Description-en: Compiler front-end generator based on Labelled BNF
The BNF Converter is a compiler construction tool that generates a
compiler front-end and a readable syntax description document from a
Labelled BNF grammar. It was originally written to generate Haskell,
but it can now also be used for generating Java, C++, and C.
.
To process Haskell output, you need the Glorious Glasgow Haskell
Compiler (virtual package ghc), the Happy parser generator (package
happy) and the Alex scanner generator (package alex).
.
To process Java output, you need a Java compiler and virtual machine,
the CUP parser generator (package cup) and the JLex scanner generator
(package jlex).
.
To process C or C++ output, you need a C or C++ compiler,
respectively, the Bison parser generator (package bison) and the flex
scanner generator (package flex).
.
To process the generated documents, you need LaTeX (packages
tetex-base, tetex-bin, etc.).
