  LR parser
In typical use when we refer to an LR parser we mean a particular parser capable of recognising a particular language specified by a context free grammar.
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.

 LALR parser
An LALR parser or Look-ahead LR parser is a specific type of LR parser that can deal with more context-free grammars than SLR parsers but less than LR(1) parsers can.
It is a very popular type of parser because it gives a good trade-off between the number of grammars it can deal with and the size of the parsing tables it requires.
It is these types of parsers that are generated by compiler-compilers such as yacc and GNU bison.

 PCYDB Manual
The generated parser starts with the input word of the program source code, which is internally recognized as a token and attempts to match a syntax structure for a string of tokens.
The parsing table is the key component of a LR parser because it determines the characteristics of the parser.
Since the parser uses the driver routine to consult the parsing table to switch between various states during the process of getting a token from input stream, setting a breakpoint at a particular state makes it possible to follow the execution of the parser and check the internal variables maintained by the parser.

 pop11 help lr_parser
To simplify parser generation, the parser itself is divided into two parts: a fixed procedure implementing a generic parsing algorithm, and a set of tables which specialise the algorithm for a particular grammar.
An LR(1) parser is a state machine, characterised by five components: (1) an INPUT stream of terminal symbols: the token at the head of the input is the current token.
The Composition of Parser States --------------------------------- In the terminology of LR parsing, an item is a grammar rule with a marker (or dot) somewhere on the right-hand-side.

 LL parser - Free net encyclopedia
Now the parser sees a '1' on its input stream so it knows that it has to apply rule (1) and then rule (3) from the grammar and write their number to the output stream.
If the top is a nonterminal then it looks up in the parsing table on the basis of this nonterminal and the symbol on the input stream which rule of the grammar it should use to replace it with on the stack.
These steps are repeated until the parser stops, and then it will have either completely parsed the input and written a leftmost derivation to the output stream or it will have reported an error.

 Science Fair Projects - LR parser
In computer science, an LR parser is a type of bottom-up parser for context-free grammars that is very commonly used by computer programming language compilers (and other associated tools).
Depending on how the parsing table is generated these parsers are called Simple LR parser (SLR), Look-ahead LR parser (LALR), and Canonical LR parser.
A table-based bottom-up parser can be schematically presented as in Figure 1.

 PREFACE
PCYACC -- From LALR Grammars to LALR Parsers.....................................................................................
LR parsers have a number of advantages over more traditional technologies, such as recursive descent parsing.
By default, the generated parser is kept in a file with an extension ".c" with the same basename as the GDF .

 Backtrack and lookahead parsers
Traditional parser generators such as YACC and RDP are based on `deterministic' algorithms that are guaranteed to parse strings in time proportional to their length.
Nondeterministic parser generators will perform lookahead or backtracking in an effort to resolve conflicts that cannot be handled by their underlying (usually deterministic) parser technologies.
Cocktail is a compiler writer's toolkit that includes the LARK parser generator which generates backtracking LR parsers.

 Yacc/Bison - Parser Generators - Part 1 LG #87
A parser for grammar G determines whether an input string say `w' is a sentence of G or not.
LR parser gets its name because it scans the input from left-to-right and constructs a rightmost derivation in reverse.
A configuration of an LR parser is a pair whose first component is the stack contents and whose second component is the unexpended input:

 How to write a Parser / translator using Lex /Yacc
A Parser for a Grammar is a program which takes in the Language string as it's input and produces either a corresponding Parse tree or an Error.
The LR means Left-to- Right signifying the parser which reads the input string from left to right.
It differs from LR in the fact that it will look ahead one symbol in the input string before going for a reduce action.

 LL and LR Translator Need k
A translator consists of a syntactic parser or recognizer augmented with semantic actions that are triggered by the recognizer.
Both LR or LL parsers use a finite state machine; their recognition strength is a function of (i) the amount of context} and (ii) the amount of lookahead.
Finally, we know of a LR(k) parser generator [Grosch95] that uses a variant of LR (k) that is nearing completion.

 Exactly 1800 Words on Languages and Parsing
However, if the parser could see ahead to both the A and what followed A on the input stream, the parser could determine which production was going to match.
No matter how large we make the k of LL(k), a sequence of k+1 A's could always be presented to the parser, and the parser could not see past the A's to the B or C. This grammar then is non-LL(k) for any fixed value of k.
LR(k) parsers are considered bottom-up parsers because they try to match the leaves of the parse tree as they work their way up the parse tree towards the start symbol at the root.

The LR parser generated by PCYACC, the yyparse() function, is called to work on the source program.
LR parsers are a class of bottom-up parsers that possess this property.
Since PCYACC generates a parser in the form of a C function, you have a choice between putting other required hand-written C functions in the program section of the grammar description file, or writing them in separate C source files.

 [No title]
The term LR means that the parser parses the script from Left to right and reduces from Rightmost, which is corresponding to the LL parser (parses from left to right and produces the derivation from leftmost, and from top to bottom).
The LR parser analyzes the data relationships by attempting to identify the most fundamental units first, and then to infer higher-order structures from them (reduce).
After the second parser has been introduced, the task that the first parser performs can be simply regarded as the macro replacement, therefore its language rules can be simplified to just recognize the references and placeholder structures.

The parser tries, by shifts and reductions, to reduce the entire input down to a single grouping whose symbol is the grammar's start symbol.
This kind of parser is known in the literature as a bottom-up parser.

 PyLR -- Fast LR parsing in python   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
PyLR is a package of tools for creating efficient parsers in python, commonly known as a compiler compiler.
PyLR (pronounced 'pillar') was motivated by the frequencly with which parsers are hand coded in python, the performance demands that these parsers are subject to (you just can't beat native machine code for speed...), and academic curiosity (I wanted to really know how LR parsing works).
The code as is stands can definitely be of use to anyone hand writing a parser in python, but some of the nicer things in the complete package just haven't been done yet.

 CS 434 Lecture Notes -- SLR(1) parsing
We can use this machine anyway, if we are willing to look ahead a bit.
In all the sentential forms you can generate from the grammar an "a" will never directly follows and S. As a result, in either of the states shown, choosing to reduce when the next input is an "a" would definitely lead to a dead end.
Given the notion of the "follow" set, we can illustrate the use of look-ahead in LR parsing, by considering the simplest form of look-ahead LR parsing -- SLR(1) parsing (that's S for simple).
