Abstract

This paper presents a compiler description language and its implementation Coco/R (Compiler Compiler for Recursive Descent). Coco/R reads an attributed EBNF grammar of a language and translates it into a recursive descent parser and a scanner for that language. The programmer has to supply a main program that calls the parser and semantic modules that are called from within the parser.
