Language.Sifflet.Parser

A parser for Sifflet input values. This is not a parser for all Sifflet expressions, but just those that might be input in textual form through the function call dialog that asks for the argument values. So, it is limited (deliberately) to "data" types of expressions: that is, Exprs using the constructors: ELit EList That means excluding Exprs constructed with EUndefined, ESymbol, EIf, ELambda, and ECall.

Documentation

parseExpr :: String -> SuccFail Expr

Parse a Sifflet data literal (number, string, char, bool, or list), returning an Expr

parseValue :: String -> SuccFail Value

Parse a Sifflet literal expression and return its Value

parseLiteral :: String -> SuccFail Expr

parseTest :: (Stream s Identity t, Show a) => Parsec s () a -> s -> IO ()

The expression parseTest p input applies a parser p against input input and prints the result to stdout. Used for testing parsers.

parseSuccFail :: Parser a -> String -> SuccFail a

parseTypedInput2 :: (String, Type) -> SuccFail Value

Try to parse an input value of a specific type

parseTypedInputs2

Arguments

:: [String]

input strings

-> [Type]

expected types

-> SuccFail [Value]

Try to parse input values of specific types

parseTypedInput3 :: (String, String, Type) -> SuccFail Value

Try to parse an input value for a named variable of a specific type

parseTypedInputs3

Arguments

:: [String]

inputs

-> [String]

variable names

-> [Type]

variable types

-> SuccFail [Value]

Try to parse input values for named variables of specific types

nothingBut :: Parser a -> Parser a

'nothingBut p is like p, but consumes the entire input, so there must be no extraneous characters (except space) after whatever p parses.

expr :: Parser Expr

Parse a Sifflet data expression -- actually only a literal or a list of literals.

list :: Parser a -> Parser [a]

value :: Parser Value

Parser for a Value of any primitive or (concrete) list type

typedValue :: Type -> Parser Value

Parser for a value with a specific primitive or concrete list type expected.

bool :: Parser Bool

qchar :: Parser Char

qstring :: Parser String

integer :: Parser Integer

double :: Parser Double

number :: Parser Number
