Explore a comprehensive conference talk on Maphoon, a C++ based parser generator, presented by Hans de Nivelle at CppNow 2022. Delve into the intricacies of this tool designed for creating parsers in C++, written in C++17. Learn about the parsing process in compiler construction and how Maphoon automatically builds bottom-up parsers from grammar descriptions. Discover the unique feature of defining regular expressions directly in C++ code, offering maximum flexibility without the need to learn new syntax. Examine real-world examples from an actual compiler project and understand how Maphoon supports run-time resolution of shift/reduce conflicts, enabling language extension at runtime. Gain insights from de Nivelle's extensive background in automated theorem proving, compiler construction, and programming language development across various academic institutions.
