Hi, I'm pleased to announce the release of a Haskell binding to the ANTLR LL(*) parser generator C runtime library. The book on ANTLR is "The Definitive ANTLR Reference: Building Domain-Specific Languages" by Terence Parr: http://www.pragprog.com/titles/tpantlr/the-definitive-antlr-reference ANTLR is a very powerful parser generator. It has support for predicated parsing, where dis-ambiguating semantic predicates can be used to look up information in the symbol table to handle context sensitive programming languages. The lexing and parsing handled in C. The C parser actions call Haskell code to do things such as: - enter data into the symbol table - look up data in the symbol table to implement dis-ambiguating semantic predicates for parsing context sensitive programming languages. - create Abstract Symbol Table entries. The ANTLR parser generator site is at: http://antlr.org/ The Haskell binding to the ANTLR parser generator C runtime library is at: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/antlrc An example based on the implementation of arithmetic expressions example from "Types and Programming Languages" by Benjamin Pierce, chapter 4, is on github: https://github.com/markwright/antlrc-examples/tree/master/src/tapl/arith Building the example is somewhat challenging. I provide a Makefile, however it is specific to my system and will need to be customised. Documentation for the ANTLR C runtime library is at: http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ANTLR3/ANTLR3+Code+Generation+-+C Documentation for the ANTLR parser generator is at: http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ANTLR3/ANTLR+v3+documentation Thanks, Mark
