GNU Bison - Where Is IT Used?

Where Is It Used?

Here is a non-comprehensive list of software built using Bison:

• The Ruby Programming Language (YARV);
• The PHP Programming Language (Zend Parser);
• GCC started out using Bison, but switched to a hand-written recursive-descent parser for C++ in 2004, and for C and Objective-C in 2006;
• The Go Programming Language (GC);
• Bash shell uses a yacc grammar for parsing the command input. It is distributed with Bison-generated files.
