Strings and Variable

So far we've added lots of stack operations and a couple I/O routines with the KEY and EMIT keywords. At the moment if we wanted to write a simple "Hello World" application we would need to place each character on the stack and pop them off using the EMIT keyword. This is messy and bit difficult to manage in a larger program. What we need is a way to store strings somewhere and then a way to tell our language where to find the string we wish to manipulate. So how can we do this?

Well, a simple straight-forward solution would be to place all strings in a string table. A string table is an area of memory where we store the strings. Then we need to tell our language how to find the string. In a compiled version of a Stack-Oriented language, we would use a pointer to the string, passing its address via the stack to any method that needed to manipulate the string. In an interpreted version of the language, we only need to pass an index into our list of strings. Sounds pretty easy, right? Well, it's a bit more complicated. When the parser encounters a string we will need to store it in the string table and then place the string's address (index) onto the stack. Since managing the string table is a bit more work than we want the parser to do, and in keeping with the Single Responsibility Principle, we will create a StringTable class to keep track of the strings and their addresses.

Our string table class will need a list to store strings into, a save method that will return the index of the string in the table. A get method to get the string by index and a length method to return the length of the string.

Our strings will need to store two peices of data. The actual string (value) and it's length. So we have to determine if we will return the object containing this information of just the printable string contents. I opted to provide methods for both. The get(idx) method will return the string data object while the get_string(idx) method will extract the string contents and return only the printable string.

Ok, it's time to see what this StringTable class looks like:

# string_table.py

class StringTable:

    def __init__(self):
        self.data = []

    # Insert string and meta data into string list
    def save(self, string):
        entry = {'len': len(string), 'val': string}
        self.data.append(entry)
        return (len(self.data) - 1)

    # Return string storage object (including length)
    def get(self, idx):
        return self.data[idx]

    # Return length of string
    def length(self, idx):
        return int(self.data[idx]['len'])

    # Return printable string only (no meta data).
    def get_str(self, idx):
        return str(self.data[idx]['val'])

    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.data)

As you can see the string table couldn't be much simpler. Now we need to handle inserting strings in the parser. Our parser will need to take the string from the token passed back from the lexer, save it in the string table, and push it's address (index) on to the stack. Then it will need to push the string length onto the stack. Once the string is encountered it is up to the next operation to handle the length-address pair.

Place the following code in the parser after the arithmetic and logic operations and before the section of code to handle keywords.

# parser.py
              ...
               # Handle Strings and Characters
               elif tok.type == TT_STRING:
                string = self.current_tok.value
                addr = self.string_table.save(string)
                self.data.push(addr)
                self.data.push(len(string))

              # Handle KEYWORDS
              elif tok.type == TT_KEYWORD:
              ...

Now before we can run this code we need to first import it and add it to our parser object at the bottom of the __init__() method:

   def __init__(self, lexer: Lexer, data_stack: Stack = None):
       ...
       # Setup string table
       if string_table is not None:
           self.string_table = string_table
       else:
           self.string_table = StringTable()

Next, we need to change the signature of the __init__() method to allow us to pass a new symbol table into the method when needed. You will see why we would want to do this later. For now, just know it's something we may need to do.

class Parser:

    def __init__(self, lexer: Lexer, data_stack: Stack = None, string_table=None):
        self.lexer = lexer

        # Setup data stack
   ...

With that change, any errors you were getting in the __init__() method should have disappeared. If not, then make sure you've imported the StringTable class at the top of the file.

We now need to change our source code in the "if" statement at the bottom of the parser file to:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    source = """ 16 2 >> 
    "This is a string" 
    dump
    """
    lexer = Lexer(source)
    parser = Parser(lexer)
    parser.parse()

If we run this code now you should see the following:

[ '4', '0', '16' ]

These values come from the dump operation which displays the contents of the stack after the parser processed the string. Since we haven't put any other strings in the string table, the index for this string is 0 and it's length is 16.

Now that we can get the string stowed away in the string table and the address of it on the stack, what can we do with it? Well, at the moment not a lot. So let's fix that. The primary thing we want to do with strings is display them. So let's add some code to handle a new keyword "TYPE". Type will pop the length and address of a string off the stack and print the string out to the console.

Add the following code to the parser between the code to handle the "emit" and the code to handle the "key" keywords:

# parser.py 
               ...

                 elif tok.value == 'type':
                    """<addr> <length> type
                    Sends a string to standard out. The string is located
                    in the string table at location <addr> and has a length
                    of <length>.
                    """
                    length = int(self.data.pop())
                    addr = int(self.data.pop())

                    string = self.string_table.get_str(addr)
                    if length > len(string):
                        raise IndexError(f'Error: String length of {length} was given but actual length is {len(string)}.')

                    idx = 0
                    while idx < length:
                        print(string[idx], end='')
                        idx += 1
                    print()

                ...

Now change the code for the runner to:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    source = """ 16 2 >> 
    "This is a string" 
    dump
    type dump
    """
    lexer = Lexer(source)
    parser = Parser(lexer)
    parser.parse()

When you run this you should get the following output:

[ '4', '0', '16' ]
This is a string
[ '4' ]

When the parser encounters the string it already has 4 on the stack from the previous operation. Then it places the strings address (index), on the stack followed by the string's length. We then call "type" which takes the length and address of the string off the stack and uses this information to display the string. Then we call "dump" again to show that only the string values were consumed, leaving 4 still on the stack when the program completes.

With this, we can now right that "Hello World" app. Give it a try!

Now that we have strings working, let's get characters working. Characters are single-quoted ASCII characters, and when encountered by the parser, they are converted to their ASCII values and placed on the stack. I bet by now you can add the code for this without my help. So, I'll just show you my implementation below:

            ...
            elif tok.type == TT_CHAR:
                char = self.current_tok.value
                ascii_code = ord(char)
                self.data.push(ascii_code)

            # Handle Keywords
            elif tok.type == TT_KEYWORD:
           ...

Here we simply get the character from the token value and convert it to its code-point using the ord() function from python. Then we push that value onto the stack.

I had wanted to include variable handling in this issue. However, I feel that it will make this post exceedingly long so I will postpone variables until next time.

As always, I have included the code as it now stands, below:
