I an client of Actipro. My company have purchased SyntaxEditor for WPF. I have my own formal language (say 50 BNF production rules). I need to translate it to Lua. I already have Lexer, Grammar and parser. Tree Constructor time. I don't know how to retrieve value of terminals like identifiers or constant numbers.
Can you help me?
Hi Antonio,
In our C# grammar, we have productions like this:
identifierOrContextualKeyword.Production = @identifier["i"] > AstFrom("i")
| @contextualKeywordAdd["i"] > AstFrom("i")
...
And also for numeric AST nodes we do this kind of thing where we set some properties on a LiteralExpression AST node:
primaryExpressionCore.Production = @literalDecimalInteger["l"] > Ast<LiteralExpression>()
.SetProperty(e => e.Kind, LiteralExpressionKind.DecimalInteger)
.SetProperty(e => e.StringValue, AstFrom("l"))
...I hope those help.
Thank you for your answer. It is working for me. I have delayed my answer because I have more than 80 BNF production rules and I wanted to be sure I had no other questions. I am already generating code without problems.
