Subject: ocamllex and python-style indentation
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:57:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7d8707de0906110557n6a1511a2k9f4f00827f954cb6@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

My parsing powers are not sufficient to easily come up with
lexer/parser for a simple language that uses python-style indentation
and newline rules. Does anyone have such a thing lying around, written
in ocamllex/yacc or menhir? I would appreciate a peek to see how
you've dealt with it.

For example, suppose we want just a very simple fragment of Python
involving True, False, conditional statements, variables, and
assignments, such as:

if True:
    x = 3
    y = (2 +
      4 + 5)
else:
    x = 5
    if False:
        x = 8
        z = 2

How would I go about writing a lexer/parser for such a thing in ocaml?

Andrej
