Folks!


I'd appreciate if you could give me some opinions on which C grammar
is "better" than the others for building a compiler. I'm planning to
build one for my compilers course. I have some experience using the
K&R grammar though not for a compiler; I used it to build a C program
database (an AST representation in a LISPish style).


I've heard of/seen the following grammars:


K&R
James Roskind's
The one in Harbison and Steele's C: A reference manual.


Thanks for your time.
