PRECCX (PRECC eXtended) is an infinite-lookahead compiler compiler for
context dependent grammars. The generated code is ANSI C.
Specification scripts are in very EBNF with inherited and synthetic
attributes allowed. Scripts can be compiled in separate modules, and
linked together later. Meta-production rules allowed. The technology
is essentially LL(oo) with optimizations. A converter for yacc scripts
is available.


Information on the PRECC compiler-compiler is now available via the
World Wide Web under
