Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports->billf I'll look into this. State Changed From-To: open->closed Imported, thanks. |
RecDescent incrementally generates top-down recursive-descent text parsers from simple yacc-like grammar specifications. It provides: * Regular expressions or literal strings as terminals (tokens), * Multiple (non-contiguous) productions for any rule, * Repeated, optional and alternate subrules within productions, * Late-bound (run-time dispatched) subrules * Full access to Perl within actions specified as part of the grammar, * Simple automated error reporting during generation and parsing, * The ability to commit to, uncommit to, or reject particular productions during a parse, * Incremental extension of the parsing grammar (even during a parse), * The ability to retrieve the generated parsing code. How-To-Repeat: Install the port ;)
