Hello everyone,


The following seems not an uncommon demand to me, though
I did not find it in the tcl-FAQ (version 6.1. as of Sept 28, 1994)
or comp.compilers-FAQ (as of Nov 94):


I intend to reimplement the Tcl-interpreter (specifically, to replace
its recursive-descent strategy by a stack-machine), and I would like
to do it with an explicit grammar right from the beginning, in order
to incorporate future changes to tcl with less effort. So my question
is:
    Does anyone have or know of a Tcl-grammar usable as input for a
    yacc-like parser generator (and, of course, also something for
    a lex-like scanner generator) ?
Specifically, I intend to use gnu-bison and gnu-flex for this.


                              Help would be nice -
                                                                            regards, Holger.
