convenient LR(1) parser generator
Documentation
//! Precedence expander.
//!
//! Precedence expansion rewrites rules that contain precedence attribute into several rules
//! without attributes. A new rule is created for each level of precedence. Recursive occurrences
//! of the original rule are syntactically substituted for a level rule in each alternative, where
//! the choice of the precise rule is determined by the precedence level, the possible
//! associativity and the position of this occurrence.
//!
//! For concrete examples, see the [`test`](../tests/index.html) module.

/// Associativity of an alternative.
///
/// An alternative may have zero or more recursive occurrence of the current rule. Take for example
/// the common ternary conditional operator `x ? y : z`:
///
/// ```lalrpop
/// #precedence(level="3")
/// <left: Expression> "?" <middle: Expression> : <right: Expression> => ..
/// ```
/// ## Left
///
/// Left associativity means that the construction may be iterated on the left. In this case, `x ? y : z ? foo
/// : bar` is parsed as `(x ? y : z) ? foo : bar`. When such associativity is selected, the
/// expander replaces the first recursive occurrence of `Expression` by the current level, and all
/// others by the previous level:
///
/// ```lalrpop
/// <left: Expression3> "?" <middle: Expression2> : <right: Expression2> => ..
/// ```
///
/// ## Right
///
/// Right associativity means that the construction may be iterated on the right. In this case, `x ? y : z ? foo
/// : bar` is parsed as `x ? y : (z ? foo : bar)`. When such associativity is selected, the
/// expander replaces the last recursive occurrence  of `Expression` by the current level, and all
/// others by the previous level:
///
/// ```lalrpop
/// <left: Expression2> "?" <middle: Expression2> : <right: Expression3> => ..
/// ```
///
/// ## None
///
/// Non-associativity means that it is not legal to iterate the rule, turning our example to
/// a parsing error. In this case, all recursive occurrences of the current rule are replaced with
/// the rule corresponding to the previous level:
///
/// ```lalrpop
/// <left: Expression2> "?" <middle: Expression2> : <right: Expression3> => ..
/// ```
///
/// ## Associative (all)
///
/// An associative rule means that all recursive occurrences are replaced with the current level,
/// which is different from non-associativity. This can be useful for unary operators that may be
/// iterated, such as `-` or `!`, or non ambiguous operators. This is the default associativity.
