yacc

all

Generate an LALR parser (in C) with a formal grammar specification file. See also: `bison`.

Examples (3)

Create a file `y.tab.c` containing the C parser code and compile the grammar file with all necessary constant declarations for values. (Constant declarations file `y.tab.h` is created only when the `-d` flag is used)

yacc -d path/to/grammar_file.y

Compile a grammar file containing the description of the parser and a report of conflicts generated by ambiguities in the grammar

yacc -d path/to/grammar_file.y -v

Compile a grammar file, and prefix output filenames with `prefix` instead of `y`

yacc -d path/to/grammar_file.y -v -b prefix
