| Subject: | ocamllex and python-style indentation |
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?
