  • Beating the fastest lexer generator in Rust

    This is mighty impressive! I've been trying to get some motivation for the mythical rewrite of the proc macro in Logos, and this might just do it for me :D. I'll have a proper look later today and see if any of your findings have something that can be generalized. Also really surprised to see aarch64 doing better than x86_64 since the latter is what I've been optimizing for!

    Rust is a very nice langage for implementing compilers, and has a nice ecosystem for it (logos, rust-peg, lalrpop, astmaker -- this one is mine --, etc...).

    rust-langdev has a lot of libraries for building compilers in Rust. Perhaps you could use these to make your implementation easier, and revisit it later if you want to build things from scratch. I'd suggest logos for lexing, LALRPOP / chumsky for parsing, and rust-gc for garbage collection.
  • Logos 0.13 released
    2 projects | /r/rust | 10 Apr 2023
    Thanks! For compile times you might find the CLI version that Andrew Hickman contributed useful, it's undocumented still mostly I fear but shouldn't be hard to use, see original PR: https://github.com/maciejhirsz/logos/pull/248
  • Should I revisit my choice to use nom?
    6 projects | /r/rust | 2 Apr 2023
    For my lexer generation purposes, I tend to use https://github.com/maciejhirsz/logos, as it not only generates an easy to use lazy lexer, but the result is also exceptionally fast!
  • Position in rowan
    1 project | /r/rust | 11 Feb 2023
    Hi, I'm using rowan to create a parser and want to print more useful error messages with position in the text/file. I'm using logos (https://crates.io/crates/logos) to generate the lexer. Is there a way to get the starting and ending positions of a SyntaxToken? If not I thought of adding my own wrapper struct around the SyntaxTokens.
  • Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (6/2023)!
    6 projects | /r/rust | 8 Feb 2023
    Is there a way for a lexer created with the logos crate (https://crates.io/crates/logos) to get the starting and ending positions for the tokens?
  • Best resources for a rust interpreter?
    5 projects | /r/rust | 22 Jan 2023
    I wouldn't recommend Logos at this point. This recent bug is quite nasty and seems easy to hit, and the maintainer is unresponsive. Last commit was half a year ago. At this point I consider Logos abandonware, though it would be great if its development continued, or if it were forked.

    I must have gotten confused, since from your brief discussion with CAD97 it seemed like there was a way for the concepts to live separately and that Storage could complicate things in comparison. But if implementing Allocator in terms of Storage is basically equivalent and Storage is flexible enough that I could write one to pass memory out to unsafe code, that works just as well.
  • Zig and Rust
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Mar 2023
    https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/1974-global-allocators.html was the original RFC.

    My vague understanding is that there's a working group https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-allocators

    The further I get from working on Rust day to day, the less I know about these things, so that's all I've got for you.

  • Rust went from side project to world’s fastest growing language

    If you self-reference using pointers and guarantee the struct will never move, you don't even need unsafe. If you self-reference using offsets from the struct's base pointer, you need a splash of unsafe but your struct can be freely moved without invalidating its self-referential "pointers".

    Per-struct allocators are a work in progress (see https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-allocators/issues/48).

    Not sure what "non thread local addresses" means, but in my experience Rust is pretty good at sending data between threads (without moving it).

    Besides that allocation is not really a problem for no_std. It's resolved by using alloc crate directly, so anything usable with custom allocators is supported. Example in dasp sources - https://github.com/RustAudio/dasp/blob/master/dasp_slice/src/boxed.rs#L14-L19 . Also worth looking at this issue to check what is usable already - https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-allocators/issues/7
