Hello!

I am guilty of any omissions in the NIST-SIP parser. If you find that there
are cases that are not correctly handled, I urge you to bring it to our
attention (via the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list).

As written in the RFC, the grammar is not context free. Perhaps it can be
converted to be context free by handling keywords in the "action" part of a
rule. As written in the RFC, keywords are context sensitive. That is why the
NIST-SIP parser keeps switching lexical analyzers.

Clearly the NIST-SIP parser is an existence proof of the correctness your
assessment (I exist, therefore I am).

Thanks for using it and I hope you will report bugs.

Regards,


Ranga.

Subject: [Sip-implementors] question about SIP grammar


All,

>From what I understand, the SIP grammar is pretty
much a context-free grammar and can be captured in
lex/yacc or antlr. The NIST SIP parser in java uses
antlr.
Or  does the NIST parser leave something out? Have you

had any experience with the NIST SIP parser?

I am new to SIP but having looked at the grammar very
briefly, my esitmation is that one can use a parser
generator and not have to 'hand-write' the code to do
the parsing.

Am I correct in my assesment?

Regards,
Ganesh
