24 | + "Bison" is a general-purpose parser generator that converts a grammar | |
25 | +description for an LALR(1) context-free grammar into a C program to parse | |
26 | +that grammar. Once you are proficient with Bison, you may use it to develop | |
27 | +a wide range of language parsers, from those used in simple desk calculators | |
28 | +to complex programming languages. | |
29 | + | |
30 | + Bison is upward compatible with Yacc: all properly-written Yacc grammars | |
31 | +ought to work with Bison with no change. Anyone familiar with Yacc should | |
32 | +be able to use Bison with little trouble. You need to be fluent in C | |
33 | +programming in order to use Bison or to understand this manual. | |
