  • preccx — (tool)   (Pre-C-Compiler eXtended) An infinite-lookahead compiler-compiler by Peter Breuer <[email protected]> for context dependent grammars. PRECCX generates ANSI C. Specification scripts are in very EBNF with inherited attributes and synthetic attributes allowed. Scripts can be compiled in separate modules and linked later. Meta-production rules are allowed. Grammars can be essentially LL(oo) with optimisations. A converter for yacc scripts is available. Versions 1.xx were known as "PRECC" and only had unbounded lookahead. The 2.xx series added the "X" for "extended" and featured higher order parameterisation (inherited attributes). Version 2.42 integrates inherited and synthesized attributes by using a "monadic" model for parsing. You can now synthsize attributes during the pass and inherit them in the remainder, e.g. @ foo = bar\x gum(x) synthesises an x in bar and passes it down into gum as a parameter. Useful for @ what = ?\x did_you_say(x), for example. It now compiles into C instead of running an interpreter at parse-time. Version 2.42 runs under Unix and MS-DOS.
