SGLR: a Scannerless Generalized LR parser
Interprets parse tables generated from an SDF2 syntax definition. Scannerless means that no scanner
is used to tokenize the input stream; the parse table contains enough information for both the

Coco/R compiler generator
Coco/R combines the functionality of the well-known UNIX tools lex and yacc, to form an extremely
easy to use compiler generator that generates recursive descent parsers, their associated scanners,
and (in some versions) a driver program, from attributed grammars (written using EBNF syntax with
attributes and semantic actions) which conform to the restrictions imposed by LL(1) parsing (rather
than LALR parsing, as allowed by yacc).
