Does this grammar allow scope nesting?

I'm only able to make functions inside the global scope. Scope nesting开发者_运维百科 means being able make functions within functions, right? I'm not able to do that with this grammar. Is it possible?

Actually, a grammar doesn't imply a scope. It is how you deal with symbols semantically that determines scope.

Having said that, in this grammar there could be a global scope and a scope introduced by a compound statement. In the global scope you can declare variables and functions. In the compound statement scope, you can only declare variables.

If you want to support nested functions, change the grammar to allow function declarations within compound statements.
