Recursive Descent parsers can automatically generated from LL(1)
grammars.
However it not difficult to write recursive parsers by hand
for many grammars which are not LL(1).
I am interested in classes of grammars that are not LL(1) but
for which it is possible to generate recursive parsers automatically.
A quick search using google led me to one paper by Terrance Parr
(called LL(*) Parsing) but that is all that I have found.


Can anyone point me to papers or parser generator tools that
that deal with generating recursive parsers from non-LL(1)
grammars?


Thanks
