 Top-down parsing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An LL parser, also called a top-bottom parser or top-down parser, applies each production rule to the incoming symbols by working from the left-most symbol yielded on a production rule and then proceeding to the next production rule for each non-terminal symbol encountered.
A compiler parses input from a programming language to assembly language or an internal representation by matching the incoming symbols to Backus-Naur form production rules.
A non-ambiguous language may be parsed by an LL(1) grammar where the (1) signifies the parser reads ahead one token at a time.

 Parsing
This section examines top-down, bottom-up parsing, and left-corner parsing, their strengths and limitations, and then examines chart parsing, looking at the Earley algorithm.
understand the differences between top-down and bottom-up parsing
Parsing involves recognising an input string as a grammatical sentence and assigning a structure to it.

 Compiler - Open Encyclopedia
Cross compilers are very useful when bringing up a new hardware platform for the first time (see bootstrapping).
A pass in this context is a run of the compiler through the source code of the program to be compiled, resulting in the building up of the internal data of the compiler (such as the evolving symbol table and other assisting data).
In that phase, type checking is done and most of compiler errors show up.

 SYMBOLIC PROCESSING IN PASCAL - Chapter 6
In the remainder of this chapter we shall look at two related bottom up parsing methods which are very simple and efficient, but are applicable only to a rather narrow class of languages.
This is an essential difference between a top down parsing method like recursive descent, and the bottom up method you were using in your head.
In this chapter we shall study bottom up methods applied to parsing and translating.

At the start of the parsing process, the parser is in the state 1 with the first symbol in the input stream as the input table.
Each parsing step will be driven by the table entry identified by the current state and the input symbol.
As oppose to top-down parsers we construct the parse tree from the leaves, specificly, the leftmost node that was not constructed yet, but all of its children have been constructed, the sequence of children (or right hand side of a rule) is a handle, constructing a node N and connecting children is called reducing.

 Performance of the Scheduling Parser and the Grammar
Bottom-up parsing is favored for its robustness, and this robustness derives from the fact that a bottom-up parser will construct nodes and edges in the chart that a parser with top-down prediction would not.
However, in practical parsing, what is needed is a scheduling strategy that enables us to pursue only the most likely paths in the search space and to find the correct parse without exhaustively trying all possibilities.
The fastest parsing algorithms for context-free grammars make use of prediction based on left context to limit the number of nodes and edges the parser must insert into the chart.

In the parse tree, the node corresponding to this \NonTerminal{A} is supplied with children that are labeled with the symbols in $\gamma$.
Of course, the parse table plays a central role in determining the shifts and reductions that are necessary to recognize a valid string.
For example, an \LR(3) parse table is indexed by the parse state to select a row, and by the next 3 input tokens to select a column.

 7.2 Bottom Up Parsing and Recognition
The basic idea of bottom up parsing and recognition is to begin with the concrete data provided by the input string --- that is, the words we have to parse/recognize --- and try to build bigger and bigger pieces of structure using this information.
If we find them, we will use this information to conclude that we have found a C. That is, in bottom up parsing, the flow of information is from the right hand side of the rules to the left hand side of the rules.
Putting it another way, bottom up parsing is about moving from concrete low-level information, to more abstract high-level information.

 Bottom-up parsing
There are some problems with top-down parsing in general and recursive descent in particular.
If the top of the stack is a terminal which does not match the input token, pop the terminal and issue a message (like "missing semicolon inserted"), then continue.
At each step of the algorithm, the parser performs one of two operations: a shift, which is to get the next token from the input and push it onto the stack; or reduce, which is to apply one of the reduction rules to one or more symbols on the top of the stack.

Bottom Up Parsing @(http://www.cs.usfca.edu/~parrt, Terence Parr) Previously we saw that _LL(k)_ parsing proceeds in a goal-oriented fashion starting at start symbol and trying to find a leftmost derivation that eventually yields the input sentence.
Bottom-up parsing simply proceeds in the reverse order--it starts with the symbols of the input sentence and tries to find production right-hand-sides (substrings of a sentential form) that it can replace with a nonterminal.
> A bottom up parser is trying to go backwards, performing the following *reverse* derivation sequence: _ax_ %c(derives) \ _Ax_ %c(derives) \ _S_ Intuitively, a top-down parser tries to _expand_ nonterminals into right-hand-sides and a bottom-up parser tries to replace (_reduce_) right-hand-sides with nonterminals.

 5.0 Bottom-Up Parsing
However, as we will see, the bottom-up parsing method described here pushes terminals and nonterminals on a stack until an appropriate right-hand side is found, and right-recursion can be somewhat inefficient in that many symbols must be pushed before a right-hand side is found.
As in LL(1) parsing, the driver discovers that something is wrong when a token which cannot be used in a reduction is pushed onto the stack.
Parsing begins with state 0 on the stack and the input terminated by "$":

 Bottom-Up (Shift-Reduce) Parsing
In bottom-up parsing we start with the sentence and try to apply the production rules in reverse, in order to finish up with the start symbol of the grammar.
In order to construct the DFA from a grammar we need some way of representing the current status of the parse as a state in the DFA.
This corresponds to starting at the leaves of the parse tree, and working back to the root.

 Voice Recognition
We can demonstrate a simple bottom-up parse on the sentence 'Wow.', by maintaining a table with one column for each word in the sentence, and one row for each word in the sentence (one word = one table entry).
Parsing means dividing and subdividing the parts of the sentence into their components, and describing the relationships between these parts.
Now the rule at the bottom of the stack is 'S -> NP VP', and from entries C, and D, we've fit those rules to the first word of input [0]Jesus[1].

 Parsing

 Simple Parsing Methods
Both top-down and bottom-up parsing are based on the idea of repeatedly modifying a sequence of symbols (based on allowed rewrites in the grammar rules), with the aim of getting from a sequence consisting of just the start symbol, to our sequence to be parsed.
The illustration for bottom up parsing starts with the sentence itself, and uses the grammar rules to determine how combinations of words can be rewritten as more abstract grammatical categories (e.g., ``The dog'' is a noun phrase).
Parsing methods can be divided into top-down methods and bottom-up methods.

The idea is that the source code is parsed by gradual, iterative refinement to produce the completely translated object code at the end of the process.
There is, however, some dispute over the general use of parse for all those phases (passes), since some of them, e.g.

 CPS 450 top-down and bottom-up parsing
In bottom-up parsing, we build the parse tree a piece at a time, looking at the tokens and trying to find the simplest, lowest-level units they can be part of.
Unlike top-down and bottom-up design (where top-down is considered generally superior) top-down and bottom-up parsing each has its advantages and disadvantages.
Top-down parsing is goal directed: "Here is a good parse, let's see if we have the data." Bottom-up parsing is data directed: "This is what we have, let's see if it's a good parse."
