Message-ID: <87pp5es5u4.fsf@adaheads.sparre-andersen.dk> (raw)
I have a project, which requires that I write/generate a parser for an
Ada subset:
+ Only package specifications.
+ No use clauses.
+ No type, object or function declarations (only procedures).
+ Procedures can only have "in" parameters.
I have attempted to use OpenToken to do the parsing, and although it
seems to work fine as a parser, the options for extracting information
from the parse tree are too limited (or maybe I just can't understand
the documentation).
I'm not that fond of generating the parser on-the-fly every time I run
my program. I would prefer to compile the grammar to Ada source text,
which I then could compile into the program.
What open source parsers/parser generators are there for use in Ada
programs? And what are your experiences with them?
So far I've found:
+ OpenToken
+ AdaGOOP
+ ayacc
Greetings,
Jacob
