# Nyash Grammar (Stage2 EBNF)
Status: Fixed for Phase 15 Stage2. Parser implementations (Rust/Python/Nyash selfhost) should conform to this subset.
program := stmt* EOF
stmt := 'return' expr
| 'local' IDENT '=' expr
| 'if' expr block ('else' block)?
| 'loop' '('? expr ')' ? block
| expr ; expression statement
block := '{' stmt* '}'
expr := logic
logic := compare (('&&' | '||') compare)*
compare := sum (( '==' | '!=' | '<' | '>' | '<=' | '>=' ) sum)?
sum := term (('+' | '-') term)*
term := unary (('*' | '/') unary)*
unary := '-' unary | factor
factor := INT
| STRING
| IDENT call_tail*
| '(' expr ')'
| 'new' IDENT '(' args? ')'
| '[' args? ']' ; Array literal (Stage1 sugar, gated)
| '{' map_entries? '}' ; Map literal (Stage2 sugar, gated)
map_entries := (STRING | IDENT) ':' expr (',' (STRING | IDENT) ':' expr)* [',']
call_tail := '.' IDENT '(' args? ')' ; method
| '(' args? ')' ; function call
args := expr (',' expr)*
Notes
- ASI: Newline is the primary statement separator. Do not insert a semicolon between a closed block and a following 'else'.
- Short-circuit: '&&' and '||' must not evaluate the RHS when not needed.
- Unary minus has higher precedence than '*' and '/'.
- IDENT names consist of [A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*
- Array literal is enabled when syntax sugar is on (NYASH_SYNTAX_SUGAR_LEVEL=basic|full) or when NYASH_ENABLE_ARRAY_LITERAL=1 is set.
- Map literal is enabled when syntax sugar is on (NYASH_SYNTAX_SUGAR_LEVEL=basic|full) or when NYASH_ENABLE_MAP_LITERAL=1 is set.
- Identifier keys (`{name: v}`) are Stage3 and require either NYASH_SYNTAX_SUGAR_LEVEL=full or NYASH_ENABLE_MAP_IDENT_KEY=1.
## Stage3 (Gated) Additions
Enabled when `NYASH_PARSER_STAGE3=1` for the Rust parser (and via `--stage3`/`NYASH_NY_COMPILER_STAGE3=1` for the selfhost parser):
- try/catch/cleanup
- `try_stmt := 'try' block ('catch' '(' (IDENT IDENT | IDENT | ε) ')' block) ('cleanup' block)?`
- MVP policy: single `catch` per `try`
- `(Type var)` or `(var)` or `()` are accepted for the catch parameter。
- Blockpostfix catch/cleanupPhase 15.5
- `block_catch := '{' stmt* '}' ('catch' '(' (IDENT IDENT | IDENT | ε) ')' block)? ('cleanup' block)?`
- Applies to standalone block statements. Do not attach to `if/else/loop` structural blocks (wrap with a standalone block when needed).
- Gate: `NYASH_BLOCK_CATCH=1` (or `NYASH_PARSER_STAGE3=1`).
- throw
- `throw_stmt := 'throw' expr`
- Methodlevel postfix catch/cleanupPhase 15.6, gated
- `method_decl := 'method' IDENT '(' params? ')' block ('catch' '(' (IDENT IDENT | IDENT | ε) ')' block)? ('cleanup' block)?`
- Gate: `NYASH_METHOD_CATCH=1`(または `NYASH_PARSER_STAGE3=1` と同梱)
These constructs remain experimental; behaviour may degrade to noop in some backends until runtime support lands, as tracked in CURRENT_TASK.md.
