low demands when building software is a good thing, at least initially, if thinking in perspective of an option when aros and its software is able to build on itself, if even only remotely practicable on x64/smp. huge dependencies of kind e java or whatever are a big show stopper for a small system that tries to sustain itself.

@sTix: AFAIR generated parsers don't need Java or other technologies. You should be able to use them (and compile, if needed) on other platforms/systems, like an Amiga/-like o.s..

The only issue with ANTLR should be the platform where you actually play/tinker/generate the parser.

Thanks everyone for your encouraging words. If you find any bugs, please let me know!

This is Amiga and we're old, easy and cool don't exist here

On a serious note; Yacc is pretty much the C of parser generators, available everywhere since the beginning of time and difficult to beat performance wise. Using something more fancy on Amiga-like systems is futile; you could end up without the tools you need any day due to the pace of development (and with something like ANTLR, we can't even get started since we lack Java). Yacc / Bison is safer, the GNU people are even more conservative than we are.

If you like writing parsers, then take a look at ANTLR: it's way easier and cooler than YACC.

GREAT WORK!!!

Yes, Yacc is great fun!

A YACC implementation, well done!
Indeed, this was on my TODO list

Great tool! congrats for the job

Nice, let me know if you run into problems.

ive posted the question on dev ml how to proceed with this. ill try to build and confirm it working asap, picking up from where we were last time.
