Fine.

Your code proceeds to look at the next token, which may be a WHILE
token, while in the code construct for handling the DO token.  What
if you can't proceed to the next token once a DO is found?  You can
only look at DO.  You can't parse a statement next.  You must wait
for WHILE and then determine how it fits.

The logic is vastly different, but that's close enough
to the issue.

You don't need to know which brace goes with which brace as
long as all braces are properly paired.  An up/down counter
can keep track of scope level and provide a count of missing
braces.

The goal is to determine the context from syntax as described.

I was hoping to use logic states, flags, rejection etc, to keep
track of where the 'statement' for the DO-WHILE is so that
intermediate WHILEs, those within the 'statement' can be rejected.
I believe this is only needed for the situtations without the
braces.  There is very little syntax or presence/absence info to
key off of for an example like the one I posted:

do while(x++); while(x++);
___-----------____________

E.g., look at logic pulse above.  Set a flag at start of
<statement>, and disable at the end.  With braces present,
this can be done easily by detecting the presence of the
braces.

I.e., there is minimal information context at that point:
1) keyword do
2) keyword "other", i.e., first "while" here
3) whitespace
4) absence of braces prior to while
5) semicolon

So, in this case, the best I can figure is that I need
to detect the absence of the brace at a keyword after DO
but other than DO, then set a flag, disable at the
semicolon, and use a counter.  If the counter is non-zero,
and a WHILE is found, and that WHILE is not in the rejected
region, i.e., the innermost braceless <statement>, then
the WHILE is part of a DO-WHILE.

... do do while(x++); while(x++); while(x++);
__________-----------___________________________
0    1  2 (rejected)   2           1           0

I haven't worked through this for other cases.  I'm
just presenting this as an example of a possible way
to solve this.  I don't believe this is needed for
when the braces are present.

That sentence was part of me telling you about what to
do to mimic my situation.  It was not describing my
understanding of your situation.

Yes, that's true, but not the issue at hand.

> That's really the nub of it.

That's the "nub of it" for parsers designed the way you presented.

It's not the "nub of it" for the parser in question.  The parser in
question has no ability to distinquish a WHILE in a <statement> from
the WHILE which comes after DO and a <statement>.  It knows where
each while is, each do, but has no ability to link them.  I.e.,
within the statement, if there is a WHILE, it needs an ability to
differentiate that while from the WHILE which is to come later and
goes with a DO.  This parser needs to determine this purely from
the textual syntax, which is difficult to do without braces and
with overloaded uses of WHILE.

Ok...  Think about construct-less parser.  It doesn't know
where the constructs are and need to determine whether the next
WHILE found is within the <statement> of a DO-WHILE, the start
of a WHILE loop, or the end of a DO-WHILE, and which WHILE if
many are nested.  This needs to be done without setting up a large
amount of tracking, stacks, binary trees, etc.  You only have the
whitespace, keywords, and absence of braces etc that I mentioned
above to determine this.  You can't check for a <statement> after
DO, but you need to identify and store some info in order to reject
any WHILE's found in the <statement> as being a match to the DO.

Again, I was describing my situation.
