What advantages do LL parsers have over LR parsers to warrant their relative popularity in today's parser generator tools? According to Wikipedia, LR parsing appears to have advantages over LL: ...

At many places (for example in this answer here), I have seen it is written that an LR(0) grammar cannot contain ε productions. Also in Wikipedia I have seen statements like: An ε free LL(1) gramma...

I'm parsing a language that doesn't have statement terminators like ;. Expressions are defined as the longest sequence of tokens, so 5-5 has to be parsed as a subtraction, not as two statements (li...

I am working on my compilers concepts however I am a little confused... Googling got me nowhere to a definite answer. Is SLR and LR(0) parsers one and same? If not, whats the difference?

I know the basic differences of LL vs LR parsers. I also know that GLR, SLR, and LALR are all extensions of LR parsers. So my question in more details is... Given a LL(*) parser and any variation ...

I'm familiar with LR(1) parsers, which are usually taught in traditional compilers courses. I know that LR(2) parsers exist, but I've never seen one constructed before. How is an LR(2) parser cons...

Is there a good resource online with a collection of grammars for some of the major parsing algorithms (LL(1), LR(1), LR(0), LALR(1))? I've found many individual grammars that fall into these famil...

Can anyone give me a simple example of LL parsing versus LR parsing?

I have the following grammar, which I'm told is LR(1) but not SLR(1): S ::= a A | b A c | d c | b d a A ::= d I don't understand why this is. How would you prove this?

How do you identify whether a grammar is LL(1), LR(0), or SLR(1)? Can anyone please explain it using this example, or any other example? X → Yz | a Y → bZ | ε Z → ε

I have a grammar that, depending on the order of productions, happy reports 3 reduce/reduce conflicts or none. The minimal example I can find is: %tokentype {Token} %token int { Int } '-' { Neg ...

Historically, LALR(1) parsers were preferred over LR(1) parsers because of resource requirements required by the large number of states generated by LR(1) parsers. It's hard to believe that this co...

I know that every LL(1) is also an LR(1). But what about the relationship between LL(1) and LR(0), can a LL(1) be a LR(0) as well?

An LL(1)-parser needs a lookahead-symbol for being able to decide which production to use. This is the reason why I always thought the term "lookahead" is used, when a parser looks at the next inpu...
