Lex and Yacc for Ada

Lex and Yacc for Ada

[Simon Tuffs]

Tim king (tking@gumby.wisc.edu) asked recently about LEX and YACC tools for
Ada.  Around eighteen months ago there was some discussion on this bulletin
board about ALEX and YACCA, being developed by some people in Finland (unless
I am mistaken).

I am interested in obtaining further information about ALEX and YACCA,
can anyone out there help me?

LEX and YACC for Ada

[cis.ohio-state.edu!zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu!cs.utexas.edu!asuvax!ennews!]

I know that this has been requested before but I do not remember
seeing a responce.  Is there a (public domain) version of LEX and
YACC that generates Ada output?

There is at least the following yacc, called YACCA, written in Ada and
generating Ada publicly available via ftp. The machine is kaarne.cs.tut.fi
(130.230.3.2). The directory is pub/src/ASENTO. See also Ada Letters Jan/Feb
1993, page 60.
