Chapter 4:Syntax Analysis

Sets of items

C : Collection of sets of LR(0) items for grammar G'

C = { closure ( { S' .S } ) }

repeat

for each set of items I in C

and each grammar symbol X

such that goto (I,X) is not empty and not in C

ADD goto(I,X) to C

until no more additions

We are now ready to give an algorithm to construct C, the canonical collection of sets of LR(0) items for an augmented grammar G'; the algorithm is as shown below:

C = { closure ( { S' .S } ) }

repeat

for each set of items I in C and each grammar symbol X

such that goto (I,X) is not empty and not in C do

ADD goto(I,X) to C

until no more sets of items can be added to C
