一个C语言声明解析器的设计与实现
概论:C语言的声明解析往往复杂多样,使得初学者不知所云,例如double (*(*(*fp3)())[10])() 定义的是什么?int *a[10]和int (*a)[10]有什么区别?C语言的声明解析遵循什么规则?本文主要为你介绍C语言声明解析的规则,然后为你介绍编译器的一个与之相关的部分——声明解析器的设计与实现。
本文来源:一个C语言声明解析器的设计与实现
int (*a)[10]
int (*(*func)[5][6])[7][8];
int (*(*func[7][8][9])(int*))[5];
看看这些声明自己能否很好的解析:
1)a是一个数组,数组元素是一个指向int的指针
2)a是一个指针,指向具有10个int的数组
3)func是一个指针,它指向一个5X6的数组,数组元素是指针,这些指针指向7X8的int数组
4)func是数组,数组元素是一个指针,这个指针指向一个行参为(int *)的函数指针,这个指针指向int[5]的数组
二、复杂声明解析规则
关于C语言的声明解析规则,可以参考这里:
int (*fun())():函数的返回值可以是一个函数指针
int (*foo())[]:函数的返回值可以是一个指向数组的指针
int (*foo[])():数组中可以是函数指针
int foo[][]:数组里可以有数组
你不可以这样做:
foo()():函数的返回值不能是一个函数
foo()[]:函数的返回值不能是一个数组
foo[]():数组里面不能是函数
也就是说:函数和函数不兼容,函数与数组互不兼容。
三、一个C语言声明解析器的设计与实现
设计方案:主要数据结构是一个栈,我们从左向右读取,直到遇到标识符为止。然后继续向右读取一个标记,如果遇到括号就向左读取和处理。为了简化编程,说明原理,我们这里约定函数不含有参数。另外,我们只解析正确的声明,对错误声明的出错处理不是很完善。
主要的数据结构:
struct token{char type;
char string[MAXTOKENLEN];};
struct token stack[MAXTOKENS];
//正在处理的那个标识
struct token this;
功能程序:
//字符串分类
classify_string()
查看this,通过string成员,确定type成员的值:“type”,qualifier或者是identifier
gettoken():取标记
读取下一个标记到this.string
如果是数字和字母组合,利用clasify_string分类;
如果是一个单字符,this的type值定为该字符;注意使用nul结尾
read_to_first_identifier():
读到第一个标识符号
gettoken()
入栈,直到遇到第一个标识符
解析程序:
deal_with_function():
当读取到)以后,打印“函数返回”
deal_with_array():
读取到】,然后打印size
deal_with_pointer():
解析*和左侧的(
go_left():
不断解析栈顶,直到它变成空
deal_with_declaration()
如果遇到最后声明结尾(gettoken==0),go_left
switch this.type ‘[’ :deal_with_array()
'(': deal with funciton()
‘)’:deal with pointer()
deal with declaration()//递归
main
init_parse_decl
read_to_first_identifier
deal_with_declarator
