Chapter 6: Bottom-Up Parsing

Studio


Getting Started (5 minutes)


In each of the following sections, go as far as you can in the time allotted, but move on to the next section so you'll have a chance to work on each section while in studio.

Warm Up: (10 minutes)

  1. Read/review the following
  2. Open the CUP User Manual for quick reference.
  3. Follow the instructions for ant builds.
    Not much will be working at this point, and most runs will die in CUP showing Java Error: 100.

    • As you work on each of the problems below, simply rerun the ant build, and the results will be displayed on the console. (Recall you can click on the toolbox green button to rerun the build.)
    • If things seem to be messed up, run the clean task followed by the default (run) build, and that should fix any problems.
    • If you need to see the states computed by parser construction, look for the relevant file in the outermost autogen folder of your project,
