SORCERER

   <tool> A simple tree {parser generator} by Terence Parr
   <[email protected]>.

   SORCERER is suitable for translation problems lying between
   those solved by {code generator} generators and by full
   source-to-source translator generators.  SORCERER generates
   simple, flexible, top-down, tree {parsers} that, in contrast
   to code generators, may execute actions at any point during a
   tree walk.  SORCERER accepts {extended BNF} notation, allows
   {predicates} to direct the tree walk with {semantic} and
   {syntactic} context information, and does not rely on any
   particular intermediate form, parser generator, or other
   pre-existing application.

   SORCERER is included in the {Purdue Compiler-Construction Tool
   Set}.

Sorcerer
from the Latin sortiarius, one who casts lots, or one who tells
the lot of others. (See {DIVINATION}.)

  In Dan. 2:2 it is the rendering of the Hebrew mekhashphim,
i.e., mutterers, men who professed to have power with evil
spirits. The practice of sorcery exposed to severest punishment
(Mal. 3:5; Rev. 21:8; 22:15).
