Bison 1.875

Summary

Description: GNU parser generator, similar to yacc
Source: http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/

Support

This package is available for all platforms. This package is unsupported and provided on an as-is basis.

Description

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. Bison can be used 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.

Changes

1.875 2003-01-27

Better POSIX compliance, better processing in the presence of syntax errors, a new generalized LR parser engine, support for larger grammars, clearer initial rules, and many other bug fixes. For all the changes since 1.35, see /usr/pubsw/doc/Languages/bison/NEWS.
