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