Re: Grammar with precedence rules

Hmm... I must confess that I didn't fully understand what you're trying
to achieve.
One thing that could be done is to use a Tomita (Earley) parser and use
the priorities to resolve any ambiguities. (Never having used such a
parser, I can't say whether the parser will give you the information you
need to trace the ambiguity to a rule though.)
BTW I'm not sure whether it's a good idea. Prioritizing stuff means that
you'll never see any unintentional ambiguities. And to make sure that
there are no unwanted ambiguities left, you'll have to thoroughly
understand the grammar, so you'll have to do it the hard way anyway.


Or did I overlook something?

That link won't work, anybody interested in the book please try
