SORCERER definition
tool A simple tree
parser generator by Terence Parr
parrt@s1.arc.umn.edu.
SORCERER is suitable for translation problems lying between those solved by
code generator generators and by full source-to-source translator generators. SORCERER generates simple, flexible, top-down, tree
parsers that, in contrast to code generators, may execute actions at any point during a tree walk. SORCERER accepts
extended BNF notation, allows
predicates to direct the tree walk with
semantic and
syntactic context information, and does not rely on any particular intermediate form, parser generator, or other pre-existing application.
SORCERER is included in the
Purdue Compiler-Construction Tool Set.
