SYNOPSYS ^

  .sub _main :main
      load_bytecode 'CardinalGrammar.pir'
      .local pmc start_rule
      .local pmc match
      .local string source
 
      # Ruby 1 source code
      source = 'puts 1;'

      # Retrieve the start rule
      start_rule = get_root_global [ 'parrot'; 'Cardinal::Grammar'], 'program'

      # Parse the source and return a match object
      match = start_rule(source)

      ... # Do something with the parse tree

      end
  .end

DESCRIPTION ^

This is a grammar to parse Cardinal programs. It inherits the behavior of the PGE::Grammar class. It parses a string of source code according to its hierarchy of rules and returns a PGE::Match object (a parse tree).
