Abstract:
this paper is to discover why this is the case and present a functional formalization of memoized top-down parsing for which this is not so. Specifically, I show how to formulate top-down parsers in a 'continuation-passing style,' which incrementally enumerates the right string positions of a category, rather than returning a set of such positions as a single value. This permits a type of memoization not described to my knowledge in the context of functional programming before. This kind of memoization is akin to that used in logic programming, and yields terminating parsers even in the face of left recursion
