(* base.sig: Base signature file for SML-Yacc.  This file contains signatures
   that must be loaded before any of the files produced by ML-Yacc are loaded

(* STREAM: signature for a lazy stream.*)

signature STREAM =
 sig type 'xa stream
     val streamify : (unit -> '_a) -> '_a stream
     val cons : '_a * '_a stream -> '_a stream
     val get : '_a stream -> '_a * '_a stream
 end

(* LR_TABLE: signature for an LR Table.

   The list of actions and gotos passed to mkLrTable must be ordered by state
   number. The values for state 0 are the first in the list, the values for
    state 1 are next, etc.
*)

	val action : table -> state * term -> action
	val goto : table -> state * nonterm -> state
	val initialState : table -> state
	exception Goto of state * nonterm

	val mkLrTable : {actions : ((term,action) pairlist * action) array,
			 gotos : (nonterm,state) pairlist array,
			 numStates : int, numRules : int,
			 initialState : state} -> table
    end

(* TOKEN: signature revealing the internal structure of a token. This signature
   TOKEN distinct from the signature {parser name}_TOKENS produced by ML-Yacc.
   The {parser name}_TOKENS structures contain some types and functions to
    construct tokens from values and positions.

   The representation of token was very carefully chosen here to allow the
   polymorphic parser to work without knowing the types of semantic values
   or line numbers.

   This has had an impact on the TOKENS structure produced by SML-Yacc, which
   is a structure parameter to lexer functors.  We would like to have some
   type 'a token which functions to construct tokens would create.  A
   constructor function for a integer token might be

	  INT: int * 'a * 'a -> 'a token.
 
   This is not possible because we need to have tokens with the representation
   given below for the polymorphic parser.

   Thus our constructur functions for tokens have the form:

	  INT: int * 'a * 'a -> (svalue,'a) token

   This in turn has had an impact on the signature that lexers for SML-Yacc
   must match and the types that a user must declare in the user declarations
   section of lexers.
*)

signature TOKEN =
    sig
	structure LrTable : LR_TABLE
        datatype ('a,'b) token = TOKEN of LrTable.term * ('a * 'b * 'b)
	val sameToken : ('a,'b) token * ('a,'b) token -> bool
    end

(* LR_PARSER: signature for a polymorphic LR parser *)

signature LR_PARSER =
    sig
	structure Stream: STREAM
	structure LrTable : LR_TABLE
	structure Token : TOKEN

	sharing LrTable = Token.LrTable

	exception ParseError

	val parse : {table : LrTable.table,
		     lexer : ('_b,'_c) Token.token Stream.stream,
		     arg: 'arg,
		     saction : int *
			       '_c *
				(LrTable.state * ('_b * '_c * '_c)) list * 
				'arg ->
				     LrTable.nonterm *
				     ('_b * '_c * '_c) *
				     ((LrTable.state *('_b * '_c * '_c)) list),
		     void : '_b,
		     ec : { is_keyword : LrTable.term -> bool,

				      (* error correction *)
			} -> '_b *
			     (('_b,'_c) Token.token Stream.stream)
    end

(* LEXER: a signature that most lexers produced for use with SML-Yacc's
   output will match.  The user is responsible for declaring type token,
   type pos, and type svalue in the UserDeclarations section of a lexer.

   Note that type token is abstract in the lexer.  This allows SML-Yacc to
   create a TOKENS signature for use with lexers produced by ML-Lex that
   treats the type token abstractly.  Lexers that are functors parametrized by
   a Tokens structure matching a TOKENS signature cannot examine the structure
   of tokens.
*)

   also take an argument before yielding a function from unit to a token
*)

         (UserDeclarations.svalue,UserDeclarations.pos) UserDeclarations.token
   end

(* PARSER_DATA: the signature of ParserData structures in {parser name}LrValsFun
   produced by  SML-Yacc.  All such structures match this signature.  

   The {parser name}LrValsFun produces a structure which contains all the values
   except for the lexer needed to call the polymorphic parser mentioned
   before.

	   recovery in an error-correcting parser *)
