Programming Languages Grammar House (BNF like grammars)

Individual grammars can have different license in the origin !

Notice: The online railroad generator has changed to IPV6 only and soemone else hosted it on an IPV4 address.

The railroad generator project can be found here https://github.com/GuntherRademacher/rr .

Initially this project is using a Javascript (QuickJS) program that converts the tree-sitter generated "src/grammar.json" to an EBNF format that can be used on (IPV6) https://www.bottlecaps.de/rr/ui or (IPV4) https://rr.red-dove.com/ui (some grammars still require a bit of manual editing the generated EBNF, most of the ones here were manually edited just enough to alow then be viewed as rail road diagram).

To view the rail road diagram copy the EBNF file and paste on (IPV6) https://www.bottlecaps.de/rr/ui or (IPV4) https://rr.red-dove.com/ui in the Edit Grammar tab then switch to the View Diagram tab.

Short guide of the equivalences between tree-sitter Javascript notation and EBNF from rail road diagram (notice that rr does some optmizations and simplifications that help tidy the grammar):

seq(a,b,c) <=> a b c
repeat(a) <=> a*
repeat1(a) <=> a+
choice(a,b,c) <=> a | b | c
optional(a) <=> a?
commaSep(a) <=> a (',' a)*

There is a script (QuickJS) to convert "src/grammar.json" to SQL json2sql.js that was used to generated and manually fixed a SQL file with all "src/grammar.json" for the grammars on this repository.

Compiler Design in C

Free PDF book + sources, 984 pp.

• https://holub.com/compiler/

Originally published in 1990 by Prentice-Hall Inc., Compiler Design in C, by [Allen Holub], is an excellent book on the topic. Written in plain language, this book takes the reader through a 984 pages long journey on how to build a compiler, step by step, introducing and explaining each compiler component in detail, and providing source code examples of each implementation step.

Since the book is now out of print, the author has generously made it available for free download on his website, in PDF format, including all the source code files and the release notes.

TypeError: std.open is not a function

Was really hopeful this would work! Unfortunately, there isn't a package.json file so I'm not sure where you're importing std from. I tried the package on npmjs.com and received the following error upon running the script: TypeError: std.open is not a function
