Text.ParserCombinators.Poly.State

The Parser datatype

newtype Parser s t a

The Parser datatype is a fairly generic parsing monad with error reporting and a running state. It can be used for arbitrary token types, not just String input.

Constructors

P (s -> [t] -> (EitherE String a, s, [t]))

Instances

Monad (Parser s t)

Functor (Parser s t)

PolyParse (Parser s t)

runParser :: Parser s t a -> s -> [t] -> (Either String a, s, [t])

Apply a parser to an initial state and input token sequence.

basic parsers

next :: Parser s t t

satisfy :: (t -> Bool) -> Parser s t t

State-handling

stUpdate :: (s -> s) -> Parser s t ()

Update the internal state.

stQuery :: (s -> a) -> Parser s t a

Query the internal state.

stGet :: Parser s t s

Deliver the entire internal state.

Re-parsing

reparse :: [t] -> Parser s t ()

Push some tokens back onto the front of the input stream and reparse. This is useful e.g. for recursively expanding macros. When the user-parser recognises a macro use, it can lookup the macro expansion from the parse state, lex it, and then stuff the lexed expansion back down into the parser.

Re-export all more general combinators.
