compilerdesign 1.0.1

A Python library for demonstrating compiler design concepts

compilerdesign

A Python library for demonstrating core Compiler Design concepts. Import it as cd and use clean, simple functions covering everything from lexical analysis to intermediate code generation.

pip install compilerdesign

Quick Start

import compilerdesign as cd

Features & API Reference

1. Lexical Analyzer

code = """
int main() {
    int x = 10;
    float y = 3.14;
    return x + y;
}
"""
result = cd.lexical_analyzer(code)
print(result['summary'])
# {'total_tokens': 24, 'keywords': 5, 'identifiers': 4, 'integer_constants': 1,
#  'float_constants': 1, 'operators': 3, ...}
print(result['tokens'])       # list of (token_type, value)
print(result['unique_identifiers'])  # ['main', 'x', 'y']

2. Grammar Transformations

Grammar format: dict mapping non-terminal → list of production strings.

grammar = {
    'E': ['E + T', 'T'],
    'T': ['T * F', 'F'],
    'F': ['( E )', 'id']
}

# Eliminate Left Recursion
new_g = cd.eliminate_left_recursion(grammar)
# {'E': ["T E'"], "E'": ["+ T E'", 'ε'], 'T': ["F T'"], "T'": ["* F T'", 'ε'], ...}

# Left Factoring
grammar2 = {'A': ['a b', 'a c', 'd']}
factored = cd.left_factoring(grammar2)
# {'A': ["a A'", 'd'], "A'": ['b', 'c']}

# Check Ambiguity
result = cd.check_ambiguity(grammar)
# {'ambiguous': False, 'issues': []}

---

3. FIRST and FOLLOW Sets

grammar = {
    'E':  ['T R'],
    'R':  ['+ T R', 'ε'],
    'T':  ['F Y'],
    'Y':  ['* F Y', 'ε'],
    'F':  ['( E )', 'i']
}

result = cd.compute_first_follow(grammar, start='E')
print(result['FIRST'])   # {'E': ['(', 'i'], 'R': ['+', 'ε'], ...}
print(result['FOLLOW'])  # {'E': ['$', ')'], 'R': ['$', ')'], ...}

# Or individually:
first  = cd.compute_first(grammar)
follow = cd.compute_follow(grammar, start='E')

---

4. LL(1) Predictive Parsing Table

table_result = cd.build_ll1_table(grammar, start='E')
print(table_result['is_ll1'])     # True/False
print(table_result['table'])      # {(NonTerminal, Terminal): production}
print(table_result['conflicts'])  # list of conflict strings

# Parse a token string
parse = cd.ll1_parse(grammar, tokens=['i', '+', 'i', '*', 'i'], start='E')
print(parse['accepted'])  # True
for step in parse['steps']:
    print(step)

---

5. Shift-Reduce Parsing

productions = [
    ('E', ['E', '+', 'T']),
    ('E', ['T']),
    ('T', ['T', '*', 'F']),
    ('T', ['F']),
    ('F', ['id'])
]
result = cd.shift_reduce_parse(productions, tokens=['id', '+', 'id'])
print(result['accepted'])  # True
for step in result['steps']:
    print(step)  # {'stack': [...], 'input': [...], 'action': '...'}

---

6. LEADING and TRAILING Sets

result = cd.compute_leading_trailing(grammar)
print(result['LEADING'])   # {'E': ['(', '+', '*', 'i'], ...}
print(result['TRAILING'])  # {'E': [')', '+', '*', 'i'], ...}

---

7. LR(0) Items

productions = [
    ('E', ['E', '+', 'T']),
    ('E', ['T']),
    ('T', ['id'])
]
result = cd.compute_lr0_items(productions, start='E')
print(f"Total states: {result['num_states']}")
for state in result['states']:
    print(f"\nState {state['id']}:")
    for item in state['items']:
        print(f"  {item}")
for (frm, sym, to) in result['transitions']:
    print(f"  State {frm} --{sym}--> State {to}")

---

8. Intermediate Code Generation

# Infix → Postfix (RPN)
cd.infix_to_postfix("a + b * c")      # "a b c * +"
cd.infix_to_postfix("(a + b) * c")    # "a b + c *"

# Infix → Prefix (Polish Notation)
cd.infix_to_prefix("a + b * c")       # "+ a * b c"

# Postfix → Infix
cd.postfix_to_infix("a b c * +")      # "(a + (b * c))"

# Prefix → Infix
cd.prefix_to_infix("+ a * b c")       # "(a + (b * c))"

# Universal converter
cd.convert_expression("a + b * c", from_notation="infix", to_notation="postfix")
cd.convert_expression("a b c * +",  from_notation="postfix", to_notation="prefix")
