The following code example crashes due to stack overflow when parsing an expression deeply nested in brackets.
Parser combinators are part of the standard library. Is there a way of making use of the library avoiding that?
(I'm not asking for the reason of why it crashes rather for the right way to deal with the standard library.)
parsing: ((((((((... 1 + 1 ...)))))))))
code:
import scala.util.parsing.combinator.syntactical.StandardTokenParsers
object ArithmeticParser1 extends StandardTokenParsers {
lexical.delimiters ++= List("(", ")", "+", "-", "*", "/")
val reduceList: Int ~ List[String ~ Int] => Int = {
case i ~ ps => (i /: ps)(reduce)
}
def reduce(x: Int, r: String ~ Int) = (r: @unchecked) match {
case "+" ~ y => x + y
case "-" ~ y => x - y
case "*" ~ y => x * y
case "/" ~ y => x / y
}
def expr : Parser[Int] = term ~ rep ("+" ~ term | "-" ~ term) ^^ reduceList
def term : Parser[Int] = factor ~ rep ("*" ~ factor | "/" ~ factor) ^^ reduceList
def factor: Parser[Int] = "(" ~> expr <~ ")" | numericLit ^^ (_.toInt)
def main(args: Array[String]) {
val s = scala.io.Source.fromFile(args(0)).mkString
val tokens = new lexical.Scanner(s)
println(s)
println(phrase(expr)(tokens))
}
}
