.SH NAME
|
|
yacc \- an LALR(1) parser generator
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B yacc [ -dlrtv ] [ -b
|
|
.I file_prefix
|
|
.B ] [ -o
|
|

|

|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Yacc
|
|
reads the grammar specification in the file
|
|
.I filename
|
|
and generates an LR(1) parser for it.
|
|
The parsers consist of a set of LALR(1) parsing tables and a driver routine
|
|
written in the C programming language.
|
|
.I Yacc
|
|
normally writes the parse tables and the driver routine to the file
|
|
.IR y.tab.c.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.RS
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB-b \fIfile_prefix\fR
|
|
The
|
|
.B -b
|
|
option changes the prefix prepended to the output file names to
|
|
the string denoted by
|
|
.IR file_prefix.
|
|
The default prefix is the character
|
|
.IR y.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -d
|
|
The \fB-d\fR option causes the header file
|
|
.IR y.tab.h
|
|
to be written.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -l
|
|
If the
|
|
.B -l
|
|
option is not specified,
|
|
.I yacc
|
|
will insert #line directives in the generated code.
|
|
The #line directives let the C compiler relate errors in the
|
|
generated code to the user's original code.
|
|
If the \fB-l\fR option is specified,
|
|
.I yacc
|
|
will not insert the #line directives.
|
|
Any #line directives specified by the user will be retained.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB-o \fIoutput_filename\fR
|
|
The
|
|
.B -o
|
|
option causes
|
|
.I yacc
|
|
to write the generated code to
|
|
.IR output_filename
|
|
instead of the default file,
|
|
.IR y.tab.c .
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB-p \fIsymbol_prefix\fR
|
|
The
|
|
.B -p
|
|
option changes the prefix prepended to yacc-generated symbols to
|
|
the string denoted by
|
|
.IR symbol_prefix.
|
|
The default prefix is the string
|
|
.IR yy.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -r
|
|
The
|
|
.B -r
|
|
option causes
|
|
.I yacc
|
|
to produce separate files for code and tables. The code file
|
|
is named
|
|
.IR y.code.c,
|
|
and the tables file is named
|
|
.IR y.tab.c.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -t
|
|
The
|
|
.B -t
|
|
option changes the preprocessor directives generated by
|
|
.I yacc
|
|
so that debugging statements will be incorporated in the compiled code.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -v
|
|
The
|
|
.B -v
|
|
option causes a human-readable description of the generated parser to
|
|
be written to the file
|
|
.IR y.output.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the environment variable TMPDIR is set, the string denoted by
|
|
TMPDIR will be used as the name of the directory where the temporary
|
|
files are created.

.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
If there are rules that are never reduced, the number of such rules is
|
|
reported on standard error.
|
|
If there are any LALR(1) conflicts, the number of conflicts is reported
|
|
on standard error.
