## 4 Converting yacc or bison Grammars🔗ℹ

(require parser-tools/yacc-to-scheme)
| package: parser-tools-lib

> procedure (trans file) → any/c
> file : path-string?

Reads a C yacc/bison grammar from file and produces an s-expression that represents a Racket parser for use with parser.

This function is intended to assist in the manual conversion of grammars for use with parser, and not as a fully automatic conversion tool. It is not entirely robust. For example, if the C actions in the original grammar have nested blocks, the tool will fail.

Annotated examples are in the "examples" subdirectory of the "parser-tools" collection.
