There's A grammar there. It's for explanation of the language, and is a
direct duplicate of Appendix A of ISO/IEC 14882:1998 (or in other words, the
C++ standard).


It's not LALR(1), nor is it LL(k), and it isn't suitable for direct
implementation by any method. At least, I found that it wasn't.


My copy of Stroustrup has now lost pages 848-9 (from memory) due to being
overly referenced!
