GPC

GPC is a library providing generalized parser combinators which are able to parse all context-free grammars completely. This includes support for left-recursion and reporting all possible parses of ambiguous grammars.

GPC is currently only a proof of concept. Of course it needs a much more elaborate API, but before that I want to implement disambiguation strategies. I have also not put any effort in making this library performant yet.

Comparison with other parsing techniques
