Simple precedence grammar

Simple precedence grammar

A simple precedence grammar is a context-free formal grammar that can be parsed with a simple precedence parser.

__TOC__

=Formal definition=

G = ("N", Σ, "P", "S") is a simple precedence grammar if all the production rules in "P" comply with the following constraints:

* There are no erasing rules (ε-productions)
* There are no useless rules (unreacheable symbols or unproductives rules)
* For each pair of symbols "X", "Y" ("X", "Y" in ("N" ∪ Σ)) there is only one Wirth-Weber precedence relation.
* G is uniquely inversible
