LEMON

What is it?

From original documentation:

Lemon is an LALR(1) parser generator for C or C++. It does the same job as bison and yacc. But Lemon is not another bison or yacc clone. It uses a different grammar syntax which is designed to reduce the number of coding errors. Lemon also uses a more sophisticated parsing engine that is faster than yacc and bison and which is both reentrant and thread-safe. Furthermore, Lemon implements features that can be used to eliminate resource leaks, making is suitable for use in long-running programs such as graphical user interfaces or embedded controllers.

What is different compared to original (SQLite) version?

• Added option -H to specify a header file extension.
• Added option -P to specify a file-name prefix.
• Generated parser has same extension as template file.
