A C++ Parser toolkit

I've implemented a parser/scanner/text-matcher :) that allows a programmer
to quickly specify a grammar, and to attach actions to productions.


For instance, the following code:


            int name(Parse& P)
            {
            Token t;


                    P, IDENT(t);
                    if( P && StbFind(t) ) {
                          return 1;
                    }
                    return 0;
            }


            int stmt(Parse & P)
            {
            Token t;


                  P, MATCH(name), "=", NUMBER(val);
            }


matches an identifier (i.e. [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z_0-9]*), '=', number string,
but only if identifier is already in the symbol-table.


NOTES: It works on a Sun 4.0 with C++ 3.0. It _MIGHT_ work on some other OSes
I've used mmap() to implement it. Your OS might have the function;
then again it might not. Even if it does, its parameters might not be
the same.


PS. Its also ftp'able as pub/Parse.shar from ftp.cs.cornell.edu
