Path: utzoo!utgpu!water!watmath!clyde!ima!johnl From: abakus%uklirb@unido.uucp (AG Hartenstein-UNI KL-FRG) Newsgroups: comp.compilers Subject: Recursive-descent parser generator wanted Message-ID: <887@ima.ISC.COM> Date: 11 Feb 88 17:49:18 GMT Sender: news@ima.ISC.COM Reply-To: "AG Hartenstein-UNI KL-FRG" Lines: 27 Approved: compilers@ima.UUCP I am looking for a parser-generator, which generates recursive-descent parsers in PASCAL. Some time ago I saw a note about such a program named LILA, which has been implemented at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuwen. If anybody knows which person I have to contact to get this program, I would be very thankful, if he would mail me the adress. If you know about other parser-generators, which work in the same way, I would be interested in information about these systems, too. Many thanks in advance, Michael Ryba Dipl.-Inform.

[At the risk of much flamage, I'd be interested in comments about why one might prefer an R.D. parser generator to an LR one. We've beaten error recovery to death, unless someone has something genuinely new. -John] -- Send compilers articles to ima!compilers or, in a pinch, to Levine@YALE.EDU Plausible paths are { ihnp4 | decvax | cbosgd | harvard | yale | bbn}!ima Please send responses to the originator of the message -- I cannot forward mail accidentally sent back to compilers.
