Racc

DESCRIPTION:

Racc is a LALR(1) parser generator.
It is written in Ruby itself, and generates Ruby program.

NOTE: Ruby 1.8.x comes with Racc runtime module.  You
can run your parsers generated by racc 1.4.x out of the
box.

Requirement

 *  Ruby 1.8.x or later.
(*) make and C compiler.

Installation

gem install:

  $ gem install racc

setup.rb install:

Type this in the top directory of the extracted archive:

  $ ruby setup.rb config
  $ ruby setup.rb setup
 ($ su)
  # ruby setup.rb install

You can install Racc into your favorite directory by giving
options to setup.rb. e.g.

  $ ruby setup.rb config --prefix=/usr

For details, try "ruby setup.rb --help".

If you don't have C Compiler
----------------------------

You can install Racc without C compilers. Type following
command in config phase.

  $ ruby setup.rb config --without-ext

Testing Racc

Racc comes with simple calculator. To compile this, on shell:

    $ racc -o calc calc.y

This process costs few seconds (or less). Then type:

    $ ruby calc

... Does it works?
