Allow recursive parsing from within the code callbacks. about jison HOT 4 CLOSED

It should be possible for you to store a reference to the parser in the yy scope variable:
myparser.yy.parser = myparser;

Then you could access myparser as yy.parser from within semantic actions.

But this may disrupt the currently executing parse, since parse calls lexer.setInput on each invocation. As an alternative, you could instantiate another parser just for use with string interpolation.

If only a subset of the language is allowed in embedded code fragments, you could even use a separate grammar and parser altogether, which may be a bit more efficient for parsing, but would require maintaining two grammars.

Yeah, I had hacked in a reference to the parser and found that the results are unexpected because of setInput being called again. It looks like I'll have to generate pseudo tokens for start and end of embedded code and then just make it all part of the ine grammer.

I'm trying to port my bibtex translator from pegjs to jison and I'm facing a similar issue. Is this then a structural hard problem for jison?
