  LR parser
An LR parser is a type of parser for context-free grammars that is very commonly used by computer programming language compilers (and other associated tools).
Of all parsers that scan their input left to right, LR parsers detect syntactic errors (that is, when their input does not conform to the grammar) as soon as it possible to do.
LR parsers are difficult to produce by hand; they are usually constructed by a parser generator or a compiler-compiler.

A parser is a computer program or a component of a program that analyses the grammatical structure of an input, with respect to a given formal grammar.
Parsers can be made both for natural languages and for programming languages.
For example LALR parsers are capable of efficiently analysing a wide class of context free grammars.

A parser is a computer program or a component of a program that analyses the grammatical structure of an input, with respect to a given formal grammar, a process known as parsing.
The task of the parser can be summarized as to determine if and how the input can be derived from the start symbol with the rules of the formal grammar.
A parser can do this in essentially two ways: it can start with the input and attempt to rewrite it to the start symbol, a so-called bottom-up parser, or it can start with the start symbol and try to rewrite it to the input, a so-called top-down parser.

Generally, parsers operate in two stages, first identifying the meaningful tokens in the input, and then building a parse tree from those tokens.
Parsers are usually not written by hand but are generated by parser generators.
The task of the parser is essentially to determine if and how the input can be derived from the start symbol within the rules of the formal grammar.

Thus, it is a common strategy to create a relaxed parser for a context-free grammar which accepts a superset of the desired language constructs (that is, it accepts some invalid constructs); later, the unwanted constructs can be filtered out.

Parsing is also an earlier term for diagraming of sentences in grammar of the English language, and is still used to diagram the grammar of inflected languages, such as the Romance languages or Latin.
Most modern parsers are at least partly statistical; that is, they rely on a corpus of training data which has already been annotated (parsed by hand).
Parsers for programming languages tend to be based on context-free grammars because fast and efficient parsers can be written for them.

The task of the parser can be summarized as to determine if and how the input can be derived from the start symbol with the rules of the grammar.
As the name suggests, a Top-down parser works in principle by constructing an abstract syntax tree from the Top node on Down, usually in a pre-order tree traversal pattern.
The syntax tree is derived according to the rules of the grammar and the current input token.

 Design of the Honalee LR Algorithm
The traditional approach to canonical LR(k) parsers is to generate the entire set of parser states (item sets), but this is impractical since most real-world grammars produce several hundred to several thousand states.
There is a lot of redundancy in the LR states generated and many of the states are nearly identical, typically differing only by their look-ahead symbols.
What is desired is the means to construct canonical LR parsing tables that are about the same size as LALR parsing tables, thus having the best of both worlds, i.e., efficient parsing of complex grammars provided by LR parsers, combined with the relatively small memory requirements of LALR parsers.

 Canonical LR parser
A canonical LR parser or LR(1) parser is an LR parser whose parsing tables are constructed in a similar way as with LR(0) parsers except that the items in the item sets also contain a follow, i.e., a terminal that is expected by the parser after the right-hand side of the rule.
LR(1) parsers can deal with a very large class of grammars but their parsing tables are often very big.
This can often be solved by merging item sets if they are identical except for the follows, which results in socalled LALR parsers.

 Honalee LR(k) Algorithm
State tables for a bottom-up LR parser can then be constructed from the resulting item sets, providing the smallest tables necessary for an LR parser to recognize sentences from the grammar.
The Honalee LR parser construction algorithm is predicated on some assumptions, which are presented here as theoretical conjectures.
As a matter of fact, the resulting canonical LR item sets is the minimum collection of sets capable of recognizing the full LR grammmar, comprising the same item sets produced if the grammar is LALR or SLR, plus any additional sets to handle the additional parsing complexity if the grammar is not LALR or SLR.

LR parsers can be constructed to recognize virtually all programming language constructs for which context-free grammars can be written
The principal drawback of the LR method is that it is too much work to construct an LR parser by hand for a typical programming language grammar - one needs a specialized tool - an LR parser generator.
Canonical LR is the most powerful, and the most expensive.

The productions of the parser can be used to build a parse tree of a program written in human-readable source code that can be compiled to assembly language or pseudocode.
It is common for bottom-up parsers to take the form of general parsing engines, that can either parse or generate a parser for a specific programming language given a specification of its grammar.
LR(n) - where n is an integer>=0 indicates an LR parser with n lookahead symbols; while languages can be designed that require more than 1 lookahead practical languages try to avoid this because increasing n can threoretically require exponentially more code and data space (in practice, this may not be as bad).

Canonical LR(k) or LR(k) is the most general form of LR parsing and parses any language that can be parsed by a shift-reduce parser.
Such parsers have many thousands of states for a typical programming language and are thus large.
LALR parsers have the same number of states as the equivalent SLR parser but they are harder to construct.

In the first part, we show that the traditional LR parser construction technique produces parsers which are burdened with a substantial amount of systematic redundance.
The new method distills those properties of LR parsers that are indispensable for their correctness; and it shows which ingredients of the traditional construction technique are responsible for guaranteeing correctness and which are responsible for nice-to-have yet dispensable properties that cause redundance.
In the second part, we investigate the construction of LR parsers for the so-called extended context-free grammars of which syntax diagrams, Extended Backus-Naur Form, and regular right part grammars are different concrete versions.

Grammar rules may additionally allow the special action of changing the lexer state (also known as start condition in flex-like parser generators.) This restriction on actions is due to the difficulty of specifying arbitrary actions when the target language is unknown, as it is in the MINT architecture.
The LR(1) parser generator algorithm is taken straight from the classic text by Aho, Sethi, and Ullman.
We decided to implement LR(1) as opposed to SLR or LALR due to the simplicity of this algorithm and the fact that memory sizes are large enough now that the compactness of the tables is not so much of an issue.

Humorous fact: The initial grammars for the Fortran, C, and Java languages could not be parsed by an LALR parse table and had to have canonical parse tables to parse it.

It also turns out to not be a bad way for a program to work on data: load raw data onto a stack, and map or reduce them into higher-level results.
So we'd expect parsers, even the ones without extra variables, to be able to compute a fairly large class of problems.
