Thanks for your time!
I'm not sure I understand, but I want to. My current plan is to store my
grammar in one or more files. For each test battery, I'll load the entire
grammar, and each test will specify its top level rule and provide strings
that it expects to match or not. Something like the following.
# read in the grammar
my $rules;
{ ... } # fill $rules with the file contents
# test 0: identifier
if (1) {
my $cur_rules = ":start ::= identifier\n" + $rules;
my $grammar = ...;
...
}
# test 1: operator
if (1) {
my $cur_rules = ":start ::= operator\n" + $rules;
my $grammar = ...;
...
}
This sounds what you warn against, but it feels like I'll end up with a
good test suite. Can you help me understand?
