PCCTS: The Purdue Compiler Construction Tool Set. This package contains the PCCTS tools (antlr and dlg) by Terence Parr et al. What is PCCTS? PCCTS is a parser generator much like Flex or yacc, however it is 1) more powerful, 2) easier to use, 3) generates code that is both human readable and human-debuggable, 4) generates more of a complete compiler than just a parser [it handles Abstract Syntax Trees, for example], and is entirely in the public domain. PCCTS can also be used in conjunction with Sorcerer, which is an automatic tree-walker generator. Sorcerer is available as a seperate archive. BeOS Changes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've made minor changes to the makefiles and recompiled, and tested the resulting executables with a few of the examples provided. No changes to the sources were required. To recompile antlr and dlg, go to the "pccts" directory and type make -f makefile.Be I've included all of the original files from the distribution, in addition to the compiled executables. This does not include the PCCTS reference manual. For that, you have to go to the original site, which is: ftp.parr-research.com This includes a lot of other PCCTS-related information, including contributed grammars from other PCCTS users. -- Talin (Talin@Lightside.com)
