2022-02-01need to stop abusing hash tablesJSDurand
Hash tables take too much space! If I use hash tables, the length of the input will be severely limited, to an unacceptable extent. So we have to use arrays instead.

Just to save some work.
2022-01-11Add the framework for character classes.JSDurand
Now we have the potential to recognize character classes. But the most important task for us now is to experiment with ((B)RN)GLR algorithms, so we leave the character classes at the present state for a moment.
2022-01-04Fix problemsJSDurand
Now some problems are fixed. It can now read grammar correctly (hopefully) from a file, in the BNF format. And strings (terminals) are handled fine as well. So glad that there are no leak problems now.

Now we can read grammars from a file. But we need to check if it works for reading strings still.
2021-11-09save point: representation of grammar might be too rough.JSDurand
The current representation of the grammar is the most primitive BNF. This is the simplest to implement, but is difficult to cope with user requirements. Moreover, I find another paper describing the GLR algorithm, so I need to think about the representation of the grammar more. In particular, I would like the generation of the grammar to be incremental, so per chance its data type should be adapted accordingly.
