  LR parser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In typical use when we refer to an LR parser we mean a particular parser capable of recognising a particular language specified by a context free grammar.
Of all parsers that scan their input left to right, LR parsers detect syntactic errors (that is, when the input does not conform to the grammar) as soon as possible.
LR parsers are difficult to produce by hand; they are usually constructed by a parser generator or a compiler-compiler.

 Simple LR parser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Such a parser can prevent certain shift-reduce and reduce-reduce conflicts (see LR parser) that occur in LR(0) parsers and it can therefore deal with more grammars.
However, it still cannot parse all grammars that can be parsed by an LR(1) parser.
A grammar that can be parsed by an SLR parser is called a SLR grammar.

The parsers we are considering here are called bottom-up parsers, or LR parsers, and they are characterized by reading characters from the Left and making derivations from the Right-most nonterminal.
Hand-written parsers (including those built using so-called parser combinators in functional languages), are usually top-down parsers, or LL parsers, which read characters from the Left and make derivations from the Left-most nonterminal.
The parser is a stack (or pushdown) automaton, which is a finite automaton equipped with a stack of the nonterminals parsed so far.

A disadvantage of this solution is the increase of the parser size by a factor of two to four, mainly because a second parser is needed for error recovery.
The parser generated by Lalr is 35% larger then the Yacc parser, mainly because of the code for error recovery.
Parsers generated by Ell were found to be the fastest exceeding the speed of Lalr by 50%.

 Handout # 3 LR Parsing
The non-determinism of step 2 can lead to parsing conflicts: shift/reduce conflicts when there is a dot before a terminal in the current state as well as a complete item, and reduce/reduce conflicts when there are more than one complete item.
Realistic parsers such as SLR(1), LALR(1) and LR(1) use one token of lookahead to determine for each complete item whether the reduction will lead to a parse state that can shift the given token.
If the states are constructed ahead of time in parse tables, then step 1 consists of pushing state 0 on the stack and step 3 consists of using the current state and symbol to look up the new state from the table.

 Introduction to Shift-Reduce Parsing
During the operation of the parser, symbols from the input are shifted onto the stack.
Such a parser will reduce by the rule corresponding to a reducing item in a state, whenever the current lookahead is among the symbols which may follow the rule's LHS nonterminal anywhere in the grammar.
Such a parser will reduce by the rule corresponding to a reducing item in a state, whenever the current lookahead is among the symbols which may follow the rule's LHS nonterminal only in the context of that state.

After a sequence of shift and reduce operations that process the first three symbols of "abcxyz", the parser might be looking at a stack with "aBc" and a remaining input of "xyz", of which "x" is the current token and y and z have not yet been scanned.
Although Merr generates error messages for conventional LR parsers with minimal error recovery mechanisms, more powerful error recovery mechanisms are related in that they can present the repaired program in the error message, as a suggestion as to how the programmer may correct their program [Conway].
Advocates of recursive descent parsers cite error messages as an advantage of their approach; this advantage is lessened by the availability of a tool such as Merr.

The first and simplest kind of shift-reduce parser we are going to study is the LR(0) parser.
A shift-reduce parser that uses lookahead makes decisions about what to do next based on a combination of the current state and one or more symbols of lookahead taken from the front of the input stream.
The simplest shift-reduce parser that makes use of lookahead is the LR(1) parser, which uses a single symbol of lookahead to help determine parser actions.

 CS 434 Lecture Notes -- LR Parsing
The point of this definition is to capture the set of strings that a bottom up parser might expect to see at some point on its stack during a parse.
As long as the prefix of a sentential form of a shift-reduce parser is a viable prefix for the associated grammar, things are OK (i.e.
Our approach to building LR(0) parsers will be based on a notation for describing "what point in a rule we are up to".

Ans: 1) By constructing a DFA that encodes all parser states, and transitions on terminals and nonterminals.
The transitions on terminals are the parser actions(also called the action table) and transitions on nonterminals resulting in a new state (also called the goto table).
LR(0) parser (like a FSA) needs to know how much the production (on the rhs) we have scanned so far.

 Bottom Up Parsing
Notice that the configuration of the parser corresponds to a reverse rightmost derivation.
An LR(k) parser's recognition strength lies with the fact that a given parser state may correspond to multiple grammar positions.
Consequently, the parser cannot know which embedded action to execute until it uniquely identifies which surrounding production to reduce; i.e., until it performs a reduce.

 5.0 Bottom-Up Parsing
The metalanguage for a bottom-up parser is not as restrictive as that for a top-down parser.
This BNF is input to the parser generator to produce tables which are then accessed by the driver as the input is read.
The form of the tables depends upon whether the generated parser is a top-down parser or a bottom-up parser.

Like Earley parsers, LR parsers can be built using various amounts of lookahead to make the operation of the parser (more) deterministic, and hence more efficient.
Only the case of zero-lookahead, LR(0), is considered here; the correspondence between LR(k) parsers and k-lookahead Earley parsers is discussed in the literature [Earley1970, Aho and Ullman1972].
Once again, it is helpful to compare this to a closely related finite-state concept: the states of the LR parser correspond to sets of Earley states, similar to the way the states of a deterministic FSA correspond to sets of states of an equivalent non-deterministic FSA under the standard subset construction.

 CS 434 Lecture Notes -- Building an LR(1) Machine
First, we need to extend the definitions which we used to define the transition function for an LR(0) machine to account for the lookaheads we have added to LR(1) items.
Note that the language accepted by the LR(1) FSM is the same as that accepted by the LR(0) machine (i.e.
The extra states in the machine, however, include information that can be used to make a better parser.

 5.2.4 LR-Family Members   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
If no lookahead is used to create the table, then the parser would be called an LR(0) parser.
There is another type of parser which recognizes almost as many constructs as an LR(1) parser.
This is called a LALR(1) parser and is constructed by first constructing the LR(1) items and states and them merging many of them.

Note that an LR parser is a shift-reduce parser that traces out a rightmost derivation in reverse.
An LR(0) item of a grammar is a production of the grammar with a dot at some position of the right side.
A viable prefix is a prefix of a right sentential form that does not continue past the right end of the rightmost handle of that sentential form.

 LR Parser Generation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
First an LR(0) automaton is constructed by generating a collection of sets of LR(0) items from the set of production rules.
If the result is an automaton free of 'inconsistent' states then we have a parser, and ordinary Follow sets may be used to determine when to apply a reduction.
To this effect, inconsistent states in the initial LR(0) automaton, remaining after precedence information has been incorporated, are augmented with so-called LALR lookahead sets.

 Language Implemtation Tools - LR(0) NFA/DFA procedures
The first item in the grammar is conventionally the start state, although any initial item can be used for this purpose.
To summarize: The lr(0) NFA has final states which specify reductions, terminal transitions, which specify permissible input, non-terminal transitions, which specify permissible feedback from the parsing of nested constructs, and epsilon edges, which specify points at which nested constructs may begin.
But the lr(1) parser requires a deterministic lr(0) automata So the code in this file not only must construct the lr(0) NFA, but it must convert that NFA into a DFA.
