRecovery mode

If you override, make sure to update syntaxErrors if you care about
that.

Member Data Documentation

State of a lexer, parser, or tree parser are collected into a state object so the state can be shared.

This sharing is needed to have one grammar import others and share same error variables and other state variables. It's a kind of explicit multiple inheritance via delegation of methods and shared state.
