Generate an LALR parser (in C) with a given formal grammar specification file. See also: bison. More information: <https://manned.org/man/yacc.1p>.

  • Create a file `y.tab.c` containing the C parser code and compile the grammar file with all necessary constant declarations for values. (Constant declarations file `y.tab.h` is created only when the `-d` flag is used):
    yacc -d path/to/grammar_file.y
  • Compile a grammar file containing the description of the parser and a report of conflicts generated by ambiguities in the grammar:
    yacc -d path/to/grammar_file.y -v
  • Compile a grammar file, and prefix output filenames with `prefix` instead of `y`:
    yacc -d path/to/grammar_file.y -v -b prefix
