Re: ASN.1 Specification
Thanks All,
Your points are well taken. But I beg another moment's indulgence...
IMPORTS A, B, C FROM ModuleA foobar , -- this comma makes foobar
d, e, f FROM ModuleB; -- part of SymbolList
-- vs
IMPORT A, B, C FROM ModuleA foobar -- more appealing to the eye?
IMPORT d, e, f FROM ModuleB;
This could be achieved without breaking any existing specifications...
ModuleBody ::=
Exports Imports AssignmentList |
Exports ImportList AssignmentList | -- new
empty
ImportList ::=
ToeJamFootball ";" |
empty
ToeJamFootball ::=
ImportStmt |
ImportList ImportStmt
ImportStmt ::=
IMPORT SymbolList FROM GlobalModuleReference
which, of course, is LR(1) and can be parsed by any college sophomore.
It essentially unrolls SymbolFromModuleList into a list of IMPORT statements and might
be more familiar to the Internet techies.
Then, out with the old, in with the new!
Now, what about the other 99?
