Hello,


Any hints for effectively developing a grammar for a tool where I have
an idea about how the language could/should look like?


I use lex & yacc, have an idea about what the tool/language should do.


But how to clearly develop a grammar for this?


It's a different task to develop a grammar from scratch then using an
already existing grammar and implementing it with lex & yacc.


Any hints on how to go that way? Any tools? Tips & Tricks?


Where to start? Starting with the keywords and the precedences?


TIA,
      Oliver
