13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	4 \agterm{Configuration parameters} are named constants that control the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	5 way AnaGram works. AnaGram ignores case\index{Case sensitivity} when
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	6 it looks up the names of configuration parameters, so that
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	7 \agcode{parser name} and \agcode{Parser Name} both refer to the same
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	8 parameter. Configuration parameters that have only true/false or
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	9 on/off values are often referred to as

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	12 Configuration parameters are used to control:

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	19
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	20 Every configuration parameter has a default value which has been
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	21 chosen to correspond to a standard if it exists, customary usage if
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	22 such can be determined, or otherwise to the most likely usage.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	23
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	24 Configuration parameters may be specified either in
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	25 \index{Configuration file}\index{File}\agparam{configuration files},
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	26 always named \agfile{AnaGram.cfg}, or in a syntax file. A
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	27 configuration file is a normal ASCII file containing parameter
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	28 specifications. The syntax of a configuration file is the same as
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	29 that of a configuration segment within a syntax file, except that a
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	30 configuration file does not have the brackets ( \agcode{[ ]} ) that
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	31 enclose a configuration segment in a syntax file. You may comment the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	32 configuration file freely, just as though it were a syntax file.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	33 % XXX ``configuration segment'' is a forward reference and we should
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	34 % rearrange all this so it isn't. Also, the forward reference is
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	35 % ``configuration section''. Sigh.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	36
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	37 % Parameters can be set in either a configuration file or in your syntax
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	38 % file.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	39 Apart from the \agparam{nest comments} switch, if a parameter
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	40 is specified more than once, only the last value is used (see below).
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	41 The \agparam{nest comments} switch, which affects the way AnaGram
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	42 reads your configuration and syntax files, takes effect as soon as
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	43 AnaGram encounters it in a file and stays in effect unless it is later
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	44 turned off.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	45
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	46 % XXX this should be belabored less. Also, good practice dictates that
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	47 % if you ship a project or a grammar it should compile in someone
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	48 % else's environment, and we shouldn't encourage people to do things
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	49 % like put \agparam{pointer input} in a systemwide AnaGram.cfg.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	50 %
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	51 % XXX also in the Unix world it ought to read
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	52 % /usr/local/etc/AnaGram.cfg and then also ~/.AnaGram.cfg - or
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	53 % something like that. And it ought to be possible to set params
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	54 % on the agcl command line. We need to think about this. (Well,
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	55 % there's not really any valid use for either, so perhaps it
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	56 % doesn't matter.)
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	57 %
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	58 % How about something like
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	59 %
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	60 % Support for a global configuration file dates from the DOS-based
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	61 % AnaGram 1.x, where the same configuration mechanism was used to
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	62 % establish user interface preferences. AnaGram 2.0 and above handle
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	63 % preferences separately, and the configuration system is only used
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	64 % for code-related options. Since good practice dictates that code
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	65 % should continue to work if exported outside of one's personal
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	66 % environment, there are few or no legitimate uses of the global
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	67 % configuration file and support for it will likely be removed in a
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	68 % future AnaGram release.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	69 %
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	70 % (But there really should be support for params on the agcl command
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	71 % line; if nothing else it would make it a lot easier to test
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	72 % combinations of settings.)
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	73 %
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	74 On initialization, AnaGram checks the directory that contains the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	75 AnaGram executable file. If it finds \agfile{AnaGram.cfg}, it reads it
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	76 and sets internal parameters accordingly. It then looks for
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	77 \agfile{AnaGram.cfg} in your working directory and, if it finds it, reads
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	78 it in turn. If any parameter is set in both files, the last setting
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	79 wins. The effect of this two stage process is to allow you to set
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	80 your standard preferences in the principal directory, with specific
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	81 overrides in your working directories. You may also put configuration
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	82 parameters in your syntax file, which override the settings in the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	83 configuration files. Note that neither configuration file is
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	84 necessary.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	85
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	86 Before executing an Analyze Grammar or Build Parser command, AnaGram
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	87 resets configuration parameters to their initial values, as determined
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	88 by the built in defaults and the configuration files read at program
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	89 initialization.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	90
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	91 There are, therefore, four levels at which parameters may be set. At
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	92 the first level, there are the settings built into AnaGram. If you
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	93 don't like some of these, you can override them with a configuration
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	94 file at the second level, the tools directory where you installed
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	95 AnaGram. If a particular project needs overrides, you can put them in
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	96 a configuration file at the third level, the working directory for
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	97 this project. And if you have specific configuration requirements for
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	98 a particular parser, the best place for them is the fourth level, the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	99 syntax file for the parser.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	100
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	101 For all of this flexibility, some people prefer to set every
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	102 configuration parameter explicitly in their syntax files so there is
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	103 no question as to what setting is being used. AnaGram is set up so
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	104 you can do it whichever way you prefer.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	105
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	106 If you are uncertain as to the actual parameters that AnaGram is using
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	107 at any time, the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	108 \index{Configuration Parameters}\index{Window}
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	109 \agwindow{Configuration Parameters} window listed in the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	110 \agmenu{Windows} menu will show you the current state of all
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	111 parameters.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	112
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	113 The different varieties of configuration parameters are described
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	114 below. Each definition of a parameter must start on a new line. A
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	115 configuration file is just a sequence of parameter definitions, each
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	116 on a separate line. Blank lines can be used as separators where you
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	117 please, and comments may be used as described for syntax files.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	118 Case\index{Case sensitivity} is ignored for parameter names (but not
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	119 for the whole definition). In a syntax file, each set of definitions
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	120 must be enclosed with brackets ( \agcode{[ ]} ), forming a
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	121 \index{Configuration section}\agterm{configuration section}, one of
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	122 the four kinds of AnaGram statements. Configuration sections can be
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	123 scattered throughout a syntax file, but each section should begin on a
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	124 new line, and following statements should also of course start on new
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	125 lines. There is no restriction on the number of sections, or on the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	126 number of times a parameter appears. The last setting of a parameter
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	127 wins.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	128
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	129 The first variety of configuration parameter is a simple
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	130 \index{Switches}\index{Configuration switches}switch that controls
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	131 one of the various features of AnaGram. Such parameters are also called
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	132 \agterm{configuration switches}. They need simply be stated to set the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	133 condition (turn it on) or negated with the tilde (\agcode{\~{}}) to
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	134 reset the condition (turn it off). Thus
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	135
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	136 \begin{indentingcode}{0.4in}

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	139 causes AnaGram to allow nested comments, and

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	144 causes AnaGram to disallow nested comments.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	145
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	146 You may also set or reset configuration switches with explicit on or
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	147 off values:
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	148
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	149 \begin{indentingcode}{0.4in}

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	153
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	154 A second variety of configuration parameter takes a value which is the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	155 name of a token. Thus
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	156
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	157 \begin{indentingcode}{0.4in}
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	158 grammar token = c grammar
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	159 \end{indentingcode}
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	160 specifies that the token \agcode{c grammar} is the grammar that
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	161 AnaGram should use as the starting point for analyzing your grammar.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	162

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	171 full panoply of C and C++ \index{Data type}data types. The
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	172 restrictions are that AnaGram does not allow specification of array or

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	174 with typedef statements, structure definitions, or class definitions,
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	175 including template classes, in your embedded C or C++ are acceptable.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	176 If you have more complex data types, you should define a simple name
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	177 using a typedef statement.

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	188 builds, the character ``\agcode{\#}'' is used to indicate that AnaGram
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	189 should substitute the name of your syntax file. In strings used to

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	195
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	196 The final variety of configuration parameter takes a numeric value.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	197 The value may be decimal, octal or hexadecimal, following the C
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	198 conventions, and may have an optional sign. Thus
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	199

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	206 If AnaGram does not recognize a parameter, it will give you a warning
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	207 with line number, column number, and the message ``no such
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	208 parameter''. If the value for a parameter is inappropriate, such as a
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	209 string value for a parameter which should have a numeric value, the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	210 message will be ``inappropriate value''. If the error occurs in the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	211 configuration file found in the AnaGram directory, AnaGram will prefix
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	212 the warning with the complete path name for the file. If the error
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	213 occurs in the configuration file in your working directory, AnaGram
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	214 will prefix the warning with ``AnaGram.cfg:''. If AnaGram encounters a
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	215 syntax error while reading a configuration file, it will honor the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	216 parameter settings it found before the syntax error, but will ignore

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	237 This is the normal situation. On occasion, however, it
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	238 is desirable to call a parser several times without reinitializing it.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	239 In this case, you may set the \agparam{auto init} parameter to off.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	240 Should you do this, you must call the initializer yourself whenever

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	249 Setting this switch causes AnaGram to include an automatic
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	250 resynchronization procedure in the parser. The resynchronization
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	251 procedure will be invoked upon encountering a syntax error and will
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	252 skip over input until it finds input characters or tokens consistent
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	253 with its state at the time of the error. The purpose of the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	254 resynchronization procedure is to provide a simple way for your parser
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	255 to proceed in the event of syntax errors so that it can find more than
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	256 one syntax error on a given pass. The resynchronization procedure
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	257 uses a heuristic based on your own syntax. AnaGram itself uses this
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	258 technique to resynchronize after syntax errors in its input.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	259
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	260 A disadvantage to using this resynchronization technique is that the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	261 resynchronization procedure turns off all reduction procedures. The
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	262 reason is that the resynchronization may cause a number of reduction
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	263 procedures to be skipped. This means that the parameters for any
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	264 reduction procedures that might be called later would be suspect and
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	265 could cause serious problems. It seems more prudent simply to shut
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	266 them down. Semantically determined productions will subsequently, of
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	267 course, always use the default reduction token.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	268

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	272 process. It will also be called on subsequent syntax errors, so your
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	273 program will not lose control entirely.

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	399 time this default reduction causes trouble is in the event of
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	400 erroneous input. In this situation you may get an erroneous
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	401 reduction. Normally when you are parsing a file, this is
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	402 inconsequential because you are not going to continue semantic action
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	403 in the presence of error. But, if you are using your parser to handle

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	506 One of your options for error recovery after a syntax error is a
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	507 technique similar to that provided in \agfile{yacc}. You include a
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	508 terminal token called \agcode{error} in your grammar. When the parser
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	509 encounters an error in the input it backs up the state stack to the
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	510 most recent state in which \agcode{error} was an acceptable input. It
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	511 then shifts to the new state as though it had seen an actual
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	512 \agcode{error} token. At this point, it skips over any character in
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	513 the input which is not an acceptable input character for this state.
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	514 Once it does find an acceptable input character, it continues
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	515 processing as though nothing had happened. If you wish to use this
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	516 approach and for some reason you wish to use the name \agcode{error}
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	517 for some other token in your grammar, you may use the \agparam{error

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	831 code in your parser to count the number of times your parser identifies
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	832 each rule in your grammar. To maintain the counts, AnaGram declares,
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	833 at the beginning of your parser, an integer array, whose name is
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	834 created by appending \agcode{{\us}nrc} to the name of your parser. The
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	835 array contains one counter for each rule you have defined in your

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	837 creates to deal with set overlaps or disregard statements. In order
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	838 to identify every rule that the parser reduces in the course of

13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	841 Therefore, a parser that has the \agparam{rule coverage} switch
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial. David A. Holland parents: diff changeset	842 enabled will run slightly slower than one with the switch off. An
