Ratatosk An {SLR parser} generator written in {Gofer} (a {Haskell} variant) by Torben AEgidius Mogensen Ratatosk generates {purely functional} {backtracking} {LR0 grammar} {parser}s (also in Gofer). Even though the {sematic} value of a {production} is a function of the attributes of its right-hand side (and thus apparently purely synthesised), inherited attributes are easily simulated by using {higher-order function}s. {(ftp://ftp.diku.dk/pub/diku/dists/Ratatosk.tar.Z)}. |
