Detailed Description

Core public API for the Lime Parser library.

This is the main header for consumers of the Lime runtime library. It provides:

• Snapshot lifecycle (create, acquire, release)
• Parse session management (begin, token, end)
• JIT compilation control
• Extension registry initialization

Basic Usage

// Create a snapshot from a grammar file
char *error = NULL;
ParserSnapshot *snap = lemon_snapshot_create("sql.y", &error);
if (!snap) { fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", error); free(error); return 1; }
 
// Begin a parse session
ParseContext *ctx = parse_begin(snap);
 
// Feed tokens
parse_token(ctx, TK_SELECT, NULL, LIME_LOC_UNKNOWN);
parse_token(ctx, TK_STAR,   NULL, LIME_LOC_UNKNOWN);
parse_token(ctx, 0,         NULL, LIME_LOC_UNKNOWN);  // end-of-input
 
// End the session
parse_end(ctx);
lemon_snapshot_release(snap);
