Simple trailing commas ,

[Tarek Ziadé]

Hey

I used PLY for an experiment, and I was trying to improve my DSL, in
particular allow trailing commas.

For example in this expression :

path foo (
a b,
c d
);

I would like to allow:

path foo (
a b,
c d,
);

and I would like to allow this in most places. Is there a simple
pattern to do this ?

My DSL: https://bitbucket.org/tarek/redbarrel/src/tip/redbarrel/parser.py

Cheers
Tarek

I haven't thought about this particularly hard (I just tested simple
cases) but does:

def p_statements(p):
"""statements : statements COMMA statement
| statements COMMA
| statement
"""
if len(p) == 2:
p[0] = [p[1]]
elif len(p) == 3:
p[0] = p[1]
else:
p[0] = p[1] + [p[3]]

Help?

Yeah that's what I was going to do, but I was wondering if there was a
generic way to handle this case, because I am going to have to add it
in many statements.

Thanks

You could add an empty statenment, except that would allow "foo,,,"
