(* Module [Plexer]: a lexical analyzer *)
value make : unit -> Token.lexer;
(* Some lexer provided. See the module [Token]. The tokens returned
follow the Objective Caml and the Revised syntax lexing rules.
The meaning of the tokens are:
- * [("", s)] is the keyword [s].
- * [("LIDENT", s)] is the ident [s] starting with a lowercase letter.
- * [("UIDENT", s)] is the ident [s] starting with an uppercase letter.
- * [("INT", s)] is an integer constant whose string source is [s].
- * [("FLOAT", s)] is a float constant whose string source is [s].
- * [("STRING", s)] is the string constant [s].
- * [("CHAR", s)] is the character constant [s].
- * [("QUOTATION", "t:s")] is a quotation [t] holding the string [s].
- * [("ANTIQUOT", "t:s")] is an antiquotation [t] holding the string [s].
- * [("LOCATE", "i:s")] is a location directive at pos [i] holding [s].
- * [("EOI", "")] is the end of input.
The associated token patterns in the EXTEND statement hold the
same names than the first string (constructor name) of the tokens
expressions above.
The lexer do not use global (mutable) variables: instantiations
of [Plexer.make ()] do not perturb each other. *)
