# The CoffeeScript parser is generated by [Jison](http://github.com/zaach/jison)
# from this grammar file. Jison is a bottom-up parser generator, similar in
# style to [Bison](http://www.gnu.org/software/bison), implemented in JavaScript.
# It can recognize [LALR(1), LR(0), SLR(1), and LR(1)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LR_grammar)
# type grammars. To create the Jison parser, we list the pattern to match
# on the left-hand side, and the action to take (usually the creation of syntax
# tree nodes) on the right. As the parser runs, it
# shifts tokens from our token stream, from left to right, and
# [attempts to match](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom-up_parsing)
# the token sequence against the rules below. When a match can be made, it
# reduces into the [nonterminal](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_and_nonterminal_symbols)
# (the enclosing name at the top), and we proceed from there.
#
# If you run the `cake build:parser` command, Jison constructs a parse table
# from our rules and saves it into `lib/parser.js`.
# The only dependency is on the **Jison.Parser**.
# {Parser} = require 'jison'
# Jison DSL
# ---------
# Since we're going to be wrapped in a function by Jison in any case, if our
# action immediately returns a value, we can optimize by removing the function
# wrapper and just returning the value directly.
unwrap = /^function\s*\(\)\s*\{\s*return\s*([\s\S]*);\s*\}/
# Our handy DSL for Jison grammar generation, thanks to
# [Tim Caswell](http://github.com/creationix). For every rule in the grammar,
# we pass the pattern-defining string, the action to run, and extra options,
# optionally. If no action is specified, we simply pass the value of the
# previous nonterminal.
o = (patternString, action, options) ->
patternString = patternString.replace /\s{2,}/g, ' '
patternCount = patternString.split(' ').length
return [patternString, '$$ = $1;', options] unless action
action = if match = unwrap.exec action then match[1] else "(#{action}())"
# All runtime functions we need are defined on "yy"
action = action.replace /\bnew /g, '$&yy.'
action = action.replace /\b(?:Block\.wrap|extend)\b/g, 'yy.$&'
# Returns a function which adds location data to the first parameter passed
# in, and returns the parameter. If the parameter is not a node, it will
# just be passed through unaffected.
addLocationDataFn = (first, last) ->
if not last
"yy.addLocationDataFn(@#{first})"
else
"yy.addLocationDataFn(@#{first}, @#{last})"
action = action.replace /LOC\(([0-9]*)\)/g, addLocationDataFn('$1')
action = action.replace /LOC\(([0-9]*),\s*([0-9]*)\)/g, addLocationDataFn('$1', '$2')
[patternString, "$$ = #{addLocationDataFn(1, patternCount)}(#{action});", options]
# Grammatical Rules
# -----------------
# In all of the rules that follow, you'll see the name of the nonterminal as
# the key to a list of alternative matches. With each match's action, the
# dollar-sign variables are provided by Jison as references to the value of
# their numeric position, so in this rule:
#
# "Expression UNLESS Expression"
#
# `$1` would be the value of the first `Expression`, `$2` would be the token
# for the `UNLESS` terminal, and `$3` would be the value of the second
# `Expression`.

# precedence from low to high, and we have it high to low
