Keywords: right-recursive c-grammar Message-ID: <428@erc3ba.UUCP> Date: 14 Jun 88 20:16:59 GMT Organization: AT&T ERC, Princeton NJ Lines: 14 The ANSI C yacc parser written by Jeff Lee contains right recursive rules. For example: declaration_specifiers : storage_class_specifier | storage_class_specifier declaration_specifiers etc. ; Is this right recursive grammar required by the ANSI C committee? Can the above rule be written left recursive and still conform to the ANSI C standard? ___ Rich (erc3ba!rsc)
