NAME¶
lemon
—
The Lemon Parser Generator
SYNOPSIS¶
DESCRIPTION¶
lemon
is an LALR(1) parser generator for C or
C++. It does the same job as bison and yacc. But
lemon
is not another bison or yacc clone.
It uses a different grammar syntax which is designed to reduce the number of
coding errors.
lemon
also uses a more
sophisticated parsing engine that is faster than yacc and bison and which is
both reentrant and thread-safe. Furthermore,
lemon
implements features that can be used
to eliminate resource leaks, making is suitable for use in long-running
programs such as graphical user interfaces or embedded controllers.
lemon
will read the grammer from
input and write out a parser for that grammar
in the C language.
