Detailed Description

The Driver class brings together all components.

It creates an instance of the Parser and Scanner classes and connects them. Then the input stream is fed into the scanner object and the parser gets it's token sequence. Furthermore the driver object is available in the grammar rules as a parameter. Therefore the driver class contains a reference to the structure into which the parsed data is saved.

Member Function Documentation

void example::Driver::error ( const std::string &  m  ) 

General error handling.

This can be modified to output the error e.g. to a dialog box.

void example::Driver::error ( const class location l,
const std::string &  m 
)

Error handling with associated line number.

This can be modified to output the error e.g. to a dialog box.

bool example::Driver::parse_file ( const std::string &  filename  ) 

Invoke the scanner and parser on a file.

Use parse_stream with a std::ifstream if detection of file reading errors is required.

Parameters:
filename input file name
Returns:
true if successfully parsed

bool example::Driver::parse_stream ( std::istream &  in,
const std::string &  sname = "stream input" 
)

Invoke the scanner and parser for a stream.

Parameters:
in input stream
sname stream name for error messages
Returns:
true if successfully parsed
