LALR parser generator

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contains duplicate information. All information presented is included in the LALR parser article except for the BNF reference. One could be informed about what a LALR parser generator is by looking at LALR parser and Parser generator articles.
In a previous merge discussion for LALR parser and this article it was mentioned that this article could contain information about the process of generating the algorithm. In its current form the article doesn't go down into that, instead it is just a general presentation of the LALR algorithm. I do not object to having an article about the generation process but this in its current form is not such an article. We can make a deletion with a note about what the article should be about.

Keep per past merge discussion at Talk:LALR_parser#Merger_proposal

These are not the same thing. One is a tool used to make the other. Both are notable. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:16, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to LALR parser. I disagree with nom that it would add nothing. It adds the whole discussion of actual software that really exists to generate LALR parsers. That the initial merge might need additional work or lack depth is entirely fixable. I recommend pasting the whole LALR parser generator article text into the LALR Parser article, in between LALR parser#Generating LALR parsers and LALR parser#Advantages and letting the community go to work on making it better.
