The architecture
This section describe the main parts of Rustemo and their interplay. The purpose of this section is to give an overview of the process, main modules and their responsibilities.
The parser generation (a.k.a. grammar compilation) process
The following diagram describes the process of transforming of Rustemo grammar
to a working parser. The input file is given as lang.rustemo. Where lang is
the name of the language describe by the grammar.
The above grammar assumes the default configuration. It might be slightly different if non-defaults are used. For example, if custom builder is used type inference and generating actions (the last step) is not performed.
Rustemo is bootstrapped using itself, thus, the above diagram describes also the
process of bootstrapping. The input grammar is src/lang/rustemo.rustemo and
the process generates src/lang/rustemo.rs which is the parser code and
src/lang/rustemo_actions.rs which are semantic actions for AST construction.
The actions are generated by the AST auto-generation process and manually
adapted.
