Hi all,


I need some help to figure out which parsers can process grammars like the
one below.


I found this grammar in a popular compilers book (Ambiguities from
Special-Case Productions):




E -> E sub E sup E


E -> E sub E


E -> E sup E


E -> { E }


E -> c




I think according to this grammar the string "c sub c sup c" has three
interpretations (3 parse trees).


Which GLR Parser should I select to take all the correct interpretations of
such a string?


Any references of how such ambiguities are handled in a GLR or is it a
simple & usual case for such a parser?


Thanks in advance,
Ev. Drikos
