Java应用中表达式解析器(Java Cup/JFlex)生成器的介绍及示例

2010-07-01 15:31 585 查看
在基于Java的软件系统的构建过程中,开发人员经常会遇到词法解析、语法解析等问题,比如:在报表系统的中一般需要支持单元格计算公式(类似于Excel的公式),在某些系统的数据转换过程要实现自定义的转换规则脚本。面对这一类问题,我们最终需要的是一个针对问题域的词法及语法解析器,通常的实现方式不外乎有以下几种:

1. 自己实现全部过程

当所涉及语法非常简单(一般只有一两句原语)时,可以选择该方式。

优点:最直接,自然而然的选择;如果开发人员理论基础扎实的话不需要额外的学习负担。

缺点:要求有一定的理论基础;不利于扩充、或设计良好利于扩充但随着未来需求的改变及新语法的不断增加使扩充的开发成本不可控;测试成本增加;因未经过应用检验而存在风险;

2. 使用第三方的脚本引擎

当所涉及的语法及其复杂(需要支持比较复杂的脚本,甚至需要实现一种新的程序设计语言时,类似于Brio Query中提供的自定义脚本功能)时,可以选择该方式。目前,在互联网上有很多第三方脚本引擎(如:针对应用有:Netscape Script Engine、JavaRhino、BeanShell、IBM BSF、Tcl-Java等,针对Delphi应用有:Innerfuse Pascal Script 3,对微软体系有Microsoft Script Engine。这些引擎的具体情况不在这里讨论)可以选择,只需要少量的编程工作这些脚本引擎大多都可以内嵌到宿主应用程序中,为宿主应用程序提供脚本支持功能。

优点:开发工作量少;部分引擎已经得到广泛应用的验证;具有复杂的脚本支持能力,可以提供类似于程序设计语言的处理能力。

缺点:脚本的语法由使用的引擎决定,往往比较复杂,对于处理简单问题的场合显得过于累赘;系统中需要引入第三方的类库/控件;要求最终用户学习引擎所规定的脚本语法;某些引擎在访问应用系统的运行时对象时能力有限。

3. 使用语法解析器生成器

使用过Unix的同志一般会知道在Unix中有Yacc/Lex,C语言的编译器生成器。在Java中,也有相应的工具。此方法使用JFlex/Java_Cup生成语法解析源码。本人使用这种方法成功的实现了类似Excel那样的公式,支持多种运算及函数,可以维护上下文,可以在表达式中引用系统的对象体系,可以执行动作,并且可以任意扩展而不需要修改解析源码。

关于JFlex与Java_Cup的文档你需要自己到下面的链接中仔细看看。其中关键的部分是需要定义你的语法及词法分析文件,类似于BNF表达式

主要步骤如下(为了方便,这里仅仅以四则运算为例,这个例子也是编译器构造工具的通用例子,满世界都采用它。):

当然首先你必须下在JFlex与Java_cup,并解压到特定目录,假定二者的目录分别是${JFlex_home}、${Java_Cup_home}。

3.2生成词法解析程序
执行${JFlex_home}binjflex.bat,并输入calc.flex,成功后输出lex.java文件即四则运算的词法解析文件。职责主要是从本例中的四则运算字符串输入中进行词法分析,输出每一个Token,比如数字、运算符等。

‘expr_part’.  The lhs of the non terminals ‘expr_list’ and
‘expr_part’ that are in the rhs side of the production below need
to be found.  Then the rhs sides of those non terminals need to be
followed in a similar manner, i.e. if there are any non terminals
in the rhs of those productions then the productions with those non
terminals need to be found and those rhs’s followed.  This process
keeps continuing until only terminals are found in the rhs of a
production.  Then we can work our way back up the grammar bringing
any values that might have been assigned from a terminal. */

after the non terminal ‘expr’ is a label an is used to access the
value of ‘expr’ which will be an integer.  The action for the
production lies between {: and :}.  This action will print out the
line " = + e" where e is the value of ‘expr’.  Before the action
takes places we need to go deeper into the grammar since ‘expr’ is
a non terminal.  Whenever a non terminal is encountered on the rhs
of a production we need to find the rhs of that non terminal until
there are no more non terminals in the rhs.  So when we finish
going through the grammar and don’t encounter any more non
terminals in the rhs productions will return until we get back to
‘expr’ and at that point ‘expr’ will contain an integer value. */

‘factor’.  The ‘TIMES’ and ‘DIVIDE’ productions are not at this
level.  They are at a lower level in the grammar which in affect
makes them have higher precedence.  Actions for the rhs of the non
terminal ‘expr’ return a value to ‘expr’.  This value that is
created is an integer and gets stored in ‘RESULT’ in the action.
RESULT is the label that is assigned automatically to the rhs, in
this case ‘expr’.  If the rhs is just ‘factor’ then ‘f’ refers to
the non terminal ‘factor’.  The value of ‘f’ is retrieved with the
function ‘intValue()’ and will be stored in ‘RESULT’.  In the other
two cases ‘f’ and ‘e’ refers to the non terminals ‘factor’ and
‘expr’ respectively with a terminal between them, either ‘PLUS’ or
‘MINUS’.  The value of each is retrieved with the same function
‘intValue’.  The values will be added or subtracted and then the
new integer will be stored in ‘RESULT’.*/

‘factor’ as in ‘expr’.  The only difference is the operations that
takes place on the values retrieved with ‘intValue()’, ‘TIMES’ and

first production has the non terminal ‘expr’ in it so the

next rhs has no non terminals.  So the grammar ends here and can go
back up.  When it goes back up it will bring the value that was
retrieved when the scanner encounter the token ‘NUMBER’.  ‘RESULT’
is assigned ‘n’, which refers to ‘NUMBER’, as the action for this
production.  The same action occurs for ‘ID’, except the ‘i’ is
used to refer to ‘ID’.  ‘ID’ is also the only thing on the rhs of
the production.  And since ‘ID’ is a terminal the grammar will end
here and go back up. */

3.4 生成语法解析器calc.cup
当前目录切换到${java_cup_home}下,执行

java java_cup.Main options < calc.cup

其中,Options可以自己读文档,视情况而设。

执行的结果是生成了语法解析文件parser.java,它负责从lex.java中接受token流,构造语法规则,比如生成语法解析树。

至此,你已经拥有了一个解析器,只要在你的代码中引入Parser.java,调用其相应parse()方法即可完成表达式解析过程。测试调用过程如下:

/*
Commented By: Christopher Lopes
File Name: Main.java
To Create:
After the scanner, lcalc.flex, and the parser, ycalc.cup, have been created.
> javac Main.java
To Run:
> java Main test.txt
where test.txt is an test input file for the calculator.
*/
import java.io.*;
public class Main {
static public void main(String argv[]) {
/* Start the parser */
try {
parser p = new parser(new Lexer(new FileReader(argv[0])));
Object result = p.parse().value;
} catch (Exception e) {
/* do cleanup here — possibly rethrow e */
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}


不过在处理复杂表达式(涉及到上下文、系统其他对象引用等)时,你需要仔细定义语法规则文件中的action。
