SYNTAX, a production-quality scanner and parser generator, produces
fully-reentrant scanners and parsers suitable for running in a multi
threaded environment. Indeed, all the tables, stacks and other static
and dynamic data that define e.g. a parser are grouped in a structure
that is passed to the generic and reentrant table interpreter, so that
multiple instances of the same or different parsers can coexist.


SYNTAX was developed at INRIA by Pierre Boullier
<Pierre.Boullier@inria.fr>. Contact him directly for more information.
