chibicc/parse.c

// This file contains a recursive descent parser for C.
//
// Most functions in this file are named after the symbols they are
// supposed to read from an input token list. For example, stmt() is
// responsible for reading a statement from a token list. The function
// then construct an AST node representing a statement.
//
// Each function conceptually returns two values, an AST node and
// remaining part of the input tokens. Since C doesn't support
// multiple return values, the remaining tokens are returned to the
// caller via a pointer argument.
//
// Input tokens are represented by a linked list. Unlike many recursive
// descent parsers, we don't have the notion of the "input token stream".
// Most parsing functions don't change the global state of the parser.
// So it is very easy to lookahead arbitrary number of tokens in this
// parser.

#include "chibicc.h"

// All local variable instances created during parsing are
// accumulated to this list.
