Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package btyacc, which is
part of the devel section, and maintained by Richard Atterer
<atterer at debian.org>. 

This package contains : Backtracking parser generator based on byacc.

btyacc is a hacked version of the original Berkeley "byacc". The main
change to byacc is the addition of backtracking code, allowing you to
try both alternatives in case of shift-reduce or reduce-reduce
conflicts. As long as no backtracking takes place, speed is comparable
to bison.

Additional features:
 - enhanced support for storing of text position information for tokens
 - closes the potential *yacc/bison memory leak during error recovery
 - preprocessor directives like %ifdef, %include
 - C++ friendly

Related packages: bison, byacc, antlr
