I've been searching the literature for methods of compressing LR(1)
(or LALR(1)) parse tables but I haven't found very much.


I would think there would be a fair amount of research in this area.


Algorithms to compress finite state machine transition tables would
also be of interest.


Any help would be most appreciated.


By the way I am developing a LR(1) parse table compression algorithm
of my own and so would like to compare it to what's available.


Thanks

but doesn't really describe it. -John]
