number LR(1) vs LALR(1) Itemsets for a grammar

I want to know how the number of itemsets depend upon the grammar.
Roughly it depends upon the number of production rules and the form of
the production rules (how much recursion is there ets). If anybody can
give me some more info it will be helpful.


I need this for testing my program. I have implemented a LR(1) parse
table generator. Which, when executed for a C grammar gave me around
2350 LR(1) itemsets. There is no way to check this number except doing
manually which is again not feasible. Does anybody has LR(1) parser
generator?? If yes can I get some rough ideas about the numbers. I
will provide the grammar i worked on, if needed.


PS: The grammar used is a grammar for standard C language. And also if
anybody has some grammar and the corresponding itemsets. Please send
it to me for testing.


Thanks
