[comp.compilers] Bison Manual and G++ available from FSF

tower@wheaties.ai.mit.edu (Leonard H. Tower Jr.) (02/18/89)

The Free Software Foundation has added G++, the GNU C++ Compiler to
it's compiler/beta tape along with lib-g++ and oops.  All this
software is in beta test.  FSF has also published the Users Manual for
bison, its yacc compatible parser generator:


g++, libg++, and oops

G++ is a front-end for GCC, that compiles C++, an object-oriented
language that is upward compatible with C.  Since G++ depends on GCC,
it can only be used with the corresponding version of GCC.

libg++ (the GNU C++ library) is a collection of C++ classes and
support tools for use with G++.

OOPS (Object-Oriented Program Support) class library is a portable
collection of classes similar to those in Smalltalk-80 that has been
developed by Keith Gorlen of NIH, using the C++ programming.


Bison Manual

The Bison Manual describes how to write a grammar description that
Bison can convert into a C program that can parse that grammar.  It
describes the concepts and then provides a series of increasingly
complex examples before describing what goes on in considerable
detail.
