36 /** A module to perform optimizations on DFAs.
37  *
38  *  I could more easily (and more quickly) do some optimizations (such as
39  *  PRUNE_EBNF_EXIT_BRANCHES) during DFA construction, but then it
40  *  messes up the determinism checking.  For example, it looks like
41  *  loop exit branches are unreachable if you prune exit branches
42  *  during DFA construction and before determinism checks.
43  *
44  *  In general, ANTLR's NFA->DFA->codegen pipeline seems very robust
45  *  to me which I attribute to a uniform and consistent set of data
46  *  structures.  Regardless of what I want to "say"/implement, I do so
47  *  within the confines of, for example, a DFA.  The code generator
48  *  can then just generate code--it doesn't have to do much thinking.
49  *  Putting optimizations in the code gen code really starts to make
50  *  it a spagetti factory (uh oh, now I'm hungry!).  The pipeline is
51  *  very testable; each stage has well defined input/output pairs.
52  *
53  *  ### Optimization: PRUNE_EBNF_EXIT_BRANCHES
54  *
55  *  There is no need to test EBNF block exit branches.  Not only is it
56  *  an unneeded computation, but counter-intuitively, you actually get
57  *  better errors. You can report an error at the missing or extra
58  *  token rather than as soon as you've figured out you will fail.
59  *
60  *  Imagine optional block "( DOT CLASS )? SEMI".  ANTLR generates:
61  *
62  *  int alt=0;
63  *  if ( input.LA(1)==DOT ) {
64  *      alt=1;
65  *  }
66  *  else if ( input.LA(1)==SEMI ) {
67  *      alt=2;
68  *  }
69  *
70  *  Clearly, since Parser.match() will ultimately find the error, we
71  *  do not want to report an error nor do we want to bother testing
72  *  lookahead against what follows the (...)?  We want to generate
73  *  simply "should I enter the subrule?":
74  *
75  *  int alt=2;
76  *  if ( input.LA(1)==DOT ) {
77  *      alt=1;
78  *  }
79  *
80  *  NOTE 1. Greedy loops cannot be optimized in this way.  For example,
81  *  "(greedy=false:'x'|.)* '\n'".  You specifically need the exit branch
82  *  to tell you when to terminate the loop as the same input actually
83  *  predicts one of the alts (i.e., staying in the loop).
84  *
85  *  NOTE 2.  I do not optimize cyclic DFAs at the moment as it doesn't
86  *  seem to work. ;)  I'll have to investigate later to see what work I
87  *  can do on cyclic DFAs to make them have fewer edges.  Might have
88  *  something to do with the EOT token.
89  *
90  *  ### PRUNE_SUPERFLUOUS_EOT_EDGES
91  *
92  *  When a token is a subset of another such as the following rules, ANTLR
93  *  quietly assumes the first token to resolve the ambiguity.
94  *
95  *  EQ			: '=' ;
96  *  ASSIGNOP	: '=' | '+=' ;
97  *
98  *  It can yield states that have only a single edge on EOT to an accept
99  *  state.  This is a waste and messes up my code generation. ;)  If
100  *  Tokens rule DFA goes
101  *
102  * 		s0 -'='-> s3 -EOT-> s5 (accept)
103  *
104  *  then s5 should be pruned and s3 should be made an accept.  Do NOT do this
105  *  for keyword versus ID as the state with EOT edge emanating from it will
106  *  also have another edge.
107  *
108  *  ### Optimization: COLLAPSE_ALL_INCIDENT_EDGES
109  *
110  *  Done during DFA construction.  See method addTransition() in
111  *  NFAToDFAConverter.
112  *
113  *  ### Optimization: MERGE_STOP_STATES
114  *
115  *  Done during DFA construction.  See addDFAState() in NFAToDFAConverter.
