Hello, I've inherited some code that does source-to-source translation, with five different passes (each with a different .peg) that take a single long string as input and emits a string as output. I've been requested to add source line information to the results, some way or another. Currently the code strips out all comments from the source and never adds/handles any.
My question: what would be best practice here for retaining source line information? I've thrown around some ideas like supporting comments throughout the grammars, breaking up the single string format and adding line data per string, unifying the grammars so it's a single pass, but nothing proposed has been entirely satisfactory. My previous experience is entirely flex-bison with a single grammar going to an IR. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ PEG mailing list PEG@lists.csail.mit.edu https://lists.csail.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/peg
