I am trying to write a few retargetable code generators this summer, and I thought it would be real helpful if I had an attribute grammar parser generator to help. Specifically, I am looking for a YACC look-a-like that will allow a boolean variable to be associated with each production. At generation time there will be several ambiguous productions that will be resolved at run time by the boolean flags. This will enable/disable productions based upon semantic information. I have half an inkling to hack YACC to do this. But before I go off on a tangent, can someone point me towards an existing program/system that will do what I have described? I am not certain, but I suspect that a reasonable price for such a system can be accomodated.
