Coco/R

A program by Hanspeter Moessenboeck

which generates {recursive

descent parsers} and their associated {scanners} from

{attributed grammars} (LL1). Coco/R can {bootstrap} itself to

generate its own driver, parser, scanner and semantic

evaluator from an attributed grammar included in the

distribution.

Versions exist for generating {Oberon}, {Modula-2}, {Pascal},

{C} and {C::} source, and a {Java} implementation is about to

be released. Modula-2 versions exist as self extracting .EXE

files for {MS-DOS}, and as tar.Z files for {Unix}.

Version: 1.34 (1994-10-13)

Coco/R was ported to {Modula-2} by Marc Brandis, Christof

Brass and Pat Terry.
