      From: DrDiettrich1@netscape.net              A grammar can be used to *check* for valid sentences of a language, but       it also can be used to *create* valid sentences. For a pretty printer or       decompiler test I need a sentence generator for logical expressions. For       now the language can be restricted to AND, OR, variables and (kind of)       parentheses. Later on NOT and XOR can be added. RPN is one alternative       for the "kind of parentheses", eliminating the need for a specific       operator precedence.              Now I'm looking for possible implementations of such a generator, in       addition to my own ideas. So far the output can be anything, e.g. source       code or machine code, or some tree (AST...).              Any ideas or references to such projects?              TIA        DoDi              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
