Abstract The article may be interesting for developers who use or plan to use OpenC++ library (OpenCxx). The
author tells about his experience of improving OpenC++ library and modifying the library for solving
special tasks.
Introduction One may often here in forums that there are a lot of C++ syntax analyzers ("parsers"), and many of
them are free. Or that one may take YACC, for example, and realize his own analyzer easily. Don't
believe, it is not so easy [1, 2]. One may understand it especially if one remembers that it is even not
half a task to parse syntax. It is necessary to realize structures for storing the program tree and semantic
tables containing information about different objects and their scopes. It is especially important while
developing specialized applications related to the processing and static analysis of C++ code. It is
necessary for their realization to save the whole program tree what may be provided by few libraries.
One of them is open library OpenC++ (OpenCxx) [3] about which we'll speak in this article.
We'd like to help developers in mastering OpenC++ library and share our experience of modernization
and improvement of some defects. The article is a compilation of pieces of advice, each of which is
devoted to correction of some defect or realization of improvement.
The article is based on recollections about changes that were carried out in VivaCore library [4] based on
OpenC++. Of course, only a small part of these changes is discussed here. It is a difficult task to
remember and describe them all. And, for example, description of addition of C language support into
OpenC++ library will take too much place. But you can always refer to original texts of VivaCore library
and get a lot of interesting information.
It remains to say that OpenC++ library is unfortunately out-of-date now and needs serious improvement
for supporting the modern C++ language standard. That's why if you are going to realize a modern
compiler for example, you'd better pay your attention to GCC or to commercial libraries [5, 6]. But
OpenC++ still remains a good and convenient tool for many developers in the sphere of systems of
specialized processing and modification of program code. With the use of OpenC++ many interesting
solutions are developed, for example, execution environment OpenTS [7] for T++ programming
language (development of Program systems Institution RAS), static code analyzer Viva64 [8] or Synopsis
tool for preparing documentation on the original code [9].
The purpose of the article is to show by examples how one can modify and improve OpenC++ library
code. The article describes 15 library modifications related to error correction or addition of new
functionality. Each of them not only allows to make OpenC++ library better but also gives an opportunity
to study its work principles deeper. Let's get acquainted with them.
1. Skip of development environment keywords not influencing the
program processing While developing a code analyzer for a specific development environment, you are likely to come across
with its specific language constructions. These constructions are often guidance for a concrete compiler
and may not be of interest for you. But such constructions cannot be processed by OpenC++ library as
they are not a part of C++ language. In this case one of the simplest ways to ignore them is to add them
into rw_table table with ignore key. For example:
static rw_table table[] = {
...
{ "__ptr32", Ignore},
{ "__ptr64", Ignore},
{ "__unaligned", Ignore},
...
};
While adding you should keep in mind that words in rw_table table should be arranged in alphabetic
order. Be careful.
2. Addition of a new lexeme If you want to add a keyword which should be processed, you need to create a new lexeme ("token").
Let's look at the example of adding a new keyword "__w64". At first create an identifier of the new
lexeme (see token-name.h file), for example in this way:
enum {
Identifier = 258,
Constant = 262,
...
W64 = 346, // New token name
...
};
Modernize the table "table" in lex.cc file:
static rw_table table[] = {
...
{ "__w64", W64 },
...
};
The next step is to create a class for the new lexeme, which we'll call LeafW64.
namespace Opencxx
{
class LeafW64 : public LeafReserved {
public:
LeafW64(Token& t) : LeafReserved(t) {}
LeafW64(char* str, ptrdiff_t len) :
LeafReserved(str, len) {}
ptrdiff_t What() { return W64; }
};
}
To create an object we'll need to modify optIntegralTypeOrClassSpec() function:
...
case UNSIGNED :
flag = 'U';
kw = new (GC) LeafUNSIGNED(tk);
break;
case W64 : // NEW!
flag = 'W';
kw = new (GC) LeafW64(tk);
break;
...
Pay attention that as far as we've decided to refer "__w64" to data types, we'll need the 'W' symbol for
coding this type. You may learn more about type coding mechanism in Encoding.cc file.
Introducing a new type we must remember that we need to modernize such functions as
Parser::isTypeSpecifier() for example.
And the last important point is modification of Encoding::MakePtree function:
Ptree* Encoding::MakePtree(unsigned char*& encoded, Ptree* decl)
{
...
case 'W' :
typespec = PtreeUtil::Snoc(typespec, w6 4_t);
break;
...
}
Of course, it is only an example, and adding other lexemes may take much more efforts. A good way to
add a new lexeme correctly is to take one close to it in sense and then find and examine all the places in
OpenC++ library where it is used.
3. Skip of development environment complex key constructions not
influencing the program processing We have already examined the way of skipping single keywords which are senseless for our program but
impede code parsing. Unfortunately, sometimes it is even more difficult. Let's take for demonstration
such constructions as __pragma and __noop which you may see in header files of VisualC++:
__forceinline DWORD HEAP_MAKE_TAG_FLAGS (
DWORD TagBase, DWORD Tag )
{
__pragma(warning(push)) __pragma(warning(disabl e : 4548)) do {__noop(TagBase);} while((0,0) __pragma(warning(pop )) );
return ((DWORD)((TagBase) + ((Tag) << 18)));
}
You may look for description of __pragma and __noop constructions in MSDN. The next points are
important for our program: a) they are not of interest for us; b) they have some parameters; c) they
impede code analysis.
Let's add new lexemes at first, as it was told before, but now let's use InitializeOtherKeywords() function
for this purpose:
static void InitializeOtherKeywords(bool recognizeO ccExtensions)
{
...
verify(Lex::RecordKeyword("__pragma", MSPRAGMA));
verify(Lex::RecordKeyword("__noop", MS__NOOP));
...
}
Solution consists in modifying Lex::ReadToken function so that when we come across with DECLSPEC or
MSPRAGMA lexeme we skip it. And then we skip all the lexemes related to __pragma and __noop
parameters. For skipping all the unnecessary lexemes we use SkipDeclspecToken() function as it is
shown further.
ptrdiff_t Lex::ReadToken(char*& ptr, ptrdiff_t& len )
{
...
else if(t == DECLSPEC){
SkipDeclspecToken();
continue;
}
else if(t == MSPRAGMA) { // NEW
SkipDeclspecToken();
continue;
}
else if(t == MS__NOOP) { //NEW
SkipDeclspecToken();
continue;
}
...
}
4. Function of full file paths disclosure In tasks of analysis of original code a large amount of functionality is related to creation of error
messages and also to navigation on original files. What is inconvenient is that file names returned by
such functions as Program::LineNumber() may be presented in different ways. Here are some examples:
C:\\Program Files\\MSVS 8\\VC\\atlmfc\\include\\afx .h
.\\drawing.cpp
c:\\src\\wxwindows-2.4.2\\samples\\drawing\\wx/defs .h
Boost\\boost-1_33_1\\boost/variant/recursive_varian t.hpp
..\\FieldEdit2\\Src\\amsEdit.cpp
..\\..\\..\\src\\base\\ftbase.c
The way may be full or relative. Different delimiters may be used. All this makes the use of such ways
inconvenient for processing or for output in information messages. That's why we offer realization of
FixFileName() function bringing paths to uniform full way. An auxiliary function GetInputFileDirectory() is
used to return the path to the catalogue where the processed file is situated.
const string &GetInputFileDirectory() {
static string oldInputFileName;
static string fileDirectory;
string dir;
VivaConfiguration &cfg = VivaConfiguration::Insta nce();
string inputFileName;
cfg.GetInputFileName(inputFileName);
if (oldInputFileName == inputFileName)
return fileDirectory;
oldInputFileName = inputFileName;
filesystem::path inputFileNamePath(inputFileName, filesystem::native);
fileDirectory = inputFileNamePath.branch_path().s tring();
if (fileDirectory.empty()) {
TCHAR curDir[MAX_PATH];
if (GetCurrentDirectory(MAX_PATH, curDir) != 0) {
fileDirectory = curDir;
} else {
assert(false);
}
}
algorithm::replace_all(fileDirectory, "/", "\\");
to_lower(fileDirectory);
return fileDirectory;
}
typedef map<string, string> StrStrMap;
typedef StrStrMap::iterator StrStrMapIt;
void FixFileName(string &fileName) {
static StrStrMap FileNamesMap;
StrStrMapIt it = FileNamesMap.find(fileName);
if (it != FileNamesMap.end()) {
fileName = it->second;
return;
}
string oldFileName = fileName;
algorithm::replace_all(fileName, "/", "\\");
algorithm::replace_all(fileName, "\\\\", "\\");
filesystem::path tmpPath(fileName, filesystem::na tive);
fileName = tmpPath.string();
algorithm::replace_all(fileName, "/", "\\");
to_lower(fileName);
if (fileName.length() < 2) {
assert(false);
FileNamesMap.insert(make_pair(oldFileName, file Name));
return;
}
if (fileName[0] == '.' && fileName[1] != '.') {
const string &dir = GetInputFileDirectory();
if (!dir.empty())
fileName.replace(0, 1, dir);
FileNamesMap.insert(make_pair(oldFileName, file Name));
return;
}
if (isalpha(fileName[0]) && fileName[1] == ':' ) {
FileNamesMap.insert(make_pair(oldFileName, file Name));
return;
}
const string &dir = GetInputFileDirectory();
if (dir.empty())
fileName.insert(0, ".\\");
else {
fileName.insert(0, "\\");
fileName.insert(0, dir);
}
FileNamesMap.insert(make_pair(oldFileName, fileNa me));
}
5. Getting values of numerical literals The function of getting a value of a numerical literal may be useful in systems of building documentation
on the code. For example, with its help one may see that the argument of "void foo(a = 99)" function is
99 and use this for some purpose.
GetLiteralType() function that we offer allows to get the literal type and its value if it is integer.
GetLiteralType() function is created for getting information needed most often and doesn't support
rarely used record types. But if you need to support UCNs for example or get values of double type, you
may expand functionality of the functions given below by yourself.

6. Correction of string literal processing function We offer you to modify Lex::ReadStrConst() function as it is shown further. This will allow to correct two
errors related to processing of separated string literals. The first error occurs while processing strings of
the following kind:
const char *name = "Viva\
Core";
The second:
const wchar_t *str = L"begin"L"end".
The corrected function variant:
bool Lex::ReadStrConst(size_t top, bool isWcharStr)
{
char c;
for(;;){
c = file->Get();
if(c == '\\'){
c = file->Get();
// Support: "\"
if (c == '\r') {
c = file->Get();
if (c != '\n')
return false;
} else if(c == '\0')
return false;
}
else if(c == '"</str>'){
size_t pos = file->GetCurPos() + 1;
ptrdiff_t nline = 0;
do{
c = file->Get();
if(c == '\n')
++nline;
} while(is_blank(c) || c == '\n');
if (isWcharStr && c == 'L') {
//Support: L"123" L"456" L "789".
c = file->Get();
if(c == '"')
/* line_number += nline; */ ;
else{
file->Unget();
return false;
}
} else {
if(c == '"')
/* line_number += nline; */ ;
else{
token_len = ptrdiff_t(pos - top);
file->Rewind(pos);
return true;
}
}
}
else if(c == '\n' || c == '\0')
return false;
}
}
7. Partial correction of the processing of "bool r = a < 1 || b > (int) 2;"
type expressions There is an error in OpenC++ related to the processing of some expressions which are wrongly taken for
templates. For example, in a string "bool r = a < 1 || b > (int) 2;" "a" variable will be taken for a template
name and then a lot of troubles with syntactical analysis will follow... Full correction of this error
requires great changes and is not realized by now. We offer you a temporary solution excluding the
major part of errors. Further the functions are given which may be added or modified.
bool VivaParser::MaybeTypeNameOrClassTemplate(Token &token) {
if (m_env == NULL) {
return true;

obviously not a template because only a type or a constant
expression may stay inside the brackets .

Unfortunately, the following expression is processed incorrectly now,
but such cases are fewer than corrected ones.

return false;
}

return bool(t == Scope || t == '(');
}

}
8. Improved error correction Unfortunately, the error correction mechanism in OpenC++ sometimes causes program crash. Problem
places in OpenC++ are the code similar to this:
if(!rDefinition(def)){
if(!SyntaxError())
return false;
SkipTo('}');
lex->GetToken(cp); // WARNING: crash in the same case.
body = PtreeUtil::List(new Leaf(op), 0, new Leaf( cp));
return true;
}
One should pay attention to those places where the processing of errors occurs and correct them the
way shown by the example of Parser::rLinkageBody() and Parser::SyntaxError() functions. The general
sense of the corrections is that after an error occurs, at first presence of the next lexeme should be
checked with the use of CanLookAhead() function instead of immediate extraction of it by using
GetToken,().
bool Parser::rLinkageBody(Ptree*& body)
{
Token op, cp;
Ptree* def;
if(lex->GetToken(op) != '{')
return false;
body = 0;
while(lex->LookAhead(0) != '}'){
if(!rDefinition(def)){
if(!SyntaxError())
return false; // too many errors
if (lex->CanLookAhead(1)) {
SkipTo('}');
lex->GetToken(cp);
if (!lex->CanLookAhead(0))
return false;
} else {
return false;
}
body =
PtreeUtil::List(new (GC) Leaf(op), 0,
new (GC) Leaf(cp));
return true; // error re covery
}
body = PtreeUtil::Snoc(body, def);
}
lex->GetToken(cp);
body = new (GC)
PtreeBrace(new (GC) Leaf(op), body, new (GC) Leaf(cp));
return true;
}
bool Parser::SyntaxError()
{
syntaxErrors_ = true;
Token t, t2;
if (lex->CanLookAhead(0)) {
lex->LookAhead(0, t);
} else {
lex->LookAhead(-1, t);
}
if (lex->CanLookAhead(1)) {
lex->LookAhead(1, t2);
} else {
t2 = t;
}
SourceLocation location(GetSourceLocation(*this , t.ptr));
string token(t2.ptr, t2.len);
errorLog_.Report(ParseErrorMsg(location, token) );
return true;
}
9. Update of rTemplateDecl2 function Without going into details we offer you to replace rTemplateDecl2() function with the given variant. This
will exclude some errors while working with template classes.
bool Parser::rTemplateDecl2(Ptree*& decl,
TemplateDeclKind &kind)
{
Token tk;
Ptree *args = 0;
if(lex->GetToken(tk) != TEMPLATE)
return false;
if(lex->LookAhead(0) != '<') {
if (lex->LookAhead(0) == CLASS) {
// template instantiation
decl = 0;
kind = tdk_instantiation;
return true; // ignore TEMPLATE
}
decl = new (GC)
PtreeTemplateDecl(new (GC) LeafReserved(tk) );
} else {
decl = new (GC)
PtreeTemplateDecl(new (GC) LeafReserved(tk) );
if(lex->GetToken(tk) != '<')
return false;
decl = PtreeUtil::Snoc(decl, new (GC) Leaf(tk ));
if(!rTempArgList(args))
return false;
if(lex->GetToken(tk) != '>')
return false;
}
decl =
PtreeUtil::Nconc(decl,
PtreeUtil::List(args, new (GC) Leaf(tk)));
// ignore nested TEMPLATE
while (lex->LookAhead(0) == TEMPLATE) {
lex->GetToken(tk);
if(lex->LookAhead(0) != '<')
break;
lex->GetToken(tk);
if(!rTempArgList(args))
return false;
if(lex->GetToken(tk) != '>')
return false;
}
if (args == 0)
// template < > declaration
kind = tdk_specialization;
else
// template < ... > declaration
kind = tdk_decl;
return true;
}
10. Detection of Ptree position in the program text In some cases it is necessary to know in what places of the program text there is the code from which a
particular Ptree object was built.
The function given below returns the address of the beginning and the end of memory space with the
text of the program from which the mentioned Ptree object was created.
void GetPtreePos(const Ptree *p, const char *&begin ,
const char *&end) {
if (p == NULL)
return;
if (p->IsLeaf()) {
const char *pos = p->GetLeafPosition();
if (begin == NULL) {
begin = pos;
} else {
begin = min(begin, pos);
}
end = max(end, pos);
}
else {
GetPtreePos(p->Car(), begin, end);
GetPtreePos(p->Cdr(), begin, end);
}
}
11. Support of const A (a) type definitions OpenC++ library doesn't support definition of variables of "const A (a)" type. To correct this defect a part
of the code should be changed inside Parser::rOtherDeclaration function:
if(!rDeclarators(decl, type_encode, false))
return false;
Instead of it the following code should be used:
if(!rDeclarators(decl, type_encode, false)) {
// Support: const A (a);
Lex::TokenIndex after_rDeclarators = lex->Save();
lex->Restore(before_rDeclarators);
if (lex->CanLookAhead(3) && lex->CanLookAhead(-2) ) {
ptrdiff_t c_2 = lex->LookAhead(-2);
ptrdiff_t c_1 = lex->LookAhead(-1);
ptrdiff_t c0 = lex->LookAhead(0);
ptrdiff_t c1 = lex->LookAhead(1);
ptrdiff_t c2 = lex->LookAhead(2);
ptrdiff_t c3 = lex->LookAhead(3);
if (c_2 == CONST && c_1 == Identifier &&
c0 == '(' && c1 == Identifier && c2 == ')' &&
(c3 == ';' || c3 == '='))
{
Lex::TokenContainer newEmptyContainer;
ptrdiff_t pos = before_rDeclarators;
lex->ReplaceTokens(pos + 2, pos + 3, newEmpty Container);
lex->ReplaceTokens(pos + 0, pos + 1, newEmpty Container);
lex->Restore(before_rDeclarators - 2);
bool res = rDeclaration(statement);
return res;
}
}
}
In this code some auxiliary functions are used which are not discussed in this article. But you can find
them in VivaCore library.
12. Support of definitions in classes of T (min)() { } type functions Sometimes while programming one has to use workarounds to reach the desirable result. For example,
a widely known macro "max" often causes troubles while defining in a class a method of "T max()
{return m;}" type. In this case one resorts to some tricks and define the method as "T (max)() {return
m;}". Unfortunately, OpenC++ doesn't understand such definitions inside classes. To correct this defect
Parser::isConstructorDecl() function should be changed in the following way:
bool Parser::isConstructorDecl()
{
if(lex->LookAhead(0) != '(')
return false;
else{
// Support: T (min)() { }
if (lex->LookAhead(1) == Identifier &&
lex->LookAhead(2) == ')' &&
lex->LookAhead(3) == '(')
return false;
ptrdiff_t t = lex->LookAhead(1);
if(t == '*' || t == '&' || t == '(')
return false; // declarator
else if(t == CONST || t == VOLATILE)
return true; // constructor or d eclarator
else if(isPtrToMember(1))
return false; // declarator (::*)
else
return true; // maybe constructo r
}
}
13. Processing of constructions "using" and "namespace" inside
functions OpenC++ library doesn't know that inside functions "using" and "namespace" constructions may be
used. But one can easily correct it by modifying Parser::rStatement() function:
bool Parser::rStatement(Ptree*& st)
{
...
case USING :
return rUsing(st);
case NAMESPACE :
if (lex->LookAhead(2) == '=')
return rNamespaceAlias(st);
return rExprStatement(st);
...
}
14. Making "this" a pointer As it is known "this" is a pointer. But it's not so in OpenC++. That's why we should correct
Walker::TypeofThis() function to correct the error of type identification.
Replace the code
void Walker::TypeofThis(Ptree*, TypeInfo& t)
{
t.Set(env->LookupThis());
}
with
void Walker::TypeofThis(Ptree*, TypeInfo& t)
{
t.Set(env->LookupThis());
t.Reference();
}
15. Optimization of LineNumber() function We have already mentioned Program::LineNumber() function when saying that it returns file names in
different formats. Then we offered FixFileName() function to correct this situation. But LineNumber()
function has one more disadvantage related to its slow working speed. That's why we offer you an
optimized variant of LineNumber() function.
/*
LineNumber() returns the line number of the line
pointed to by PTR.
*/
size_t Program::LineNumber(const char* ptr,
const char*& filename,
ptrdiff_t& filename_leng th,
const char *&beginLinePt r) const
{
beginLinePtr = NULL;
ptrdiff_t n;
size_t len;
size_t name;
ptrdiff_t nline = 0;
size_t pos = ptr - buf;
size_t startPos = pos;
if(pos > size){
// error?
assert(false);
filename = defaultname.c_str();
filename_length = defaultname.length();
beginLinePtr = buf;
return 0;
}
ptrdiff_t line_number = -1;
filename_length = 0;
while(pos > 0){
if (pos == oldLineNumberPos) {
line_number = oldLineNumber + nline;
assert(!oldFileName.empty());
filename = oldFileName.c_str();
filename_length = oldFileName.length();
assert(oldBeginLinePtr != NULL);
if (beginLinePtr == NULL)
beginLinePtr = oldBeginLinePtr;
oldBeginLinePtr = beginLinePtr;
oldLineNumber = line_number;
oldLineNumberPos = startPos;
return line_number;
}
switch(buf[--pos]) {
case '\n' :
if (beginLinePtr == NULL)
beginLinePtr = &(buf[pos]) + 1;
++nline;
break;
case '#' :
len = 0;
n = ReadLineDirective(pos, -1, name, len) ;
if(n >= 0){ // unless #pr agma
if(line_number < 0) {
line_number = n + nline;
}
if(len > 0 && filename_length == 0){
filename = (char*)Read(name);
filename_length = len;
}
}
if(line_number >= 0 && filename_length > 0) {
oldLineNumberPos = pos;
oldBeginLinePtr = beginLinePtr;
oldLineNumber = line_number;
oldFileName = std::string(filename,
filename_leng th);
return line_number;
}
break;
}
}
if(filename_length == 0){
filename = defaultname.c_str();
filename_length = defaultname.length();
oldFileName = std::string(filename,
filename_length);
}
if (line_number < 0) {
line_number = nline + 1;
if (beginLinePtr == NULL)
beginLinePtr = buf;
oldBeginLinePtr = beginLinePtr;
oldLineNumber = line_number;
oldLineNumberPos = startPos;
}
return line_number;
}
16. Correction of the error occurring while analyzing "#line" directive In some cases Program::ReadLineDirective() function glitches taking irrelevant text for "#line" directive.
The corrected variant of the function looks as follows:
ptrdiff_t Program::ReadLineDirective(size_t i,
ptrdiff_t line_number,
size_t& filename, size_t& filename_length) const
{
char c;
do{
c = Ref(++i);
} while(is_blank(c));
#if defined(_MSC_VER) || defined(IRIX_CC)
if(i + 5 <= GetSize() &&
strncmp(Read(i), "line ", 5) == 0) {
i += 4;
do{
c = Ref(++i);
}while(is_blank(c));
} else {
return -1;
}
#endif
if(is_digit(c)){ /* # <line> <file> */
unsigned num = c - '0';
for(;;){
c = Ref(++i);
if(is_digit(c))
num = num * 10 + c - '0';
else
break;
}
/* line_number'll be incremented soon */
line_number = num - 1;
if(is_blank(c)){
do{
c = Ref(++i);
}while(is_blank(c));
if(c == '"'){
size_t fname_start = i;
do{
c = Ref(++i);
} while(c != '"');
if(i > fname_start + 2){
filename = fname_start;
filename_length = i - fname_sta rt + 1;
}
}
}
}
return line_number;
}
Conclusion Of course, this article covers only a small part of possible improvements. But we hope that they will be
useful for developers while using OpenC++ library and will become examples of how one can specialize
the library for one's own tasks.
We'd like to remind you once more that the improvements shown in this article and many other
corrections can be found in VivaCore library's code. VivaCore library may be more convenient for many
tasks than OpenC++.
