我经常听到有人说c++是一种上下文敏感的语言。举个例子:
a b(c);
这是变量定义还是函数声明?这取决于符号c的含义。如果c是一个变量，则ab (c);定义一个名为b的类型为a的变量。它直接用c初始化。但如果c是类型，则ab (c);声明一个名为b的函数，该函数接受c并返回a。
如果您查找上下文无关语言的定义，它基本上会告诉您，所有语法规则的左侧必须恰好包含一个非终结符。另一方面，上下文敏感语法允许在左侧使用任意的终结符和非终结符字符串。
浏览“c++程序设计语言”的附录A，我找不到一条语法规则，它的左边除了一个非终结符之外，还有其他任何东西。这意味着c++是上下文无关的。(当然，每一种与上下文无关的语言也是与上下文相关的，因为与上下文无关的语言构成了与上下文相关的语言的一个子集，但这不是重点。)
那么，c++是上下文无关的还是上下文敏感的?
当前回答
它是上下文敏感的，如a b(c);有两个有效的解析-声明和变量。当你说“If c是一个类型”时，这就是上下文，就在那里，你已经准确地描述了c++对它的敏感程度。如果没有“c是什么?”的上下文，就无法明确地解析它。
在这里，上下文通过标记的选择来表示——如果标识符指定了类型，解析器将其读取为typename标记。这是最简单的解决方案，避免了上下文敏感的复杂性(在本例中)。
编辑:当然，还有更多的上下文敏感性问题，我只是关注你展示的那个。模板在这方面尤其糟糕。
其他回答
有时情况更糟:当人们说c++具有“不可判定语法”时，他们的意思是什么?
要回答你的问题，你需要区分两个不同的问题。
几乎每一种编程语言的语法都与上下文无关。通常，它是作为扩展的Backus-Naur形式或上下文无关语法给出的。 然而，即使一个程序符合编程语言定义的上下文无关语法，它也不一定是一个有效的程序。为了成为一个有效的程序，程序必须满足许多与上下文无关的属性。例如，最简单的属性是变量的作用域。
综上所述，c++是否与上下文无关取决于你问的问题。
这个答案说c++不是上下文无关的…有一个暗示(不是由回答者)，它不能被解析，回答提供了一个困难的代码示例，如果某个常数不是质数，就会产生一个无效的c++程序。
正如其他人所观察到的，关于语言是否上下文敏感/自由的问题与关于特定语法的相同问题是不同的。
为了解决可解析性的问题，我提供了经验证据，证明c++中存在可以使用的上下文无关语法 生成一个AST，用于源文本的上下文无关的解析 实际上是通过使用现有的基于glr解析器的工具进行解析，该工具由显式语法驱动。
Yes, it succeeds by "accepting too much"; not everything it accepts is a valid C++ program, which is why it's followed up with additional checks (type checks). And yes, the type checker may run into computability problems. In practice tools don't have this problem; if people wrote programs like that, none of them would compile. (I think the standard actually puts a limit on the amount of computation you can do unfolding a template, so in fact the computation is actually finite but probably pretty big).
如果您的意思是，则确定源程序是否是成员 的集合有效的c++源程序，那么我将同意 问题就难多了。但问题并不在于解析。
The tool resolves this issue by isolating parsing from type-checking the parsed program. (Where there are multiple interpretations in the absence of context, it records an ambiguity node in the parse tree with several possible parses; the type checking decides which one is correct and eliminates the invalid subtrees). You can see a (partial) parse tree in the example below; the whole tree is too large to fit in an SO answer. Note you get a parse tree whether the value 234797 or 234799 is used.
在原始值为234799的AST上运行工具的名称/类型解析器成功。如果值为234797，名称解析器将失败(正如预期的那样)，并给出错误消息“typen不是类型”，因此该版本不是有效的c++程序。

没有一种类algol语言是与上下文无关的，因为它们有规则约束表达式和语句，标识符可以根据它们的类型出现在这些表达式和语句中，并且因为在声明和使用之间可以出现的语句数量没有限制。
通常的解决方案是编写一个上下文无关的解析器，它实际上接受有效程序的超集，并将上下文敏感的部分放在附加到规则的特殊“语义”代码中。
c++的图灵完备模板系统远远超越了这一点。参见堆栈溢出问题794015。
这里的一个大问题是术语“上下文无关”和“上下文敏感”在计算机科学中有点不直观。对于c++，上下文敏感性看起来很像歧义，但在一般情况下不一定是这样。
在C/ c++中，if语句只允许在函数体中使用。这似乎是上下文敏感的，对吧?嗯,没有。与上下文无关的语法实际上不需要这样的属性，即您可以提取某一行代码并确定它是否有效。这实际上并不是context-free的意思。它实际上只是一个标签，模糊地暗示了一些与它的发音相关的东西。
现在，如果函数体中的语句根据直接语法祖先之外的定义而被不同地解析(例如，标识符是描述类型还是变量)，如a * b;大小写，那么它实际上是上下文敏感的。这里没有实际的歧义;如果a是类型，则解析为指针声明，否则解析为乘法声明。
Being context-sensitive does not necessarily mean "hard to parse". C is actually not that hard because the infamous a * b; "ambiguity" can be resolved with a symbol table containing typedefs encountered previously. It doesn't require any arbitrary template instantiations (which have been proven to be Turing Complete) to resolve that case like C++ does on occasion. It's not actually possible to write a C program that will not compile in a finite amount of time even though it has the same context-sensitivity that C++ does.
Python (and other whitespace-sensitive languages) is also context-dependent, as it requires state in the lexer to generate indent and dedent tokens, but that doesn't make it any harder to parse than a typical LL-1 grammar. It actually uses a parser-generator, which is part of why Python has such uninformative syntax error messages. It's also important to note here that there is no "ambiguity" like the a * b; problem in Python, giving a good concrete example of a context-sensitive language without "ambiguous" grammar (as mentioned in the first paragraph).
