rolyng_basic_make_parser

Parser of basic make syntax for educational purpose

Description

  • Make syntax parser created to parse basic Makefiles
  • Supports basic targets, dependencies and commands

Grammar

file = {SOI ~ line+ ~ EOI}
line = {(EMPTY_LINE | rule)}
rule = {rule_header ~ recipe}
rule_header = {rule_name ~ ":" ~ dependencies? ~ "\n"}
dependencies = {identifier ~ ("," ~ identifier)*}
rule_name = {identifier}
recipe = {EMPTY_LINE | (recipe_command+)}
recipe_command = { RECIPE_PREFIX ~ shell_command ~ "\n"}
shell_command = @{(!"\n" ~ ANY)+}
identifier = @{ ASCII_ALPHA ~ (ASCII_ALPHANUMERIC | "_")* }

RECIPE_PREFIX = _{"\t"}
EMPTY_LINE = _{"\n"}
WHITESPACE = _{ " " }
COMMENT = _{ "#" ~ (!"\n" ~ ANY)*}
  • file - main rule to parse Makefile
  • line - rule for each text line. Can be empty or a make rule
  • rule - rule consisting of header and recipe
  • rule_header - header of a make rule which has it's name and dependencies
  • dependencies - in this basic parser it's basically identifiers separated by commands
  • rule_name - identifier for the name of rule
  • recipe - can be either empty or consists of some recipe_commands
  • recipe_command - starts with RECIPE_PREFIX which is \t in usual make and after contains command to be executed in shell. Ends with newline
  • shell_command - anything not containing newline
  • identifier - starts with symbol and continues with any alphanumeric or '_'. also cant contain WHITESPACE
