1. Compiler1 5.1.3 Syntactic Analysis r Two general classes of parsing techniques m Bottom-up (Operator-Precedence parsing) Begin with the terminal nodes of the tree, and attempt to combine these into successively higher-level nodes until the root is reached. m Top-down (Recursive-Descent parsing) Begin with the rule of the grammar that specifies the goal of the analysis, and attempt to construct the tree so that the terminal nodes match the statements being analyzed.

2. Compiler2 r Examining pairs of consecutive operators in the source program, and making decisions about which operation should be performed first. r Example: A + B * C – D Note: * and / have higher precedence than + and -. Operator-Precedence Parsing

3. Compiler3 Operator-Precedence Parsing (cont.) r Define the precedence relations for every terminal, by using =. r E.g., PROGRAM =. VAR BEGIN <. FOR

13. Compiler13 Recursive-Descent Parsing r A top-down method. r When a procedure is called, it attempt to find a substring of the input, beginning with the current token, that can be interpreted as the nonterminal with which the procedure is associated. r Problem of left recursion: m Rule 6. ::= id |, id (Unable to decide between its two alternative since both id and can begin with id ) m Rule 7. ::= | ; m …
