Windows based Parser

[Muzaffar Hameed]

Hi All!

I need to parse a piece Ruby source code file. For that purpose, I need
a Ruby parser (which can be used on windows plateform). I tried to
configure ruby_parser 1.0, but I am unable to configure it on windows
XP, as it is depending upon RACC parser, which can be installed in unix
operating system. Any simple to use Ruby parse will be a great help.

Thanks in advance to ALL.

ParseTree comes precompiled for windows, is faster, and does the exact
same thing as ruby_parser.

If you're truly adventurous you could try to download the win32 mingw
sandbox
http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Mingw
and then install a mingw version of RACC.
Good luck with that.

Hi Daniel!

Thanks for helping me. I am able to install ParseTree on my windows
system. Further, it also requirs RubyInline, so I also installed it. But
I am still unable to run a simple example of parse tree so far.

I read in it documentations that

def conditional1(arg1)
if arg1 == 0 then
return 1
end
return 0
end

becomes:

[:defn,
:conditional1,
[:scope,
[:block,
[:args, :arg1],
[:if,
[:call, [:lvar, :arg1], :==, [:array, [:lit, 0]]],
[:return, [:lit, 1]],
nil],
[:return, [:lit, 0]]]]]

But how can I get this output. I am unable to do so. Actually I am
farely new to Ruby & specially parsing. Further, I have to run this
parser on Rails but no way yet. I am not able to run a simple example of
parsetree. I study much material about parsing but donot have a clue
that how to get the above output of the source file. I will be very
thankful,if you can guide me with a very simple example how to use
parsetree to get above output. I am waiting your kind reply.
