Wanted: Ada Parsers

Wanted: Ada Parsers

[Roy Feldman]

Does anybody know where I can obtain source code for a YACC parser for
ADA (preferably by anonymous FTP).  I have recently begun working on a
research project which involves the analysis and synthesis of ADA
programs.  It would be very helpful if I could avoid having to build a
complete ADA parser from scratch.  This work is being funded by a
research contract from NASA Marshall Space Flight Center.  Any and all
help I receive in my search will be greatly appreciated.

   Thanks in advance,

           Roy

Try the SIMTEL20 Ada Software repository (ftp 26.2.0.74).  I think there
is a file listing in pd2:<ada>ada.crc or pd2:<ada>ada.crclst.

The AJPO site (ftp ajpo.sei.cmu.edu) should at least have references if
not the actual code.  If no code, scan back issues of Ada-today for
references.

I'm pretty sure the UCal/Irvine Arcadia project built Ada yacc and lex
in '88 or so.  I don't remember any Arcadia names or addresses.  If you
can't get an Arcadia contact from anyone, call the CMU/SEI transition
team.

Thanks to Karl Nyberg's "Ada: Sources & Resources," here's an Arcadia
address: arcadia-software@ics.uci.edu (714-856-4121).

The Arcadia Project can be reached at alex-info@ics.uci.edu or
ayacc-infor@ics.uci.edu.  The mail address is 


Arcadia Project
Department of Information and Computer Science
University of California, Irvine
Irvine, Ca 92717


The software is not available through ftp as far as I know.  It is 
available at a very reasonable price however.  Alex is based on
lex and ayacc on yacc.  I have not used them yet so I can't vouch
for them.

A yacc compatible grammar for Ada was developed by Herman Fischer
at Litton Data Systems, Van Nuys, CA.
An updated version of this grammar is available in the SIMTEL20 Ada
Software Repository (ftp wsmr-simtel20.army.mil).
The grammar is found in PD2:<ADA.EXTERNAL-TOOLS>GRAM2.SRC
It is approximately 80K.

If you want a yacc parser written in Ada, consider the ayacc parser
developed by the Arcadia project at Univ Calif at Irvine.
ayacc is not available via ftp -- it is bundled with a bunch of
other tools from the Arcadia project.  It isn't free, but you can't
complain about $75.00 for a mag-tape full of software.
Contact Arcadia project at arcadia-software@isc.uci.edu.

				Hope this helps,
