Like Trass3r said, that's lexing-only right now. > Nope, Trass3r is talking about a grammar for the D language itself, > whereas Goldie is a parser generator for D (which generates parsers for a > given grammar). > Technically speaking, Goldie doesn't actually generate parsers, it has one grammar-independent parser that it uses for all grammars (fairly characteristic for LALR(1), AIUI). Although, in the static-style it does make a slight custom modification to the parser and lexer so that each token emitted is properly typed. Which I suppose amounts to six-of-one, half-dozen-of-the-other... > Unfortunately, I only remember someone working on one (and filing some > related bugs), I lost the details as well. > Yea, I remember that too. Someone took all the BNF sections from D's docs on digitalmars.com, put them together, and filled in some missing/erroneous parts. Maybe it's on wiki4d?
