sv-parser provides parse_sv function which returns SyntaxTree. SyntaxTree shows Concrete Syntax Tree. It has the preprocessed string and the parsed tree.

RefNode shows a reference to any node of SyntaxTree. You can get RefNode through an iterator of SyntaxTree. Variant names of RefNode follows "Annex A Formal syntax" of IEEE 1800-2017.

Locate shows a position of token. All leaf node of SyntaxTree is Locate. You can get string from Locate by get_str.

Example

The following example parses a SystemVerilog source file and shows module names.

use std::collections::HashMap;
use std::env;
use std::path::PathBuf;
use sv_parser::{parse_sv, unwrap_node, Locate, RefNode};

fn main() {
    let args: Vec<String> = env::args().collect();

    // The path of SystemVerilog source file
    let path = PathBuf::from(&args[1]);
    // The list of defined macros
    let defines = HashMap::new();
    // The list of include paths
    let includes: Vec<PathBuf> = Vec::new();

    // Parse
    let result = parse_sv(&path, &defines, &includes);

    if let Ok((syntax_tree, _)) = result {
        // &SyntaxTree is iterable
        for node in &syntax_tree {
            // The type of each node is RefNode
            match node {
                RefNode::ModuleDeclarationNonansi(x) => {
                    // unwrap_node! gets the nearest ModuleIdentifier from x
                    let id = unwrap_node!(x, ModuleIdentifier).unwrap();

                    let id = get_identifier(id).unwrap();

                    // Original string can be got by SyntaxTree::get_str(self, locate: &Locate)
                    let id = syntax_tree.get_str(&id);
                    println!("module: {}", id);
                }
                RefNode::ModuleDeclarationAnsi(x) => {
                    let id = unwrap_node!(x, ModuleIdentifier).unwrap();
                    let id = get_identifier(id).unwrap();
                    let id = syntax_tree.get_str(&id);
                    println!("module: {}", id);
                }
                _ => (),
            }
        }
    } else {
        println!("Parse failed");
    }
}

fn get_identifier(node: RefNode) -> Option<Locate> {
    // unwrap_node! can take multiple types
    match unwrap_node!(node, SimpleIdentifier, EscapedIdentifier) {
        Some(RefNode::SimpleIdentifier(x)) => {
            return Some(x.nodes.0);
        }
        Some(RefNode::EscapedIdentifier(x)) => {
            return Some(x.nodes.0);
        }
        _ => None,
    }
