Menhir is a LR(1) parser generator for the OCaml programming language.
|
|
That is, Menhir compiles LR(1) grammar specifications down to OCaml
|
|
code. Menhir was designed and implemented by François Pottier and
|
|
Yann Régis-Gianas.
|
|
|
|
Menhir is 90% compatible with ocamlyacc. Legacy ocamlyacc grammar
|
|
specifications are accepted and compiled by Menhir. The resulting
|
|
parsers run and produce correct parse trees. However, parsers that
|
|
explicitly invoke functions in module Parsing behave slightly
|
|
incorrectly. For instance, the functions that provide access to
|
|
positions return a dummy position when invoked by a Menhir parser.
|
|
Porting a grammar specification from ocamlyacc to Menhir requires
|
|
replacing all calls to module Parsing with new Menhir-specific
|
|
keywords.
