ANTLP : ANother Tool for Lexer & Parser generator!

Context-free grammar, lexer and recursive descent parser for a C-like language in Go.

Motivation

To implement lexical and syntax analyzers. Also wanted to choose a modern language that I had not tried before.

Usage

• Run $ go run . [file] where [file] represents an optional argument (which defaults to test.txt) to parse the file.
• If the parser accepts the program, it will generate a DOT specification of the parse tree depicting the leftmost derivation in out.dot.

Lexer Testing

• Input files for lexer's test suite can be found in src/tests/.
• To run the tests : go test
