	in response to marvin v. zelkowitz's request for a lalr
grammar for c i recommend:

                        "c a reference manual"
                        by samuel p. harbison
                        and guy l. steele jr.
                        of tartan laboratories
                          prentice-hall 1984
                                $19.95

not only does this book provide both a rigorous and non-rigourous
definition for c but it also talks about side issues and
implementation problems/features/bugs.  in my opinion a must book for
anyone trying to develop a c compiler.
