I just finished a parsec grammar for C99, and found this very useful
while bringing it up:
mtrace_enabled = False
mtrace n p = if mtrace_enabled then
trace ("-> trying to match: " ++ n)
$ choice [do {a <- p; return (trace ("<-
matched: " ++ n ++ "(" ++ show a ++ ")") a)},
fail ("<- failed to match " ++ n)]
else
p
Usage:
expression = mtrace "expression"
(do {a <- chainl1 assignment_expression comma_op; return a})
Oh, and hello-and-delurk :)
