 Recursive descent parser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The running time of a recursive descent parser in the general case is exponential, although there is a modification to the algorithm called a packrat parser, which trades memory for linear time.
Although context-free grammars are commonly used to formalize the syntax of the language recognized by a recursive descent parser (as in the example above), an alternate and more direct way to formalize recursive descent parsing is via parsing expression grammars, which model the structure and behavior of typical recursive descent parsers directly.
To determine which rule should be applied in case of a certain terminal the same algorithm can be used as the one for constructing the parsing table of an LL parser.

 Elkhound and Elsa
Accent is parser generator based on a combination of the Earley and LL parsing algorithms.
The parsers it generates use the Generalized LR (GLR) parsing algorithm.
ANTLR is an LL(k) parser generator with built-in lexical analyzer.

 [No title]
Lalr is a LALR(1) parser generator accepting grammars writ- ten in extended BNF notation which may be augmented by semantic actions expressed by statements of the target language.
Therefore, it is possible to have several scanners and parsers in one program.
In case of LR-conflicts unlike other tools Lalr provides not only informa- tion about an internal state consisting of a set of items but it prints a derivation tree which is much more useful to analyze the problem.

 GOLD Parsing System - Left-to-Right Parsing
Recursive Descent Parsers and LL parsers are examples of top-down parsers and LR parsers are examples of bottom-up parsers.
As the parser accepts a sequence of tokens, it determines, based on this information, when the grammar's respective rules are complete and verifies the syntactic correctness of the token sequence.
LR parser generators construct these tables by analyzing the grammar and determining all the possible "states" the system can have when parsing.

 LR parser - Free Encyclopedia
An LR parser is a type of parser for context-free grammars that is very commonly used by computer programming language compilers (and other associated tools).
Of all parsers that scan their input left to right, LR parsers detect syntactic errors (that is, when their input does not conform to the grammar) as soon as it possible to do.
In typical use when we refer to an LR parser we mean a particular parser capable of recognising a particular language specified by a context free grammar.

 Introduction
Parsers perform bottom-up, left-to-right evaluations of parse trees using semantic actions to compute values as they do so.
Otherwise, a parser may hang waiting for input in the case of a syntax error.
A parser tries to recover from a syntax error by making a single token insertion, deletion, or substitution near the point in the input stream at which the error was detected.

 Why Use ANTLR?
Jikes Parser Generator is a parser generator that accepts as input an annotated description for a language grammar and produces text files suitable for inclusion in a parser for that language.
Tree parsers read in a grammar that describes an abstract syntax tree that is generated by a compiler front end or compiler middle pass and generates a tree walker that processes the trees.
Briefly, a parser generator is a program that reads a grammar that describes a language and outputs source code (in language like C, C++, or Java) that will recognize the language described by the grammar.

 Parsers, Part III: A Parser For The Java Language
The Java grammar is written for the 1.33 version of the ANTLR parser generator, which generates parsers implemented in C++.
As you will see in the Java grammar, LL(k) parsers have lots of context information (that is, "What have I parsed so far?") whereas LALR(1) parsers do not because they must delay acceptance of a rule until they have seen the entire input matched for that rule.
This article includes a Java grammar, the ANTLR parser generator (part of PCCTS, the Purdue Compiler-Construction Tool Set) used to generate a Java parser from the grammar, the source code for the browser, and associated executables for Win32.

 Free Compiler Construction Tools: Lexers, Parser Generators, Optimizers (thefreecountry.com)
The GOLD Parser is a parser generator (compiler-compiler) that generates parsers that use a Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA) for the tokenizer and a LALR(1) for the state machine.
These compiler construction kits, parser generators, lexical analyzer (analyser) (lexers) generators, code optimzers (optimizer generators), provide the facility where you define your language and allow the compiler creation tools to generate the source code for your software.
Lalr generates table-driven C or Modula-2 LALR parsers from grammars written in extended BNF notation, while Ell does the same for LL(1) parsers.

 The Jacke Parser-Generator Tool
Parsers are ubiquitous in computing, providing the interface between a convenient, user-friendly front-end syntax and an internal format of input data.
For many practically useful classes of grammars a corresponding parser can be derived automatically: Given the specification of a grammar in, e.g., Backus-Naur Form (BNF), a program which yields a parse tree of an input string can be generated automatically.
The area of building parsers was one of the earliest studied in Computer Science, and is rather well understood [1,2].

 Master Thesis Presentation - Jesper Antonsson
Parsers with stronger recognition than the standard LALR(1) parsers generated by tools like yacc and Bison can simplify compiler and programming language design and also allow more freedom when choosing language constructs.
By implementing two of the more interesting algorithms in Java, it is shown that it is possible to implement stronger parsers with moderate programming effort.
Stronger algorithms exists, but are seldomly used in programming language compilers.

 Building Development Tools
LALR parsers are a simplified version of LR parsers (L==parse input from left to right, R==make decisions at the right edge).
The parser reads input symbols until it has "A B C", for example, at which point it decides that it has matched the first alternative of the rule.
The context of an LR or LALR parser consists of all grammar alternatives consistent with the previously seen input.

 Bison 1.875
Whenever the last two parsers merge, reverting to the single-parser case, Bison resolves all the outstanding actions either by precedences given to the grammar rules involved, or by performing both actions, and then calling a designated user-defined function on the resulting values to produce an arbitrary merged result.
Each of the resulting parsers can again split, so that at any given time, there can be any number of possible parses being explored.
Consider a different input string for this parser:

 grammar : Java Glossary
However, LALR(1) parsers have a problem with a "dangling else", but this problem can be resolved with a kludge to remove the ambiguity of whether the algorithm should shift a token onto the stack or should reduce tokens on the stack by using a grammar rule at a particular state.
Very simple languages can be analysed with LL(1) parsers, Left-to-right scan, Leftmost derivation.
It may have to try a great many possible patterns called production rules in the process of analysing.

 7.4. Conflict Tips
Full LR(1) (the `L' is the direction in which the input is scanned, the `R' is the way in which the parse is built, and the `1' is the number of tokens of lookahead) generates a parser with many states, and is therefore large and slow.
SLR(1) (simple LR(1)) is a cut-down version of LR(1) which generates parsers with roughly one-tenth as many states, but lacks the power to parse many grammars (it finds conflicts in grammars which have none under LR(1)).
It will select the reduction rule uppermost in the grammar file, so if you really must have a reduce/reduce conflict you can select which rule will be used by putting it first in your grammar file.

 LALR parser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Look-Ahead LR parsers or LALR parsers are a specialized form of LR parsers that can deal with more context-free grammars than Simple LR parsers but less than LR(1) parsers can.
It is a very popular type of parser because it gives a good trade-off between the number of grammars it can deal with and the size of the parsing tables it requires.
It is these types of parsers that are generated by compiler-compilers such as yacc and GNU bison.

 Beaver - a LALR Parser Generator
The issue will quickly be resolved by the parser not being able to ever shift the erroneous token, yet the syntax error will be reported after one or more incorrect reductions.
This information can be handy to analyze why parser performs certain actions while parsing a source.
If, on the other hand, errors are present in parts of the specification where no reasonable substitute can be applied or the grammar itself has problems, the compiler will print error messages and a parser will not be generated.

 Canonical LR parser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LR(1) parsers can deal with a very large class of grammars but their parsing tables are often very big.
This can often be solved by merging item sets if they are identical except for the follows, which results in so-called LALR parsers.
A canonical LR parser or LR(1) parser is an LR parser whose parsing tables are constructed in a similar way as with LR(0) parsers except that the items in the item sets also contain a follow, i.e., a terminal that is expected by the parser after the right-hand side of the rule.
