5* Skeletons
6Bison skeletons: the general shapes of the different parser kinds,
7that are specialized for specific grammars by the bison program.

9Currently, the supported skeletons are:

11- yacc.c
12 It used to be named bison.simple: it corresponds to C Yacc
13 compatible LALR(1) parsers.
14
15- lalr1.cc
2ca1136c
AD
16 Produces a C++ parser class.
17
18- lalr1.java
19 Produces a Java parser class.

21- glr.c
22 A Generalized LR C parser based on Bison's LALR(1) tables.
23

AD
24- glr.cc
25 A Generalized LR C++ parser. Actually a C++ wrapper around glr.c.

27These skeletons are the only ones supported by the Bison team.
28Because the interface between skeletons and the bison program is not
29finished, *we are not bound to it*. In particular, Bison is not
30mature enough for us to consider that ``foreign skeletons'' are
31supported.

38This directory contains XSLT programs that transform Bison's XML output
39into various formats.
40
41- bison.xsl
42 A library of routines used by the other XSLT programs.
43
44- xml2dot.xsl
45 Conversion into GraphViz's dot format.
