Hi,


I have a expression parsing grammar. I want to know if there is a
ready made tool (preferably open-source) that parse this grammar and
then generate all possible valid inputs for this grammar.


Also, any other inputs on how I could go about testing of such a
grammar would be appreciated


Thanks in advance
Regards,
Aniket
[This question has come up before. Most grammars accept an infinite
language so you can't test them exhaustively, but I've seen programs
that walk the grammar tree and emit random syntactically valid sentences.
