2 Convert source file characters into token stream. Remove content-free characters (comments, whitespace,...) Detect lexical errors (badly-formed literals, illegal characters,...) Output of lexical analysis is input to syntax analysis. Could just do lexical analysis as part of syntax analysis. But choose to handle separately for better modularity and portability, and to allow make syntax analysis easier. Idea: Look for patterns in input character sequence, convert to tokens with attributes, and pass them to parser in stream. Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

3 What do we want to do? Example: if (i == j) else Z = 0; Z = 1; The input is just a string of characters: \tif (i == j)\n\t\tz = 0;\n\telse\n\t\tz = 1; Goal: Partition input string into substrings Where the substrings are tokens Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

4 A syntactic category In English: noun, verb, adjective, In a programming language: Identifier, Integer, Keyword, Whitespace, Tokens correspond to sets of strings. Identifier: strings of letters or digits, starting with a letter Integer: a non-empty string of digits Keyword: else or if or begin or Whitespace: a non-empty sequence of blanks, newlines, and tabs Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

5 Classify program substrings according to role Output of lexical analysis is a stream of tokens which is input to the parser Parser relies on token distinctions An identifier is treated differently than a keyword Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

6 Define a finite set of tokens Tokens describe all items of interest Choice of tokens depends on language, design of parser Example: \tif (i == j)\n\t\tz = 0;\n\telse\n\t\tz = 1; Useful tokens for this expression: Integer, Keyword, Relation, Identifier, Whitespace, (, ), =, ; N.B., (, ), =, ; are tokens, not characters, here Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

7 Describe which strings belong to each token Recall: Identifier: strings of letters or digits, starting with a letter Integer: a non-empty string of digits Keyword: else or if or begin or Whitespace: a non-empty sequence of blanks, newlines, and tabs Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

8 An implementation must do three things: 1. Recognize substrings corresponding to tokens 2. Return the value or lexeme of the token A lexeme is the string in the input that actually matched the pattern for some token. The lexeme is the substring 3. Identify attributes Attributes represent lexemes converted to a more useful form Eg. strings, symbols (like strings, but perhaps handled separately), numbers (integers, reals,...), enumerations Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

9 The lexer usually discards uninteresting tokens that don t contribute to parsing. Examples: Whitespace (spaces, tabs, new lines,...) Comments Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

10 Source code: if x>17 then count:= 2 else (* oops!*) print "bad! Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

11 Lexeme Token Attribute if IF x ID "x" > RELOP GT 17 NUM 17 then THEN count ID "count" := ASSIGN 2 NUM 2 else ELSE print PRINT "bad!" STRING "bad!" Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

12 A way to describe the lexemes of each token A way to resolve ambiguities is if two variables i and f? Is == two equal signs = =? Example: How can we formalize this pattern description? An identifier is a letter followed by any number of letters or digits. Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

13 Exactly what is a letter? LETTER a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Exactly what is a digit? DIGIT Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

14 How can we express letters or digits? LORD LETTER DIGIT How can we express any number of? LORDS LORD * How can we express followed by? IDENT LETTER LORDS Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

15 A regular expression (R.E.) is a concise formal characterization and standard notation of a regular language (or regular set). Example: The regular language containing all IDENTs is described by the regular expression letter (letter digit) * where means or and e * means zero or more copies of e. Regular languages are one particular kind of formal languages. Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

16 An alphabet is a set of symbols (e.g., the ASCII character set). A language over an alphabet is a set of strings of symbols from that alphabet. We write ϵ for the empty string (containing zero characters); some authors use λ instead. Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

17 If x and y are strings, then the concatenation xy is the string consisting of the the characters of x followed by the characters of y. If L and M are languages, then their concatenation LM = {xy x L, y M}. The exponentiation of a language L is defined thus: L 0 = {ϵ}, the language containing just the empty string, and L i = L i 1 L for i > 0. Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

18 Each R.E. over an alphabet denotes a regular language over, according to the following inductive definition: Base rules: The R.E. ϵ denotes {ϵ }. For each a, the R.E. a denotes {a}, the language containing the single string containing just a. Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

19 Inductive rules: If the R.E. R denotes L R and the R.E. S denotes L S, then R S denotes L R L S. R S (or just RS) denotes L R L S. R denotes (L R ) *, the Kleene closure (the concatenation of zero or more strings from L R ). (R) denotes L R. Precedence rules: () before before before. Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

20 Over alphabet {a, b} a zero or more a s (a b) all strings of a s and b s of length 0 (a b ) all strings of a s and b s of length 0 (aa ab ba bb) all strings of a s and b s of even length Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

21 Consider Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil

22 Give names to R.E. s and then use these as a shorthand. Must avoid recursive definitions! Examples: ID letter (letter digit) * NUM digit (digit) * or this shorthand: digit + RELOP < > <= >= = or: <(ϵ =) >(ϵ =) = ASSGN := STRING "(nonquote) * " letter a b... z A... Z or this shorthand: [a-za-z] digit or this shorthand: [0-9] nonquote letter digit! $ %... Arbi Haza Nasution, B.IT(Hons), M.IT - Teknik Kompilasi Sem Ganjil
