<p>Welcome to Chapter 2 of the "<a href="index.html">Implementing a language
with LLVM in Objective Caml</a>" tutorial. This chapter shows you how to use

<p>The AST for a program captures its behavior in such a way that it is easy for
later stages of the compiler (e.g. code generation) to interpret. We basically

<p>Now that we have an AST to build, we need to define the parser code to build
it. The idea here is that we want to parse something like "x+y" (which is

<p>We start with numeric literals, because they are the simplest to process.
For each production in our grammar, we'll define a function which parses that

<p>Binary expressions are significantly harder to parse because they are often
ambiguous. For example, when given the string "x+y*z", the parser can choose
