Previously, running
make parser
two times may produce different contents inparser.go
. This is because we have two pairs of tokens differed only by case: "Starting"/"starting" and "Constraint"/"constraint".goyacc
by default sort the tokens by usage and lower-cased name usingsort.Sort
which is unstable, causing non-deterministic output. This PR fixes the issue in the parser generator by forcing the upper-case tokens be sorted before the lower-case ones.This PR is needed for #6.
