peg 1.0.25

Command line tool for generating PEG parsers with support for event-based parsing and parsing directly from files.

1.0.25

• Changes in the file README.md.
• Changes in the implementation of OrderedChoiceGenerator and ZeroOrMoreGenerator.
• Changes in the implementation of CharacterClassGenerator.
• Fixed a bug in the implementation of SymbolGenerator. Events were not generated for rules with the annotation @inline.
• Added example file example_parse_events.dart.

1.0.24

• Changes to the peg_parser.peg grammar files. Added a NativeIdentifier production rule to parse native identifier.

1.0.23

• Added example file example_parse_from_file.dart.
• Changes in the file README.md.
• Changes in the file pubspec.yaml.
• Fixed a bug in the implementation of VerifyGenerator.

1.0.22

• Breaking change: The return type of the expression Sequence with more than one element has changed if semantic variables are not specified. Previously, a result with type Record (with positional fields) was returned, now a result with type List<Object?> is returned. This is done so as not to overload the system for automatically inferring the type of results returned. Because using the Record type as the return type by default leads to an exponential increase in the number of types for fields of the Record type (where the fields refer to another Record and so on very deeply), since the Record type is a very informative type and contains a huge amount of information.

1.0.21

• Fixed a bug in the implementation of rangesToPredicate().

1.0.20

• Due to the large number of rules without specifying types, the automatic inference of the result type may hangs for a long time. To resolve this situation, an exception will be thrown with instructions to temporarily specify the types directly in the grammar.

1.0.19

• Changes to the csv_parser.peg and json_parser.peg grammar example files. For some production rules, the result type descriptions have been removed since the result types is inferred automatically.
• Changes to the peg_parser.peg grammar files.

1.0.18

• Changes to the csv_parser.peg and json_parser.peg grammar example files.
• Changes in the implementation of CharacterClassExpression.toString()
• Changes in the implementation of ProductionRule.toString()
• Breaking change: The order of the production rule attributes has been changed. Metadata must be specified before specifying the result type.
• The generator now generates documenting comments for the production rules. The rule definition is used as text.

1.0.17

• Changes to the json_parser.peg grammar example file.
• Added @sepBy meta expression.

1.0.16

0.0.51

• Fixed minor bug in InfiniteLoopFinder

0.0.50

• For the better error reporting used the package parser_error in some parsers

0.0.49

0.0.48

• Added "How to write a good PEG grammar" recommendation 'how_to_write_a_good_peg_grammar.md'
• Added a trace statistic about how and why the generator determines the kind of the production rules. Can help a lot for writing good grammar. Command line peg stat -d high grammar.peg
• Significant improvements in the recognition of the production rule kinds: sentences (non-terminals), lexemes (tokens) and morphemes (100% recognition)

0.0.47

• Removed TODO remarks in the generated parsers

0.0.46

• Improving the mechanism for determining at runtime the ways of the elimination of the double memoization for the rules in the lowest layers. Previous way was a restriction (at the parser generation stage but not at runtime) on the memoization for all morphemes. Now it is more adaptive and can optimize the caching strategies at runtime for all kins of rules that allows memoization

0.0.45

• Disabled memoization for morphemes

0.0.44

• Added optional parameter offset in method _text()
• Fixed bug in SequenceExpressionGenerator with assigning the variable _startPos in sequences with single expression

0.0.43

• Added missing option values lower_case for formatter command stylize

0.0.42

• Experimental feature. Lazy memoization. Production rules that are marked by the generator as a "can be memorized" rules are turned off by default by the parser in runtime. Only on demand, when parser detects the real requirement of caching, they will be turned on. This feature allows do not perform necessarily caching of results if they was requested only once at some position. Behavior of each rule at runtime is tracked individually

0.0.40

• Minor changes in caching mechanics.

0.0.39

• Added semantic variable $start which point out to the beginning of the current sequence of expressions
• Experimental feature. Changing word compound of production rule name via the grammar formatter pegfmt. Eg. pegfmt stylize -morpheme upper_case grammar.peg

0.0.38

• Changed algorithm of determining the lexical production rules. This was required to provide correct support of results of direct recursion elimination (via pegfmt). From now results of these transformations fully supported by the front-end recognizer (TerminalRulesFinder)

0.0.37

• Experimental feature. Elimination of the direct left recursion via the grammar formatter pegfmt. Eg. pegfmt recursion grammar.peg

0.0.36

• Changes in MethodFailureGenerator. Improves the handling errors in method _failure. Error messages now more informative

• Fixed minor bugs with error messages

0.0.34

• Fixed bug in StartCharactersResolver

0.0.33

• Added the binary search algorithm to method getState (determiner of the current state through the symbol transitions) in a generated general parsers. This feature improves the performance of the parsing of a complex grammar with a wide range of used input symbols

0.0.32

• Fixed bug in OrderedChoiceExpressionGenerator associated with incomplete coverage of range in symbol transitions

0.0.31

• Added grammar formatter utility pegfmt.dart

• Minor (speed up) changes in peg grammar
• Minor (speed up) changes in expression resolvers

0.0.29

• Fixed bug in LeftRecursionsFinder

0.0.28

• Improved implementation of the symbol transition code generation

0.0.27

0.0.25

• Fixed a very small bug in the creation of the parser error
• Improved statistic information in the command stat

0.0.24

• Added recognition and error reporting of the malformed tokens (eg, number's)
• Added recognition and error reporting of the unterminated tokens (eg, string's)
• Added statistic information in the command stat about the expected lexemes in the non-terminals. Can be used for visual analyzing of the quality of the developed grammar and the proposed error messages on the failures
• Fixed bugs in the grammar example/json.peg (thanks to the newly added recognition and error reporting of the malformed tokens)

0.0.23

• Added function errors() => List<ParserError>
• Breaking change. Removed 'line' and 'column' properties.
• Refactored the entire codebase for easiest implementing several kinds of parser generators
• Started the improvements of the error messages. From now all the parser errors are an instances of XxxParserError type.

0.0.21

• Fixed bug in _matchString
• Removed convention on a naming terminals and non-terminals in favor to the possibility of analyzing (and control) the grammar on the subject of the auto generated representation names of terminals

0.0.20

• Added statistics about an auto generated names of the terminals (they used in the error messages). This feature useful for correcting grammar for better perception of the components of the grammar
• Fixed bugs in ExpectationResolver (error messages about the expected lexemes are now more correct)

0.0.19

• Added full functional example of json parser
• Fixed bug in CharacterClassExpressionGenerator

0.0.18

• Fixed bug in AndPredicateExpressionGenerator (was missed character ; in the template after refactoring)

0.0.16

• Was improved the basic ("expectation") error messages

0.0.15

• Added instruction optimizer in the interpreter parser
• Added the subordination of terminals (master, slave, master/slave). In some cases this can helps developers to writing (after the analyzing) grammar better and, also, this helps for the generator to better optimize the grammar and helps to improve error messages
• Breaking change: All methods, except the starting rules, are now private methods in all parsers. This is done for the interoperability of the generated parsers, better error messaging and performance improvement of parsing processes

0.0.12

• Added new parser generator: interpreter parser
• Minor bug fixes

0.0.11
