-Bison is an extremely useful and very fast CompilerCompiler. It takes an [EBNF] grammar, a small snippet of [C] code for each rule, and a source of tokens and generates a table based parser. The grammar may not contain right recursive rules. The parser generated is usually paired with a lexer generated by [Flex]. The generated parser is a FiniteStateMachine- --a big function with lots of [Goto ]s.
