(* An ocamlyacc-style, or Menhir-style, parser requires access to
   the lexer, which must be parameterized with a lexing buffer, and
   to the lexing buffer itself, where it reads position information. *)

(* This traditional API is convenient when used with ocamllex, but
   inelegant when used with other lexer generators. *)

type ('token, 'semantic_value) traditional =
    (Lexing.lexbuf -> 'token) -> Lexing.lexbuf -> 'semantic_value

(* This revised API is independent of any lexer generator. Here, the
   parser only requires access to the lexer, and the lexer takes no
   parameters. The tokens returned by the lexer may contain position
   information. *)

(* Converting a traditional parser, produced by ocamlyacc or Menhir,
   into a revised parser. *)

(* A token of the revised lexer is essentially a triple of a token
   of the traditional lexer (or raw token), a start position, and
   and end position. The three [get] functions are accessors. *)

(* We do not require the type ['token] to actually be a triple type.
   This enables complex applications where it is a record type with
   more three fields. It also enables simple applications where
   positions are of no interest, so ['token] is just ['raw_token]
   and [get_startp] and [get_endp] return dummy positions. *)
