"Bison" is a general-purpose parser generator that converts a
|
|
grammar description for an LALR(1) context-free grammar into a C
|
|
program to parse that grammar. Once you are proficient with Bison, you
|
|
may use it to develop a wide range of language parsers, from those used
|
|
in simple desk calculators to complex programming languages.
|
|
|
|
Bison is upward compatible with Yacc: all properly-written Yacc
|
|
grammars ought to work with Bison with no change. Anyone familiar with
|
|
Yacc should be able to use Bison with little trouble. You need to be
|
|
fluent in C programming in order to use Bison.
