[1] [2] It is specialized for use in text editors, as it supports incremental parsing for updating parse trees while code is edited in real time, [3] and provides a built-in S-expression query system for analyzing code. [4] Text editors which have official integrations with Tree-sitter include Atom, [5] GNU Emacs, [6] Neovim, [7] Lapce, [8] Zed ...
Lemon is a parser generator, maintained as part of the SQLite project, that generates a look-ahead LR parser (LALR parser) in the programming language C from an input context-free grammar. The generator is quite simple, implemented in one C source file with another file used as a template for output. Lexical analysis is performed externally.
In computer science, a compiler-compiler or compiler generator is a programming tool that creates a parser, interpreter, or compiler from some form of formal description of a programming language and machine. The most common type of compiler-compiler is called a parser generator. [1] It handles only syntactic analysis.
Ragel is a finite-state machine compiler and a parser generator. Initially Ragel supported output for C, C++ and Assembly source code, [4] later expanded to support several other languages including Objective-C, D, Go, Ruby, and Java. [5] Additional language support is also in development. [6]
Coco/R is a compiler generator that takes wirth syntax notation [1]: 6 [note 1] grammars of a source language and generates a scanner and a parser for that language. [1] The scanner works as a deterministic finite automaton. It supports Unicode characters in UTF-8 encoding and can be made case-sensitive or case-insensitive. It can also ...
One delicate issue with LR parser generators is the resolution of conflicts (shift/reduce and reduce/reduce conflicts). With many LR parser generators, resolving conflicts requires the analysis of the parser automaton, which demands some expertise from the user.
It is the lexer generator adopted by projects such as PHP, [4] SpamAssassin, [5] Ninja build system [6] and others. Together with the Lemon parser generator, re2c is used in BRL-CAD. [7] This combination is also used with STEPcode, an implementation of ISO 10303 standard. [8]
Doxygen is written in C++, and consists of around 300,000 source lines of code. For lexical analysis, Lex (or its replacement Flex) is run via approximately 35,000 lines of lex script. The parsing tool Yacc (or its replacement Bison) is also used, but only for minor tasks. The bulk of parsing is done via native C++ code.
