Racc
DESCRIPTION:
Racc is a LALR(1) parser generator.
It is written in Ruby itself, and generates Ruby program.
NOTE: Ruby 1.8.x comes with Racc runtime module. You
can run your parsers generated by racc 1.4.x out of the
box.
Requirement
* Ruby 1.8.x or later.
Installation
gem install:
$ gem install racc
setup.rb install:
Type this in the top directory of the extracted archive:
$ ruby setup.rb config
$ ruby setup.rb setup
($ su)
# ruby setup.rb install
You can install Racc into your favorite directory by giving
options to setup.rb. e.g.
$ ruby setup.rb config --prefix=/usr
For details, try "ruby setup.rb --help".
If you don't have C Compiler
----------------------------
You can install Racc without C compilers. Type following
command in config phase.
$ ruby setup.rb config --without-ext
Testing Racc
Racc comes with simple calculator. To compile this, on shell:
$ racc -o calc calc.y
This process costs few seconds (or less). Then type:
$ ruby calc
... Does it work?
For details of Racc, see HTML documents placed under 'rdoc/en/'
and sample grammar files under 'sample/'.

Racc is distributed under the same terms of ruby.
