Expand description

Helper type for parsing right-associative binary infix operators.

Reduces deep right-recursion by parsing a stream of binary infix operators iteratively, then transforming the sequence of nodes into a right-leaning tree.

  • L is the type of the left-hand side of the production, i.e., the sub-production at the next highest precedence level.
  • O is the type of the interleaved binary operator itself.

That is, a production in EBNF style would look like:

RightAssoc = L O RightAssoc
           | L

Examples

#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, Debug, Parse, ToTokens)]
enum Term {
    Lit(LitBool),
    Var(Ident),
    Not(
        Tilde,
        #[parsel(recursive)]
        Box<Term>,
    ),
    Group(
        #[parsel(recursive)]
        Box<Paren<Expr>>
    ),
}

type Expr = RightAssoc<
    Or,
    RightAssoc<
        And,
        Term
    >
>;

let actual: Expr = parse_quote!((~false | a) & ~(b & c & true));
let expected = RightAssoc::<Or, _>::Lhs(RightAssoc::<And, _>::Binary {
    lhs: Term::Group(Box::new(Paren::from(
        RightAssoc::<Or, _>::Binary {
           lhs: RightAssoc::<And, _>::Lhs(Term::Not(
               Tilde::default(),
               Box::new(Term::Lit(LitBool::from(false)))

                RightAssoc::<Or, _>::Lhs(RightAssoc::<And, _>::Binary {
                    lhs: Term::Var(ident("b")),
                    op: And::default(),

                        op: And::default(),
                        rhs: Box::new(RightAssoc::<And, _>::Lhs(
                            Term::Lit(LitBool::from(true)),
                        )),
                    }),
                })
            ))))

Variants

Binary

Fields

lhs: L

Left-hand side of the binary operation.

op: O

The infix binary operator.

rhs: Box<Self>

Right-hand side of the binary operation.

A right-associative binary infix operator was found.

Lhs(L)

No binary operator was found at this level of precedence, so simply forward to the next level.
