  --dump                           Dump out grammar information
    --use-devel-grammar              Use the devel grammar parser from

yapps_grammar.py instead of the stable grammar from grammar.py -fcontext-insensitive-scanner Scan all tokens (see docs)

yapps generates a Python program which will parse a given grammar.

--dump

Dump the grammar information to stdout.

--use-devel-grammar

Use the grammar file in ./yapps_grammar.py instead of yapps/grammar.py.

This option is useful for testing new grammar parsers. (Yes, yapps' parser is itself written with yapps...)

-fcontext-insensitive-scanner

Set the option to use the non-context-sensitive scanner.

yapps implements a recursive-descent scanner.

This version was enhanced by Matthias Urlichs <[email protected]>. It is not downwards-compatible with the original yapps2 (yet) and uses a different runtime library.

See the change log for details.
