This new parser generator for ambiguous regular expressions (RE) formally extends the Berry-Sethi (BS) algorithm into a finite-state device that specifies the syntax tree(s). We extend the local testability property of the marked RE’s from terminal strings to linearized syntax trees. The generator supports disambiguation, i.e., selecting a preferred tree in case of ambiguity. The selection is parametric with respect to the Greedy or POSIX criterion. The parser is proved correct and has linear-time complexity. The generator is available as an interactive SW tool (on GitHub - see http://github.com/breveglieri/ebs/README).

Abstract
This new parser generator for ambiguous regular expressions (RE) formally extends the Berry-Sethi (BS) algorithm into a finite-state device that specifies the syntax tree(s). We extend the local testability property of the marked RE’s from terminal strings to linearized syntax trees. The generator supports disambiguation, i.e., selecting a preferred tree in case of ambiguity. The selection is parametric with respect to the Greedy or POSIX criterion. The parser is proved correct and has linear-time complexity. The generator is available as an interactive SW tool (on GitHub - see http://github.com/breveglieri/ebs/README).File in questo prodotto:
