◊ DID YOU MEAN SORCERER?
SORCERER
A simple tree {parser generator} by Terence Parr
.
SORCERER is suitable for translation problems lying between
those solved by {code generator} generators and by full
source-to-source translator generators. SORCERER generates
simple, flexible, top-down, tree {parser}s that, in contrast
to code generators, may execute actions at any point during a
tree walk. SORCERER accepts {extended BNF} notation, allows
{predicate}s to direct the tree walk with {semantic} and
{syntactic} context information, and does not rely on any
particular intermediate form, parser generator, or other
pre-existing application.
SORCERER is included in the {Purdue Compiler-Construction Tool
Set}.
