| 3 | + | Building a symbol table using Python's dictionary data structure for a small language compiler involves several | |
| 4 | + | steps. The symbol table will be used to keep track of variables, their types, and scopes during the compilation | |
| 5 | + | process. Here's how you can implement it: | |
| 6 | + | ||
| 7 | + | 1. Define basic classes | |
| 8 | + | Firstly, create two essential classes - `Symbol` and `Scope`. | |
| 9 | + | ```python | |
| 10 | + | class Symbol: | |
| 11 | + | def __init__(self, name, symbol_type): | |
| 12 | + | self.name = name | |
| 13 | + | self.symbol_type = symbol_type | |
| 14 | + | ||
| 15 | + | class Scope: | |
| 16 | + | def __init__(self, parent=None): | |
| 17 | + | self.parent = parent | |
| 18 | + | self.scopes = [] # list of symbols in this scope | |
| 19 | + | ``` | |
| 20 | + | 2. Initialize the global symbol table | |
| 21 | + | Create a class `SymbolTable` which will manage all scopes and keep track of symbols globally using Python's | |
| 22 | + | dictionary data structure. | |
| 23 | + | ```python | |
| 24 | + | class SymbolTable: | |
| 25 | + | def __init__(self): | |
| 26 | + | self.symbols = {} # Key: symbol_name, Value: (Scope object) | |
| 27 | + | ``` | |
| 28 | + | 3. Add new symbols to the table | |
| 29 | + | Define a function `addSymbol` in `SymbolTable`, which adds symbols according to their scopes and types. This | |
| 30 | + | method ensures that overlapping names are handled gracefully by using the scope's parent as reference if | |
| 31 | + | necessary. | |
| 32 | + | ```python | |
| 33 | + | class SymbolTable: | |
| 34 | + | # ... existing code ... | |
| 35 | + | ||
| 36 | + | def addSymbol(self, symbol_name, symbol_type): | |
| 37 | + | current_scope = self.symbols.get(symbol_name) | |
| 38 | + | ||
| 39 | + | if not current_scope: # If the symbol doesn't exist in any scope yet, create it at global level | |
| 40 | + | new_scope = Scope() | |
| 41 | + | self.symbols[symbol_name] = (new_scope, SymbolType(symbol_type)) | |
| 42 | + | return new_scope | |
| 43 | + | ||
| 44 | + | # Else check if we are dealing with an inner symbol | |
| 45 | + | else: | |
| 46 | + | scope = current_scope[0] # parent Scope object | |
| 47 | + | ||
| 48 | + | while scope.parent and scope.name in self.symbols: # Check all parents until a free name is found | |
| 49 | + | scope = scope.parent | |
| 50 | + | ||
| 51 | + | if not scope.parent or scope.name not in self.symbols: # Add the symbol to current scope if there's | |
| 52 | + | no conflict with any parent scope | |
| 53 | + | new_scope = Scope(parent=scope) | |
| 54 | + | self.symbols[symbol_name] = (new_scope, SymbolType(symbol_type)) | |
| 55 | + | else: | |
| 56 | + | raise NameError('Symbol name already exists in this or one of the parent scopes') | |
| 57 | + | ``` | |
| 58 | + | 4. Retrieve symbols from the table | |
| 59 | + | Define a method `getSymbol` to retrieve symbols by their names according to their respective scope and type | |
| 60 | + | information. | |
| 61 | + | ```python | |
| 62 | + | class SymbolTable: | |
| 63 | + | # ... existing code ... | |
| 64 | + | ||
| 65 | + | def getSymbol(self, symbol_name): | |
| 66 | + | if symbol_name in self.symbols: | |
| 67 | + | return self.symbols[symbol_name] | |
| 68 | + | else: | |
| 69 | + | raise NameError('No such symbol') | |
| 70 | + | ``` | |
| 71 | + | ||
| 72 | + | With this implementation, you've created a basic symbol table using Python dictionaries that can track variables | |
| 73 | + | and their types for a small language compiler. You can extend it further by implementing methods to handle more | |
| 74 | + | complex scenarios like type inference or variable renaming during optimization stages of the compilation process. | |
