Subject: Building a parser with Camlp4
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 08:14:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1196234040.6361.7.camel@Blefuscu> (raw)

     Hi list (Nicolas Pouillard, in particular),

 I'll probably need to rewrite my (not-fully-complete-yet) parser for
JavaScript 2 and I'm considering using Camlp4 as a parser generator for
a completely-non-OCaml target language. Now, before I do that, I have a
few questions in mind:

* What is the power of Camlp4 ? The documentation says LL(1+epsilon) but
the examples look like LL(k) with a possibly large k.

* How do I plug-in a lexer written with ULex ?

* Camlp4 looks relatively slow -- is it much slower than Yacc ?



Thanks,
 David
