Hmm, that was a typo actually, I intended to /* Apply Rule 7b */ .
I don't understand (in this and many other cases), why it would matter to
apply Rule 7a to the first ASSIGNMENT_WORD production. Why do we need to
apply rules that we know won't yield the token ID that is acceptable at
this point in the algorithm.
To illustrate this with an SSCCE, let's say this is the only token in the
input, and that comes from the Token Recognition section as TOKEN. Out of
all the productions in the grammar with WORD, NAME, ASSIGNMENT_WORD, or
reserved word, we need to decide which production to use. The algorithm
"somehow" (I am not concerned with that part of the algorithm) makes the
connection between start symbol "program" and these productions. Based on
that, the following productions are possible, which will be tried in the
order given:
pipeline: Bang pipe_sequence
fname: NAME /* Apply rule 8 */
until_clause: Until (...)
while_clause: While (...)
if_clause: If (...)
case_clause: Case (...)
for_clause: For (...)
brace_group : Lbrace compound_list Rbrace
cmd_name: WORD /* Apply rule 7a */
cmd_prefix: ASSIGNMENT_WORD /* Apply rule 7a as you say, or 7b, as I say
*/
For all the productions without the rule, rule 1 is implicit.
Let's say the token is "foobar". In this case, all the productions will
fail until we get to cmd_name. In particular, fname will fail because we
lookahead one token and do not see '(', but see end of input. During
application of rule 8, we do assign NAME to this token, but we cannot keep
that (as kre implies that is done) because then we could not accept that
once we get to cmd_name and.
So then we get to cmd_name , still have TOKEN and not NAME, apply rule 7a
and succeed. No need to go to cmd_prefix.
Now, let's say the token is "foobar=". As above, we get to cmd_name, apply
7a, direct to 7b, and fail to get WORD, so this production fails.
Then we go to cmd_prefix.
If it were as you say, we should first apply 7a, then we would have to
redirect to 7b, and succeed.
Then my point is, why not just start with 7b for the production
cmd_prefix: ASSIGNMENT_WORD
7a cannot succeed anyway in this case, other than by redirecting to 7b,
because rule 1 cannot yield ASSIGNMENT_WORD, why bother?
In fact, this is not just the case here, but in several other places in the
grammar, we apply rules or parts of rules, that will fail for sure.
For example,
in : In /*Apply Rule 6*/
Rule 6 for "for", differentiates between "In", "Do", and "WORD". Why
bother with "Do", it fails anyway. We should just apply another rule here,
that says, "yield In if it is exactly 'in', and WORD otherwise". This
would be faster than the current Rule 6b. Why not?

He has probably not taken into account the statement in 2.10.1 that "When a TOKEN is seen where one of those annotated productions could be used to reduce the symbol, the applicable rule shall be applied to convert the token identifier type of the TOKEN to a token identifier acceptable at that point in the grammar." Tokens are always initially either an operator, IO_NUMBER, or TOKEN. The only way to get an ASSIGNMENT_WORD token is to convert TOKEN to ASSIGNMENT_WORD by applying rule 7. Rule 1 is the only one that applies globally, so the only way to have rule 7 apply is via an annotation in the grammar (as per Section 2.10.1). Your suggestion was to add /* Apply Rule 7a */ to both productions, but I believe it should be 7a for the first and 7b for the second.

I believe the intent is that the parser attempt to match either a cmd_name or cmd_word, at which point 7a or 7b (resp) is applied, which may turn the WORD we started with into an ASSIGNMENT_WORD and cause the cmd_name or cmd_word production to fail (there is no longer a WORD) - backtracking goes back to simple command, which can now match cmd_prefix which did not applier earlier. Whether it is possible to make this work with any currently available parser generator is an irrelevant issue for current purposes.

[1003.1(2016)/Issue7+TC2 0001094]: Rule 7a is needed to apply to ASSIGNMENT_WORD productions
The following issue has been SUBMITTED. == http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1094 == Reported By:Mark_Galeck Assigned To: == Project:1003.1(2016)/Issue7+TC2 Issue ID: 1094 Category: Shell and Utilities Type: Error Severity: Editorial Priority: normal Status: New Name: Mark Galeck Organization: User Reference: Section:2.10.2 Shell Grammar Rules Page Number:2380 Line Number:76105-76106 Interp Status: --- Final Accepted Text: == Date Submitted: 2016-10-18 12:19 UTC Last Modified: 2016-10-18 12:19 UTC == Summary:Rule 7a is needed to apply to ASSIGNMENT_WORD productions Description: Since the lexer section "Token Recognition" does not yield "ASSIGNMENT_WORD" identifier, but only "TOKEN", section 2.10.1 is applied, using commented actions in Grammar productions, to assign identifiers. However, for the two productions involving "ASSIGNMENT_WORD", no such action is specified. One can perhaps assume, that in such a case, the specified identifier is the only one that "TOKEN" can turn to in that specific point in the Bison LALR(1) algorithm. That is in fact, how I understand the lack of comment actions with some cases of "WORD" identifier (and so I don't make another report on that topic). However, in this particular case, that does not work either: one cannot assume that at this point in the parsing process, only "ASSIGNMENT_WORD" must result. So it is necessary to make a comment action " /* Apply Rule 7a */ Desired Action: Add comment action: /* Apply Rule 7a */ to each of the two productions involving ASSIGNMENT_WORD. == Issue History Date ModifiedUsername FieldChange == 2016-10-18 12:19 Mark_GaleckNew Issue 2016-10-18 12:19 Mark_GaleckName => Mark Galeck 2016-10-18 12:19 Mark_GaleckSection => 2.10.2 Shell Grammar Rules 2016-10-18 12:19 Mark_GaleckPage Number => 2380 2016-10-18 12:19 Mark_GaleckLine Number => 76105-76106 ==
