What is Torero ?


The basic concepts of Attribute Grammars were introduced by Donald E. Knuth in 1968 and have shown themselves to be a useful formalism for specifying the syntax and the static semantics of programming languages.

Actually, Torero is a tool to assist the design of Attribute Grammars and supports the extension of Yacc Grammars to Ox Attribute Grammars. It is an interactive Java application that allows to make attribuations to yacc grammars in a graphical environment and with a graphical user interface. By means of example derivation trees it demonstrates and eases the procedure of making attribuations. This tool helps beginners to get a better understanding for Attribute Grammars and experts to gain an overview of a new grammar quickly and easily.
