slang::Parser class
#include <slang/parsing/Parser.h>

Implements a full syntax parser for SystemVerilog.

Contents

Public types

struct NodeMetadata
Collection of metadata that can be associated with a syntax node at parse time.

Public functions

auto parseCompilationUnit() -> CompilationUnitSyntax&
Parse a whole compilation unit.
auto parseExpression() -> ExpressionSyntax&
auto parseGuess() -> SyntaxNode&
auto isDone() -> bool
Check whether the parser has consumed the entire input stream.
auto getEOFToken() -> Token
Gets the EndOfFile token, if one has been consumed. Otherwise returns an empty token.
auto getMetadataMap() -> MetadataMap&&
auto getGlobalInstantiations() -> NameSet&&

Function documentation

ExpressionSyntax& slang::Parser::parseExpression()

Parse an expression / statement / module / class / name. These are mostly for testing; only use if you know that the source stream is currently looking at one of these.

SyntaxNode& slang::Parser::parseGuess()

Generalized node parse function that tries to figure out what we're looking at and parse that specifically. A normal batch compile won't call this, since in a well formed program every file is a compilation unit, but for snippets of code this can be convenient.

MetadataMap&& slang::Parser::getMetadataMap()

Gets metadata that was in effect when certain syntax nodes were parsed (such as various bits of preprocessor state).

NameSet&& slang::Parser::getGlobalInstantiations()

Gets a set of names of all instantiations of global modules/interfaces/programs. This can be used to determine which modules should be considered as top-level roots of the design.
