Hi,
in my experiences this is the easiest way to parse expressions:
main-expression = pre-primary-expression primary-expression post-primary-expression
pre-primary-expression - mostly unary operators, new operator, etc.
primary-expression - identifiers, keywords (e.g. this/true/null), expression in brackets, etc.
post-primary-expression - function calls, array item access, ++/--, etc.
expression = main-expression (binary-operator main-expression)*
As you can see, no inifite recursion here.
If you want to include precedence, create an expression for each precedence level. If you only have '+' and '*' operators, you get something like this:
multiplicative_expr = expr ('*' multiplicative_expr | )
additive_expr = expr ('*' multiplicative_expr | '+' additive_expr | )

Tárgy: [pcre-dev] Need help with implementing a parser (binary operators) - pcre2

Hello,
First and foremost I want to thank you all developers for your amazing work
- it's really astonishing how all this does complex things without much
effort. Well actually effort is needed but it's definitely better than
writing a parser by hand.
Anyway so I've created some sort of C parser with your library that for the
moment handles unary and cast operators very well.
However I wanted to add binary ones too - currently for some reason this:
(?<addition>(?&addition)(\+\d)|\d)
Inhibits recursive loop. It's basically the exact same way it's written in
the standard - the idea is that the left hand side can contain infinite
times itself until it contains the right hand side.
My target is basically if I have multiple binary operators, with using
callouts in the right place, to get the operators in the right order, for
example if I have:
6 + 7 * 8 to give:
6
7
8
*
+
Because of priority. I basically had something going but I'm completely
rehauling it now (primarily because it wasn't working properly with
assignment).
Here is my github project <

Thank you so much.
Happy holidays,
Alexander NIkolov
