Description:

SmaCC (Smalltalk Compiler-Compiler) is a freely available parser generator for Smalltalk.
Use this package if you want to develop a new parser/scanner/compiler.

It is a replacement for the T-Gen parser generator. T-Gen has several limitations
that make it difficult to produce parsers. SmaCC overcomes T-Gen's limitations.
For example, SmaCC can generate parsers for ambiguous grammars and grammars
with overlapping tokens. Both of these are not possible using T-Gen.
In addition to handling more grammars than T-Gen, SmaCC has a smaller runtime
than T-Gen and is faster than T-Gen.
