C编译器学习笔记（三）文法

文法

下面是一个描述句子组成成分的方法：

句子 -> 主语 谓语 宾语 	     // 句子由主语和谓语和宾语构成
主语 -> 名词 | 代词 	     // 主语由名词或代词构成
谓语 -> 动词 		     // 谓语由动词构成
宾语 -> 形容词 | 名词 | 代词    // 宾语由形容词或名词或代词构成
代词 -> "I"                   //
动词 -> "love"                // 能继续推导的叫非终结符, 如动词
名词 -> "cake"                // 不能继续推导的叫终结符, 如"cake"

上面的例子太过简单，如果把这种描述方法运用的复杂一点，不知道你能不能看懂：

// 程序是由混合结构构成的，混合结构是由多个语句构成的
Program -> CompoundStatement
CompoundStatement -> { StatementList_opt }
StatementList -> Statement | StatementList Statement

// 语句由if、while、混合结构、ExpressionStatement构成
Statement -> IfStatement | WhileStatement | CompoundStatement ｜ ExpressionStatement

// if 和 while语句
IfStatement -> if ( expression) Statement 
IfStatement -> if ( expression) Statement else Statement 
WhileStatement -> while(expression) Statement 

// ExpressionStatement由赋值语句和声明构成
ExpressionStatement -> id = Expression ; 
ExpressionStatement -> Declaration ;

// 表达式
Expression -> AdditiveExpression
AdditiveExpression -> MultiplicativeExpression 
AdditiveExpression -> AdditiveExpression + MultiplicativeExpression 
AdditiveExpression -> AdditiveExpression - MultiplicativeExpression 
MultiplicativeExpression -> PrimaryExpression 
MultiplicativeExpression -> MultiplicativeExpression * PrimaryExpression 
MultiplicativeExpression -> MultiplicativeExpression / PrimaryExpression 
PrimaryExpression -> id | num | (Expression) 

// 变量和函数的声明
Declaration -> int DeclaratorList
DeclaratorList -> Declarator | DeclaratorList , Declarator
Declarator -> * Declarator | PostfixDeclarator 
PostfixDeclarator -> DirectDeclarator | PostfixDeclarator[num] | PostfixDeclarator(ParameterList) 
ParameterList -> int | ParameterList, int
DirectDeclarator -> id | (Declarator)

其实它描述的是一个简化版的C语言。

文法描述的是一颗以Program为根节点，终结符为叶节点的树。编译器只需要按照文法，一点一点的分析代码，就可以将这颗树结构建立起来。这颗树被称为语法树。

根据文法可以看懂许多复杂的代码，例如：

int(*f(int,int,int))[4];

一般人看不懂这东西，不过根据文法来分析就简单许多了。Declaration对应int(*f(int,int,int))[4]，接着往下推导，可以知道PostfixDeclarator为(*f(int,int,int))[4]，接下来是关键，因为我们的表达式中带着[]，所以只能是PostfixDeclarator[num]，所以编译器是先识别数组，再识别括号中的内容。

所以总的识别过程为：
INT ---> ARRAY[4] ---> POINTER ---> FUNCTION

根据识别过程，从前向后捋就可知定义的是什么东西：

  1. int
  2. int数组
  3. int数组的指针
  4. 返回int数组的指针的函数
int(*f(int,int,int))(int,int,int);

识别过程：
INT ---> FUNCTION ---> POINTER ---> FUNCTION

  1. int
  2. 返回int的函数
  3. 返回int的函数的指针
  4. 返回返回int的函数的指针的函数

实际代码中常用一个数组装很多函数指针，然后根据不同情况调用不同的函数，这种方法可以防止switch中的case过多，这个数组的定义如下：

AstExpression (* ExprCheckers[])(AstExpression);

上文的简单文法并不支持这种定义，不过我们还是可以猜测出它的识别过程：
AstExpression ---> FUNCTION ---> POINTER ---> ARRAY

  1. AstExpression
  2. 返回AstExpression的函数
  3. 返回AstExpression的函数的指针
  4. 返回AstExpression的函数的指针的数组

C语言文法

在C11标准每章的开头，有对应章节相关的文法。《The C Programming language》书中附录“A.13 Grammar”有完整的文法。

C标准文法的语法与前文的语法有些不同，不过原理都是相同的，很快可以猜出它的语法。C标准文法主要分为外部声明、语句和表达式三部分。看懂文法就相当于看懂了C语言解析器的结构，再看代码事半功倍。其中带opt下标的是可选项。


/********************以下是关于外部声明的文法*******************************
*
* C标准文法将变量的声明、变量的定义、函数的声明、函数的定义统统当作外部声明处理。
