+ \frametitle{\textsc{SPL}}
+ \framesubtitle{Acronym for: \textsc{SPL}: Parser and Lexer}
+ \begin{block}{Features}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Implementation language:
+ Clean ({\tiny\url{http://clean.cs.ru.nl}})
+ \pause
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Pure language
+ \item Higher order functions
+ \item Monads
+ \item Using parser combinator library \textsc{Yard}
+ \end{itemize}
+ \pause
+ \item Positional data available for easy locating of errors.
+ \pause
+ \item Standardized parser errors. This means you can set it as
+ \texttt{buildprg} in \texttt{vim} and you can then use the
+ quickfix window!
+ \end{itemize}

+ \frametitle{\textsc{YARD}}
+ \framesubtitle{A minimal home grown monadic parser combinator library}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Inspired by \textsc{parsec}: $1pc=3.375\cdot10^{16}yd$~\footnote{
+ A yard is exactly $36$ inch and an inch is exactly the length
+ of $3$ barleycorns}.
+ \item Definitons:
+ \begin{lstlisting}
+:: Error = PositionalError Int Int String | Error String
+:: Parser a b = Parser ([a] -> (Either Error b, [a]))
+ \end{lstlisting}
+ \pause
+ \item Matches longest left-most parser
+ \pause
+ \item Stops immediately on error\pause\\
+ By design!
+ \end{itemize}

+\section{Design choices}
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Adapting the grammar}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Remove left recursion
+ \item Fixing associativity
+ \item Added small features such as escape characters \texttt{
+ \textbackslash n\textbackslash b}
+ \pause
+ \item Show grammar now\ldots
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Two-phase design}
+ \framesubtitle{Lexing}
+ Also done with \textsc{YARD} because
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Multiline comments
+ \item Alternatives
+ \item Positions
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+ \frametitle{Two-phase design}
+ \framesubtitle{Parsing}
+ Added some handy primitives
+ \begin{lstlisting}
+parseBlock :: Parser Token [Stmt]
+
+parseOpR :: (Parser Token Op2) (Parser Token Expr) -> Parser Token Expr
+parseOpL :: (Parser Token Op2) (Parser Token Expr) -> Parser Token Expr
+
+trans2 :: TokenValue (TokenValue -> a) -> Parser Token a
+trans1 :: TokenValue a -> Parser Token a
+
+peekPos :: Parser Token Pos

+\section{Examples}
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Wierd inputs}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \pause Heap full
+ \pause\ldots Increase heap\\
+ \texttt{\$ ./spl -h 2000M}
+ \item \pause Stack full
+ \pause\ldots Increase stack\\
+ \texttt{\$ ./spl -s 200M}
+ \item \pause Segmentation fault
+ \pause\ldots Enable memory overcommitting\\
+ \texttt{\# echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit\_memory}
+ \item \pause Still segmentation fault
+ \pause\ldots Buy more \textsc{RAM}
+ \item \pause Still segmentation fault?
+ \pause\ldots Divide into modules and parse separatly~\footnote{To be
+ implemented}
+ \item \pause Thus, we are only limited by hardware\ldots

+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Learned lessons}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \pause Parser combinators are elegant!
+ \item \pause Positional errors are a must!
