syntax of C for Parser Generator

[Jang]

Could anyone point or send me a syntax of C which fits to Parser Generator
(YAAC) ? I've got a big problem because I have to write a translator
C ->assembler :[ There is a lot of work to convert rules in BNF to YAAC.
How to deal with it ?

Thank in advance.

Always check to see if a group has a FAQ and see if it answers your
question before posting.

In this case, see question 18.15. There is a link to the FAQ in my
signature block.

Jack Klein pointed you to the FAQ. Something it doesn't directly
mention is that you're likely to run into problems with typedefs. An
identifier that's been declared as a typedef has to be parsed as if it
were a keyword (like int or float). This means you need feedback from
the symbol table to the parser.

BTW, a C->assembler translator is also known as a compiler; a number
of them already exist. Why do you need to write your own?

It's my homework.
