Coco/R
<tool> A program by Hanspeter Moessenboeck
<[email protected]> which generates {recursive
descent parsers} and their associated {scanners} from
{attributed grammars} (LL1). Coco/R can {bootstrap} itself to
generate its own driver, {parser}, scanner and {semantic
evaluator} from an attributed grammar included in the
distribution.
Versions exist for generating {Oberon}, {Modula-2}, {Pascal},
{C}, and {C++} source for {MS-DOS} and {Unix}. A {Java}
implementation was planned.
Latest version: 1.34, as gf 1994-10-13.
Coco/R was ported to {Modula-2} by Marc Brandis, Christof
Brass, and Pat Terry.
