一、技术总结

1.Context-Free Grammar(CFG)

2.parse tree

(1)定义

p183，But perhaps more importantly, the tree, known as a “parse tree”, when used in a compiler, is the data structure of choice to represent the source program。

p175, Let us consider some of the inferences we can make using a grammar for expression in Fig.5.2.

之前一直记不住adopt的意思以及adopt和use的区别，对此进行了梳理，结果如下：

(1)adoption: ad-(to) + optare(to choose, 参考option)

(2)adopt: a back-formation of adoption。to accept or start to use sth new。

示例1：p177, Notice that we have adopted the policy of always replacing the leftmost variable in the string。
