Special thanks to our newest maintainers, Daniel Burgener and Patrick LaFontaine for helping to coordinate this release.
- Lalrpop no longer depends on the
is-terminalcrate (thanks to Kmeakin!) - Better performance with the default lexer using the underlying
regex-automatacrate (thanks to QuarticCat!) - Allow the catch-all
_case for token matching can now be set to a higher precedence in match (thanks to fpoli!) - Fewer clippy lints triggered in generated code
- Lalrpop now traverses symlinks to find .lalrpop files(thanks mbid!)
- Lalrpop now supports block comments including nestings(thanks seanbright!)
- Lalrpop now uses the ascii-aware space regex when the unicode feature is not enabled (thanks to QuarticCat!)
- Dangling symlinks in crate no longer cause build failure (thanks to legeana for the report!)
- Unicode is now set as a default feature in lalrpop-util to align with lalrpop's defaults
- MSRV increased to
1.70. process_root_unconditionallynow correctly lints as having been deprecated.- Internal types which lead with a
__and should not be relied upon are no longer publicly exposed (thanks to arnaudgolfouse!) - Lalrpop files containing a space in their name now return an error.
Yanked
Bringing back 0.19.10 patches and further enhancement.
- Types and enums name with capitalized acronyms are renamed to camelCase
- Minimum rust supported version is now 1.64
- New
unicodefeature is added to enableregex/unicodeandregex-syntax/unicode. Building lalrpop with --no-default-features may be broken without adding it.
- faster compilation time by up to 2x
- expected tokens in failed parses are more accurate
- support for unicode when using builtin tokenizer
- fewer warnings about clippy/unused imports in generated code
- updated to edition 2021
- updated mdbook
- Use inclusive ranges for DFA/NFA
- A new document "Lexing raw delimited content"
- Add
unicodefeature toregex-syntax(thanks to Jan Niehusmann!)
This is actually not fixing a lalrpop bug but fixing user side missing dependency.
lalrpop doesn't directly depend on the feature. But regex from user code probably contains it.
We will drop this dependency again in the next release.
This release is based on 0.19.9, not 0.19.10 No feature added or other bug fixed since 0.19.9
- Fix regex version dependency issues (thanks to Wilfried Chauveau!)
Note: This version is yanked. These changes will be included in 0.20
This release fixes an incompatibility with regex.
- faster compilation time by up to 2x
- expected tokens in failed parses are more accurate
- support for unicode when using builtin tokenizer
- fix a compatibility issue with regex 1.8
- fewer warnings about clippy/unused imports in generated code
- updated to edition 2021
- updated mdbook
This release addresses backwards compatibility warnings and security alerts, along with a few smaller features.

Bugs fixed:

Compatibility notes:
- As part of making
ParseErrorimplementDisplay, the default error type changed from()to&'static str, so parse errors type may change fromlalrpop_util::ParseError<..., ()>tolalrpop_util::ParseError<..., &'static str>.

- We now support
#![..]attributes in.lalrpopfiles. - We now use lane table by default: since the lane table algorithm
automatically generates compressed tables where possible, the
#[LALR]attribute is still accepted, but has no effect.- If you encounter problems, please report bugs! In the meantime,
though, you can use the
LALRPOP_LANE_TABLE=disabledenvironment variable to change back.
- If you encounter problems, please report bugs! In the meantime,
though, you can use the
- When the
<>string is found within{}inside of an action, it now generates a series ofx: xpairs for each named valuex. This is useful for struct constants, since you can do something like:<a:Foo> <b:Bar> => MyStruct { <> }, ifMyStructhad two fields namedaandb. - We now support character literal patterns in the external tokenizer pattern syntax.
- The lalrpop executable now supports
--version. - We are (for now, at least) testing for compatibility with Rust 1.13. This minimal supported rustc version may change in the future, however.
- Misc bug fixes.

This is a bug release for LALRPOP. First, we have two major improvements to the generated lexer:
- The lexer now generates code that uses the
regexcrate. This results in far less code than the older style, and seems to preserve performance. - The lexer now supports custom priorities for regular expression tokens,
making it possible to support case-insensitive keywords.
- See the calculator2b example for details.
Second, we have a beta release of the new lane-table based
LR-table generation. Lane tables handle the full set of LR(1)
grammars but typically reduce much smaller state tables. This
feature eliminates the need to manually mark grammars as #[LALR].
Lane tables are not on by default; you can enable them by setting
LALRPOP_LANE_TABLE=enabled in your environment (use
std::env::set_var in your build.rs).
Finally, the lalrpop executable now has the ability to generate
standalone reports (--report).
Fixed bugs:
- Fix #157: We now recognize single quote (
') properly in our tokenizer. - Fix #179: Fix bug in recursive ascent code generation.

- Add the expected successor tokens to
UnrecognizedTokenerrors (thanks @Marwes!). - Fix to error recovery doing a bad cast (thanks @Marwes!).
Major new feature! @Marwes added support for error recovery.
There have also been a number of other improvements:
- The
ParseErrortype now implementsErrorandDisplay(thanks @Marwes!). - We no longer emit comments in generated code by default (thanks @Marwes!).
(Yanked due to minor backwards incompatibility.)
Bug fix release. Major bugs addressed:
Also, there is now a tutorial for writing custom lexers. Thanks @malleusinferni!.
Enabled a new table-driven code-generator by default. This generates less code than the older recursive-ascent-based generation scheme, but may parse less efficiently. To go back to the old scheme, annotate the grammar declaration:
#[recursive_ascent] grammar;
Also, the syntax for requesting LALR-generation has changed to use an annotation:
#[LALR] grammar;
We no longer emit module-level attributes, which means that unused imports in your .lalrpop file may start getting warnings. Thanks @dflemstr!
An overflow bug in LALRPOP was fixed. Thanks @larsluthman!
We no longer depend on time, but now use
std::time. Thanks @serprex!
There is now a Configuration object for use in your build.rs
scripts. And,
thanks to @dflemstr!,
it permits you to configure the directory where LALRPOP output is
generated.
Fixed a bug in the LALRPOP option parsing. Thanks @Nemikolh!
Various typos and small corrections. Thanks @reuben and @ashleygwilliams!
Updated to use the regex-syntax crate for regular expression
parsing instead of rolling our own parser. This means we can now
support the same regular expression syntax as the regex crate,
and in particular can support unicode character classes like \p{Greek}.
Note that some regex features -- such as non-greedy repetition and
named capture groups -- are still not supported (or just not meaningful).
Optimized LR(1) construction time by approximately 5x.
Improved handling of location tokens @L and @R so that they can be
freely used without ever causing parse conflicts.
Major update to LALRPOP error messages in cases of shift/reduce and reduce/reduce conflicts. The messages now try to explain the problem in terms of your grammar, as well as diagnosing common problem scenarios and suggesting solutions.
Added a standalone LALRPOP executable.
We no longer generate incomplete files when grammar generation fails (Issue #57).
Miscellaneous bug fixes, mostly. Processing for a build.rs file now
starts from the project directory, rather than being hardcoded to
start from src.
Add support for inlining nonterminals. Nonterminals can now be
annotated with #[inline]. If you do so, each use of the nonterminal
will be inlined into its place. This can be very helpful in addressing
shift-reduce or reduce-reduce conflicts, at the cost of a larger
grammar. We now inline Foo*, Foo?, and (Foo Bar) nonterminals by
default.
This is mostly a bug-fix release.
Various minor issues were addressed:
- Issue #25: Unbalanced parens in string literals appearing in code now work properly.
- Issue #32: Regular expression parsing consumed infinite memory when a
.appeared. - Issue #34: Automatic tokenizer generation did not play well with generic type parameters.
I hadn't yet started writing release notes, sorry.
