I think you need to think about what your trying to do before you do
it for example lets look at an expression:
x = 2 + y - 43 ...
So ok what way do you want this to work depends on how you want this
to be parsed and what output you want for one of my projects simply
doing something like:
%right '='
%left '+' '-'
expr: accessor '=' expr
| expr '+' expr
| expr '-' expr
| primary
primary: INTEGER
| IDENTIFIER
accessor: IDENTIFIER
So ok this WILL parse the code your code you want, but if your making
something like a compiler and you generate your self some kind of DAG
tree representation like:
struct symtab {
short opa_type, opb_type;
union {
struct symtab * symbol;
int integer;
char * string;
} opa;
union {
struct symtab * symbol;
int integer;
char * string;
} opb ;
}
And you do something like
* example:
* >>> x = y = z = 2 + 2 + 2;
+
/ \
+ 2
/
=
/ \
x =
/ \
y =
/ \
z 2
Which you may want to change into something like:
=
/ \
x =
/ \
y =
/ \
z +
/ \
+ 2
/ \
2 2
Not sure if these diagrams will look right i jsut copied and pasted
them out of one of my source files which was a long comment if it
didnt come out right @see
http://code.redbrain.co.uk/cgit.cgi/gcc-dev/tree/gcc/python/pypy.c?h=python
@line 142
Might be what your getting confused about not sure let us know how
your getting on.
