SLR Parse Table from CFG Grammar Program in C/C++

A compiler is a program that translates the code that is written in one language to a machine code without changing the logic of the program. The compiler also tries to make the program more efficient.

Compiler design principles give a detailed view of the translation and optimization process of a program. Compiler design covers everything from basic translation mechanism to recovery and error detection. It includes various methods like lexical, syntax, and semantic analysis as front end, and code generation and optimization as back-end.

In this post, we will write the program to generate an SLR parse table from CFG grammar.

We will use C++ to write this program due to the standard template library support. Although, it’s very similar to C.

Input

// input is from a file named inputslr.txt
// use e for epsilon
// no white spaces
E->BB
B->cB|d

Output

Grammar:
E->BB
B->cB|d
 
FIRST:
B = {c,d}
E = {c,d}
 
FOLLOW:
B = {$,c,d}
E = {$}
 
Productions:
r1: B->cB
r2: B->d
r3: E->BB
 
Graph:
 
I0:
E'->.E
B->.cB|.d
E->.BB
 
I1:
E'->E.
 
I2:
B->.cB|.d|c.B
 
I3:
B->d.
 
I4:
B->cB.
 
I5:
B->.cB|.d
E->B.B
 
I6:
E->BB.
 
Edges:
I0 -> E -> I1
I0 -> c -> I2
I0 -> d -> I3
I0 -> B -> I5
I2 -> c -> I2
I2 -> d -> I3
I2 -> B -> I4
I5 -> c -> I2
I5 -> d -> I3
I5 -> B -> I6

Parsing Table:
St.         	Action & Goto
    	$   	c   	d   	B   	E
I0  	-   	S2  	S3  	5   	1
I1  	AC  	-   	-   	-   	-
I2  	-   	S2  	S3  	4   	-
I3  	r2  	r2  	r2  	-   	-
I4  	r1  	r1  	r1  	-   	-
I5  	-   	S2  	S3  	6   	-
I6  	r3  	-   	-
