Bison - Replacement for the parser generator 'yacc'

General purpose parser generator that converts a grammar description for a LALR context-free grammar into a C program to parse that grammar. It can be used to create a range of language parsers. Bison is upwardly compatible with Yacc, so properly written Yacc grammars and those users familiar with Yacc should have little trouble, although you do need to be fluent in C to use Bison.
