3 This directory contains data needed by Bison.
4
5 * Skeletons
6 Bison skeletons: the general shapes of the different parser kinds,
7 that are specialized for specific grammars by the bison program.
8
9 Currently, the supported skeletons are:
10
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
16 Produces a C++ parser class.
17
18 - lalr1.java
19 Produces a Java parser class.
20
21 - glr.c
22 A Generalized LR C parser based on Bison's LALR(1) tables.
23
24 - glr.cc
25 A Generalized LR C++ parser. Actually a C++ wrapper around glr.c.
26
27 These skeletons are the only ones supported by the Bison team.
28 Because the interface between skeletons and the bison program is not
29 finished, *we are not bound to it*. In particular, Bison is not
30 mature enough for us to consider that ``foreign skeletons'' are
31 supported.
32
33 * m4sugar
34 This directory contains M4sugar, sort of an extended library for M4,
35 which is used by Bison to instantiate the skeletons.
36
37 * xslt
38 This directory contains XSLT programs that transform Bison's XML output
39 into 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.
46
47 - xml2text.xsl
48 Conversion into text.
49
50 - xml2xhtml.xsl
51 Conversion into XHTML.
