DESCRIPTION
yapp is a frontend to the Parse::Yapp module, which lets you compile Parse::Yapp grammar input files into PerlLALR
(1) OO
parser modules.
OPTIONS
Options, as of today, are all optionals :-)- -v
-
Creates a file grammar.output describing your parser. It will
show you a summary of conflicts, rules, the DFA(Deterministic Finite Automaton) states and overall usage of the parser.
- -s
- Create a standalone module in which the driver is included. Note that if you have more than one parser module called from a program, to have it standalone, you need this option only for one of your parser module.
- -n
- Disable source file line numbering embedded in your parser module. I don't know why one should need it, but it's there.
- -m module
- Gives your parser module the package name (or name space or module name or class name or whatever-you-call-it) of module. It defaults to grammar
- -o outfile
- The compiled output file will be named outfile for your parser module. It defaults to grammar.pm or, if you specified the option -m A::Module::Name (see below), to Name.pm, in the current working directory.
- -t filename
- The -t filename option allows you to specify a file which should be used as template for generating the parser output. The default is to use the internal template defined in Parse::Yapp::Output.pm. For how to write your own template and which substitutions are available, have a look to the module Parse::Yapp::Output.pm : it should be obvious.
- -b shebang
-
If you work on systems that understand so called shebangs, and your
generated parser is directly an executable script, you can specifie one
with the -b option, ie:
yapp -b '/usr/local/bin/perl -w' -o myscript.pl myscript.yp
This will output a file called myscript.pl whose very first line is:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
The argument is mandatory, but if you specify an empty string, the value of $Config{perlpath} will be used instead.
- grammar
- The input grammar file. If no suffix is given, and the file does not exists, an attempt to open the file with a suffix of .yp is tried before exiting.
- -V
- Display current version of Parse::Yapp and gracefully exits.
- -h
- Display the usage screen.
