preccx
PRECC eXtended is an infinite-lookahead higher-order compiler-compiler for languages with context-dependent grammars. The generated code is ANSI C and ANSI C++; the code will compile and run natively under either C or C++. Specification scripts are extended BNF, with both inherited and synthetic attributes allowed. Scripts can be compiled in separate modules and linked later. The technology is essentially LL(oo).

- 23 Sep 2007 14:33
Changes: The compiler compiler's internal sequent production has been improved to allow trailing \x and be more comprehensible to the maintainer.

Changes: A "debian" subdirectory has been added in order to allow the building of deb packages from the source archive.
- 16 Jun 2007 23:00
Changes: Production rule prototypes are allowed to be declared as needed inline in a grammar script ("@foo(x,y)") instead of generating all the necessary prototypes in a separate output file. Data constructor/deconstructor notation was introduced for use in making and consuming complicated data structures inside grammar rules ("+{foo}\x ... -{bar(x)}").

Changes: A problem with anchor after cut ("! ^") in a grammar specification was fixed.
