Michigan Terminal System - Manuals - University of British Columbia Computing Centre - CLPARSER: A Command Language Parsing Facility

Abstract

This writeup describes a facility that assists in the development of programs which perform some kind of syntactic analysis of input. The facility consists of two parts: a self-contained program called the table generator, and a library of subroutines called the parser. The original version of this program was based in part on the Spires parser and grammar analyzer. They have been completely rewritten (in PLUS) and extensively modified for use in MTS. This writeup corresponds to Version 2 of the parser and table generator as implemented in July 1981.
