INTRODUCTION
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
LLgen is a LL(1) parser in the style of yacc. It will generate an efficient
|
|
recursive descent parser for Extended Context-Free grammars, with an optional
|
|
non-correcting error recovery mechanism.
|
|
|
|
For more information, see the white papers in the doc directory. (You may need
|
|
to build LLgen first to be able to read them.)
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
LLgen depends on the following software:
|
|
|
|
gcc: currently, LLgen only builds on gcc, due largely to the lack of any
|
|
non-gcc test systems. Please contact the support mailing list (see
|
|
below) if this is a problem.
|
|
|
|
groff: used to build the documentation.
|
|
|
|
LLgen uses Prime Mover as its build tool. To build, do:
|
|
|
|
./pm install
|
|
|
|
This will compile LLgen and install it into /usr/local (which you must be able
|
|
to write to). If you want it installed elsewhere, use -D to change the PREFIX
|
|
variable:
|
|
|
|
./pm -DPREFIX="/home/dg/" install
|
|
|
|
(If you do change the prefix, you must supply it whenever you invoke pm,
|
|
whether you're installing or just building. And there must be a trailing / in
|
|
the path you give it.)
|
|
|
|
Invoking ./pm by itself will compile it but not install it; look in the bin
|
|
directory for an image of the installation directory.
|
|
|
|
USING LLGEN
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Please see the white papers in PREFIX/share/doc/LLgen, or the man page (called
|
|
LLgen).
|
|
|
|
LLgen itself uses a parser compiled in LLgen, so you can study the files in
|
|
the src directory for examples. If you wish to modify LLgen's own parser, the
|
|
bootstrap.sh script will update LLgen's source from the parser *.g files.
|
|
LLgen itself may then be recompiled with pm in the usual way. (Although you
|
|
may want to keep a copy of a known good LLgen around in case you break
|
|
something!)
