<emphasis>sid</emphasis> is an LL(1) parser generator
|
|
|
16 |
with a long history (the original version dates back to
|
|
|
17 |
the mid-sixties!). As well as the normal rule
|
|
|
18 |
transformations it provides powerful techniques for
|
|
|
19 |
call-outs in circumstances where a non-trivial
|
|
|
20 |
look-ahead is required (essential for languages like C++),
|
|
|
21 |
and for error recovery.
