peglint
-------
The lint utility for PEG.
```
usage: grammar_file_path [source_file_path]
options:
--ast: show AST tree
--packrat: enable packrat memoise
--opt, --opt-all: optimaze all AST nodes except nodes selected with `no_ast_opt` instruction
--opt-only: optimaze only AST nodes selected with `no_ast_opt` instruction
--source: source text
--trace: show concise trace messages
--trace-verbose: show verbose trace messages
--profile: show profile report
```
### Build peglint
```
> cd lint
> mkdir build
> cd build
> cmake ..
> make
```
### Lint grammar
```
> cat a.peg
A <- 'hello' ^ 'world'
> peglint a.peg
a.peg:1:16: syntax error
```
```
> cat a.peg
A <- B
> peglint a.peg
a.peg:1:6: 'B' is not defined.
```
```
> cat a.peg
A <- B / C
B <- 'b'
C <- A
> peglint a.peg
a.peg:1:10: 'C' is left recursive.
a.peg:3:6: 'A' is left recursive.
```
### Lint source text
```
> cat a.peg
Additive <- Multitive '+' Additive / Multitive
Multitive <- Primary '*' Multitive / Primary
Primary <- '(' Additive ')' / Number
Number <- < [0-9]+ >
%whitespace <- [ \t\r\n]*
> peglint --source "1 + a * 3" a.peg
[commendline]:1:3: syntax error
```
### AST
```
> cat a.txt
1 + 2 * 3
> peglint --ast a.peg a.txt
+ Additive
+ Multitive
+ Primary
- Number (1)
+ Additive
+ Multitive
+ Primary
- Number (2)
+ Multitive
+ Primary
- Number (3)
```
### AST optimazation
```
> peglint --ast --opt --source "1 + 2 * 3" a.peg
+ Additive
- Multitive[Number] (1)
+ Additive[Multitive]
- Primary[Number] (2)
- Multitive[Number] (3)
```
### Adjust AST optimazation with `no_ast_opt` instruction
```
> cat a.peg
Additive <- Multitive '+' Additive / Multitive
Multitive <- Primary '*' Multitive / Primary
Primary <- '(' Additive ')' / Number { no_ast_opt }
Number <- < [0-9]+ >
%whitespace <- [ \t\r\n]*
> peglint --ast --opt --source "1 + 2 * 3" a.peg
+ Additive/0
+ Multitive/1[Primary]
- Number (1)
+ Additive/1[Multitive]
+ Primary/1
- Number (2)
+ Multitive/1[Primary]
- Number (3)
> peglint --ast --opt-only --source "1 + 2 * 3" a.peg
+ Additive/0
+ Multitive/1
- Primary/1[Number] (1)
+ Additive/1
+ Multitive/0
- Primary/1[Number] (2)
+ Multitive/1
- Primary/1[Number] (3)
```
