Bison is a general-purpose parser generator that converts a grammar description for an LALR (1) context-free grammar into a C program to parse that grammar. Once you are proficient with Bison, you may use it to develop a wide range of language parsers, from those used in simple desk calculators to complex programming languages. Bison is upward compatible with Yacc: all properly written Yacc grammars ought to work with Bison with no change. Anyone familiar with Yacc should be able to use Bison with little trouble. You need to be fluent in C programming in order to use Bison or to understand this manual. The books in the iUniverse.com Computer Books Series are composed of freely available online computer manuals, industry standard specifications, and electronically distributed computer-programming guides. They include open documents' collections of industry specifications and standards and a collection of the best open source documentation on the Web...the most complete open source library available anywhere.

This review is from: Bison: The Yacc-Compatible Parser Generator : November 1995, Bison Version 1.25 (Paperback)
This is a must-have book for programmers who need to develop language parsers, from those used in simple desk calculators to complex programming languages. Bison is upward compatible with Yacc: all properly-written Yacc grammars ought to work with Bison with no change. If you don't know Bison or Yacc, start by reading this book. Using Bison is a great step forward in programming technique. You wouldn't understand the benefits of using Bison in your programming work before reading this book!

The manual for BISON in hardcopy form,

This review is from: Bison: The Yacc-Compatible Parser Generator : November 1995, Bison Version 1.25 (Paperback)
This is the manual for the BISON compiler generator program. It doesn't try to be more so it is succinct and efficient. You can find just as good information on the internet (and in fact I believe this is exactly the same information as is on the web, just printed). It is nicely printed (nice paperback binding) and inexpensive. If you happen to appreciate printed manuals, as I do, then you may appreciate having this on your shelf for when you work with BISON.
