Module Cps_reader

module Cps_reader: sig .. end

This defines the interface for the "reader" objects that the parser expects, as well as a few implementations thereof. Typically, these objects will take data from some normal source, like a string, file, or socket, and feed them to the parser.

The reader methods are invoked through continuation-passing style. This means that instead of being expected to return a value to its caller, it is passed a "continuation" (a procedure) to which it should pass the result in a tail-call.

class type t = object .. end

The basic reader interface.

val make_string_reader : string -> t

val make_utf8_string_reader : string -> t

val make_utf8_file_reader : string -> t

Creates a reader from a UTF-8 file given the filename.
Raises

Utf8_char.Bad_encoding if an invalid UTF-8 encoding is encountered.
Sys_error if the file couldn't be opened.
