Berkeley Yacc 990830

Summary

Description: Berkeley Yacc LALR(1) parser generator
Source: http://dickey.his.com/byacc/byacc.html

Support

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

Description

Berkeley Yacc is an LALR(1) parser generator. Berkeley Yacc has been made as compatible as possible with AT&T Yacc. Berkeley Yacc can accept any input specification that conforms to the AT&T Yacc documentation. Specifications that take advantage of undocumented features of AT&T Yacc will probably be rejected.

Most packages use GNU Bison rather than Berkeley Yacc, but Berkeley Yacc is stricter and under some circumstances generates more portable code.
