Using a undefined constructor in the context-free priorities section and saving the sdf3 file will fail to create the sdf file that belongs with it. This in turn will prevent you from building the project properly.

No warning/error is issued to the user.

Note: if an outdated corresponding sdf file already existed, this means that the user is kept wondering why updates to the code do not have any noticable effect, making debugging very difficult.

Some more causes of the same behavior:

  • The production where the sort and constructor is defined must be a template. SDF2 style productions, or SDF3 style productions with SDF2 right hand side do not work.
  • The template must be in the same file. Importing a template for context-free priorities does not work.
