Summary0002200: explicitly mention operator precedences when referring to Fig.2.1 "Grammar of terms" in the acsl-implementation manual
DescriptionRunning "frama-c xac2.c" on the attached program results in an error message:
xac.c:20:[kernel] user error: unexpected token ':'
The message disappears if the named subterm "A:1" is put in parantheses.

However, from Fig.2.1 "Grammar of terms" (p.16) in the manual "acsl-implementation-Sodium-20150201.pdf" the derivation
term -----> unary-op term -----> unary-op id : term -----> - A : 1
seems to be perfectly valid.

I suggest that, when referring to Fig.2.1, a note should be added that the grammar should be taken cum grano salis rather than literally, and that operator precedences (probably those shown in Fig.2.4, p.19) apply that aren't reflected in Fig.2.1. A similar note could be added for Fig.2.2 "Grammar of predicates", and maybe also at later places in the manual.
TagsNo tags attached.

 Yes, your derivation rule seems perfectly valid.

 As the can see from the first grammar figure (2.1), the grammar is not purely in Backus-Naur Form as written in section 1.3.
Yes, without any precedence rules, the figure does says how to parse the term : "P && Q || R".
That is the purpose of the section 2.2.1
That section explains the "-A:1" shoud be parsed as "(-A):1" that is not an ACSL term.
 
May be, something can be added into section 1.3

 There is such a rule in Figure 2.1 & 2.2 about "syntactic naming" and precedence is given in Figure 2.4 of the document version: acsl-implementation-19.0-Potassium.pdf

Note: next issues about ACSL has to be reported at https://github.com/acsl-language/acsl/issues [^]
