This repository is a container for Paul Mann's lrstar & dfa parser generator system. The most notable thing about Paul's system is that it works with EBNF grammers and generates the smallest and fastest parsers with automatic AST generation.
The main thrust of this repository is to port the original Windows code to compile & run on standard Linux systems, and to provide comprehensive documentation so that everyone can learn about this great parser generator.
Paul's website is:
And his version of the code can be downloaded from here:

Paul has been working on this technology for, literally, decades. It has been used in commercial software, and if you find this parser generator useful, why don't you drop a line or some cash to Paul at his website. This would be especially nice if you are using his tools in a business setting.
Paul has given his approval for this repository and the changes to make it build & run well on Linux.
