ANTLR: ANother Tool for Language Recognition

---++ Features

ANTLR is a parser generator. 

	* Generates Java, C#, or C++ code.

	* Accepts the class of LL(k) grammars

	* Produces recursive-descent parsers

	* Includes mini grammar base, as well as several example applications of ANTLR

	* Tree grammars which let you use grammar constructs to specify how to walk your AST. It also has a notation for building and transforming your AST.

---++ Applications

A complete skeleton of an ANTLR based transformation system for ANSI C and C with GCC extesions can be seen at http://www.codetransform.com/gcc.html.  Included are a parser, tree parser (to be "grammar subclassed" for your transformation passes), and a tree emitter to take your tree back to text.

---++ History

Formerly part of PCCTS. See also SORCERER.
