Iburg

Iburg

A program by Christopher W. Fraser <cwf@research.att.com>, David R. Hanson <drh@princeton.edu> and Todd A. Proebsting <todd@cs.arizona.edu> that generates a fast tree parser.

Iburg is compatible with Burg. Both programs accept a cost-augmented tree grammar and emit a C program that discovers an optimal parse of trees in the language described by the grammar. They have been used to construct fast optimal instruction selectors for use in code generation. Burg uses BURS. Iburg's matchers do dynamic programming at compile time.
