Which one of the following statements is TRUE?a)The LALR(1) parser for...
Concept:
Option 1: The LALR(1) parser for a grammar G cannot have a reduce-reduce conflict if the LR(1) parser for G does not have a reduce-reduce conflict.
False, If there is no S-R conflict in LR(1) state, it will never be reflected in the LALR(1) state obtained by combining LR(1) states; but, this merging method may create R-R conflict, and the Grammar will not be LALR (1).
Option 2: Symbol table is accessed only during the lexical analysis phase
False, The information in the symbol table is provided during the lexical and syntax analysis phases, but it is needed in subsequent stages of the compiler (semantic analysis, intermediate code generation, code optimization, and code generation).
Option 3:Data flow analysis is necessary for run-time memory management.
False, Data flow analysis is used in control flow graphs for code optimization. It is the analysis of data flow in a control flow graph, that is, the analysis that determines information about data definition and usage in a program. Optimization can be achieved with the use of this analysis.
Option 4: LR(1) parsing is sufficient for deterministic context-free languages
True, LR(k) grammars (also known as deterministic context-free grammars) allow parsing (string recognition) with deterministic pushdown automata (PDA), they can only define deterministic context-free languages.
Hence the correct answer is LR(1) parsing is sufficient for deterministic context-free languages.
