Bison for Eiffel

Maintainer

Pirmin Kalberer

Description

Bison is a general-purpose parser generator that converts a grammar description for an LALR(1) context-free grammar into a program to parse that grammar.

The wrappers and support files in this package allow Bison to be used for the generation of parsers using Eiffel.

Dmitriy E. Devaytkin (SIG Computer) wrote the original version of this package for Eiffel/S.
