Re: Parser theory resources

Joeri,


I assume you are talking about visitor PATTERN.
The visitor pattern is not directly used for parsing the data.
It may be used to traverse the syntax tree that is created by the parser.


E.g., for a specific application, I've once implemented a verilog parser
in C++: each class parsed itself and created in this way a syntax tree of the
given verilog data.
For linking the syntax tree (resolving names) and for semantic checks,
I employed the visitor pattern.


Not a theoretical explanation, though ;-)
