   Iburg
  
      A program by Christopher W. Fraser ,
      David R. Hanson and Todd A. Proebsting
      that generates a fast tree parser.
  
      Iburg is compatible with {Burg}.   Both programs accept a
      cost-augmented tree {grammar} and emit a {C} program that
      discovers an optimal parse of trees in the language described
      by the grammar.   They have been used to construct fast optimal
      instruction selectors for use in code generation.   Burg uses
      {BURS}.   Iburg's matchers do {dynamic programming} at compile
      time.
