Hi

[Vijayaraghavan Jagannathan]

Hi all, I have the following requirement.  Can anyone suggest a method by which this can be solved.

 

A syntax description written in Bison parses the following synatx.

 

Section A

    statements in Section A

END;

Section B

    statements in Section B

END;

Section C

    statements in Section C

END;

Section D

    statements in Section D

END;

 

These four sections in a single syntax file could be easily parsed by writing a grammar that looks for the section headers and then parsing the section on the sub-grammar defined for that.

 

Consider a following sequence:

 

If the Sections are defined in separate files and are to be combined together to form the input syntax !!! Like the way we do include header files in C/C++ as given below :

 

FileName : "abc.sourcefile"

 

#include <SECTION A FILE>

#include <SECTION B FILE>

#include <SECTION C FILE>

Section D

    statements in Section D

END;

 

where

SECTION A FILE is as follows:

 

Section A

    statements in Section A

END;

 

and similarly other files contain only their sections.

 

The parsing functionality is an interface provided via a DLL. i.e. another process will consume this parse function.  The parse function will be called likewise

parse("abc.sourcefile").   The "abc.sourcefile" is to be opened inside the parser.  If it contains #include statements as above ! how to process them !  If it is a EXE, we can call CPP32 a C Pre-processor available in windows platform.  I want a solution for DLL.

 

How to process the #include directive.  If anyone has a solution, please do let me know.

 

Thanx in advance

 

JVRN.

 

Note :  I use Visual Studio 6.0 to compile the C file that is generated by the parser.
