Hi all !


Does an algorithm to decide whether a context free grammar is
ambiguous exist ? If yes, can it state which productions lead the
grammar to be ambiguous ? If not, what is in case of epsilon-free
grammars or/and in case of operator-grammars (grammars which don't
have a non-terminal directly following another non-terminal on the
right hand side of a production [= each two non-terminals of a
productions right hand side are intersected by at least one terminal
symbol]) ?


Thanks,
Martin.
