== DESCRIPTION:

ruby_parser (RP) is a ruby parser written in pure ruby (utilizing
racc--which does by default use a C extension). It outputs
s-expressions which can be manipulated and converted back to ruby via
the ruby2ruby gem.

As an example:

    def conditional1 arg1
      return 1 if arg1 == 0
      return 0
    end

becomes:

    s(:defn, :conditional1, s(:args, :arg1),
      s(:if,
        s(:call, s(:lvar, :arg1), :==, s(:lit, 0)),
        s(:return, s(:lit, 1)),
        nil),
      s(:return, s(:lit, 0)))

Tested against 801,039 files from the latest of all rubygems (as of 2013-05):

* 1.8 parser is at 99.9739% accuracy, 3.651 sigma
* 1.9 parser is at 99.9940% accuracy, 4.013 sigma
* 2.0 parser is at 99.9939% accuracy, 4.008 sigma
* 2.6 parser is at 99.9972% accuracy, 4.191 sigma
* 3.0 parser has a 100% parse rate.
  * Tested against 2,672,412 unique ruby files across 167k gems.
  * As do all the others now, basically.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

* Pure ruby, no compiles.
* Includes preceding comment data for defn/defs/class/module nodes!
* Incredibly simple interface.
* Output is 100% equivalent to ParseTree.
  * Can utilize PT's SexpProcessor and UnifiedRuby for language processing.
* Known Issue: Speed is now pretty good, but can always improve:
  * RP parses a corpus of 3702 files in 125s (avg 108 Kb/s)
  * MRI+PT parsed the same in 67.38s (avg 200.89 Kb/s)
* Known Issue: Code is much better, but still has a long way to go.
* Known Issue: Totally awesome.
* Known Issue: line number values can be slightly off. Parsing LR sucks.

== SYNOPSIS:

  RubyParser.new.parse "1+1"
  # => s(:call, s(:lit, 1), :+, s(:lit, 1))

You can also use Ruby19Parser, Ruby18Parser, or RubyParser.for_current_ruby:

  RubyParser.for_current_ruby.parse "1+1"
  # => s(:call, s(:lit, 1), :+, s(:lit, 1))

== DEVELOPER NOTES:

To add a new version:

* New parser should be generated from lib/ruby[3]_parser.yy.
* Extend lib/ruby[3]_parser.yy with new class name.
* Add new version number to V2/V3 in Rakefile for rule creation.
* Add new `ruby_parse "x.y.z"` line to Rakefile for rake compare (line ~300).
* Require generated parser in lib/ruby_parser.rb.
* Add new V## = ::Ruby##Parser; end to ruby_parser.rb (bottom of file).
* Add empty TestRubyParserShared##Plus module and TestRubyParserV## to test/test_ruby_parser.rb.
* Extend Manifest.txt with generated file names.
* Add new version number to sexp_processor's pt_testcase.rb in all_versions

Until all of these are done, you won't have a clean test run.

== REQUIREMENTS:

* ruby. woot.
* sexp_processor for Sexp and SexpProcessor classes, and testing.
* racc full package for parser development (compiling .y to .rb).

== INSTALL:

* sudo gem install ruby_parser
