13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	17 AnaGram 2.01 incorporates several changes designed to make it

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	23 switch makes the AnaGram parse
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	24 engine reentrant by passing the parser control block as an argument
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	25 to all function calls. Without it, the parser control block becomes a

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	40 is now kept on the stack or in the parser control block.

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	44 These are the steps to make a parser thread safe:
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	45 <UL>
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	46 <LI>Set the <B>reentrant parser</B> switch in your syntax file.</LI>
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	47 <LI>Add one or more <B>extend pcb</B> statements to your syntax file
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	48 and include declarations for all the variables needed by your
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	49 reduction procedures. Update your reduction procedures
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	50 accordingly.</LI>
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	51 <LI>If your parser will modify any variable which is not in the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	52 parser control block, make sure that variable is protected by
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	53 a mutex, or otherwise synchronized properly.</LI>
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	54 <LI>To run the parser, declare an instance of the parser control

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	56 parser control block as appropriate, lock any relevant mutexes,
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	57 and then call the parser function with a pointer to the parser
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	58 control block as the argument.</LI>

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	62 <H2>Added C++ Support</H2>
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	63
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	64 <P>
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	65 In previous versions of AnaGram it has not been possible to return class
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	66 instances (rather than pointers to them) from reduction procedures except
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	67 under limited circumstances. This is because AnaGram generates code that
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	68 stores objects on the parser value stack simply by casting the stack pointer
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	69 and assigning the value. This approach is correct for all traditional data
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	70 types, but leads to unpredictable behavior for a class that has supplied its
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	71 own assignment operator. Overloaded assignment operators depend on the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	72 destination being a valid instance of the class. With the traditional AnaGram
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	73 parser value stack, however, this is not normally the case.

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	77 Since there are many classes, such as string classes, which require
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	78 their own implementation of the assignment operator, the restriction
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	79 on returning class instances has often made reduction procedures
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	80 unnecessarily complex.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	81 </P>

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	84 AnaGram 2.01 now has a <B><A HREF="#wrapper">wrapper</A></B>
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	85 statement which can be used to
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	86 overcome this problem. For each class specified in a <B>wrapper</B>
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	87 statement, AnaGram generates a wrapper class that transparently
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	88 solves the problem. The stacked object is created using the copy
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	89 constructor. The reduction procedure is called with a reference to the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	90 stacked object rather than a copy. Wrapped objects are removed <EM>after</EM>

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	242 grammar. If your grammar uses only left recursive constructs, you

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	245 always exists syntactically correct input which can cause stack
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	246 overflow no matter how large the stack. Be sure that the parser stack
