[转载]语法分析辅助工具Bison parser generator

信息来源：美国 普林斯顿大学

Bison is a general-purpose parser generator that converts a grammar description for an LALR(1) context-free grammar into a C program to parse that grammar. Bison is upward compatible with Yacc: all properly-written Yacc grammars ought to work with Bison with no change.

Bison was written primarily by Robert Corbett; Richard Stallman made it Yacc-compatible. Wilfred Hansen of Carnegie Mellon University added multicharacter string literals and other features.

Bison is distributed by the Free Software Foundation. Latest versions likely to be available at these sites.

这个冰血也说明一下吧，这个工具和Yacc的效果类似，是将文法转换成语法分析器的辅助工具。对于研究编译原理和做该方面的设计的朋友有良好的辅助作用。
