`BTreeTable::to_sql` makes us incompatible with SQLite by losing e.g. the original whitespace provided during the CREATE TABLE command. For now let's fix our tests by regex-replacing every CREATE TABLE in the entire repo to have exactly 1 space after the table name in the CREATE TABLE statement.
LEMON parser generator modified to generate Rust code.
Lemon source and SQLite3 grammar were last synced as of July 2024.

SQLite
SQLite lexer and SQLite parser have been ported from C to Rust. The parser generates an AST.
Lexer/Parser:
- Keep track of position (line, column).
- Streamable (stop at the end of statement).
- Resumable (restart after the end of statement).
Lexer and parser have been tested with the following scripts:
- https://github.com/bkiers/sqlite-parser/tree/master/src/test/resources
- https://github.com/codeschool/sqlite-parser/tree/master/test/sql/official-suite which can be updated with script in https://github.com/codeschool/sqlite-parser/tree/master/test/misc
TODO:
- Check generated AST (reparse/reinject)
- If a keyword in double quotes is used in a context where it cannot be resolved to an identifier but where a string literal is allowed, then the token is understood to be a string literal instead of an identifier.
- Tests
- Do not panic while parsing
- CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE args
- Zero copy (at least tokens)

To be fixed
- RHS are moved. Maybe it is not a problem if they are always used once. Just add a check in lemon...
%extra_argumentis not supported.- Terminal symbols generated by lemon should be dumped in a specified file.
Raison d'être
-
lemon_rust does the same thing but with an old version of
lemon. And it seems not possible to useyystackas a stack because items may be access randomly and thetop+1item can be used. -
lalrpop would be the perfect alternative but it does not support fallback/streaming (see this issue) and compilation/generation is slow.
Minimum supported Rust version (MSRV)
Latest stable Rust version at the time of release. It might compile with older versions.
