NAME

lua.pg - a Lua 5.1 grammar in PGE

DESCRIPTION

GRAMMAR RULES

The grammar rules are according to the original Lua parser as defined lparser.c in the lua distribution.

Helper rules will match a specific token, otherwise a syntax error is generated. These rules make the grammar more readable, so the calls to syntaxerror() are not all over the grammar, but only in these rules.

TOKENS

Tokens not defined here (in PGE) are written in PIR in languages/lua/src/lua51.pir.

EXPRESSIONS

Operator precedence is implemented using an optable.
