class RecursiveDescentParser(ParserI):

"""
|
||
|
A simple top-down CFG parser that parses texts by recursively
|
||
|
expanding the fringe of a Tree, and matching it against a
|
||
|
text.
|
||
|
|
||
|
``RecursiveDescentParser`` uses a list of tree locations called a
|
||
|
"frontier" to remember which subtrees have not yet been expanded
|
||
|
and which leaves have not yet been matched against the text. Each
|
||
|
tree location consists of a list of child indices specifying the
|
||
|
path from the root of the tree to a subtree or a leaf; see the
|
||
|
reference documentation for Tree for more information
|
||
|
about tree locations.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When the parser begins parsing a text, it constructs a tree
|
||
|
containing only the start symbol, and a frontier containing the
|
||
|
location of the tree's root node. It then extends the tree to
|
||
|
cover the text, using the following recursive procedure:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- If the frontier is empty, and the text is covered by the tree,
|
||
|
then return the tree as a possible parse.
|
||
|
- If the frontier is empty, and the text is not covered by the
|
||
|
tree, then return no parses.
|
||
|
- If the first element of the frontier is a subtree, then
|
||
|
use CFG productions to "expand" it. For each applicable
|
||
|
production, add the expanded subtree's children to the
|
||
|
frontier, and recursively find all parses that can be
|
||
|
generated by the new tree and frontier.
|
||
|
- If the first element of the frontier is a token, then "match"
|
||
|
it against the next token from the text. Remove the token
|
||
|
from the frontier, and recursively find all parses that can be
|
||
|
generated by the new tree and frontier.
