description: PRECCX is an infinite-lookahead compiler compiler for context
dependent grammars. The generated code is ANSI C.
Specification scripts are in very EBNF with inherited and
synthetic attributes allowed. Scripts can be compiled in
separate modules, and linked together later. Meta-production
rules allowed. The technology is essentially LL(oo) with
optimizations. A converter for yacc scripts is available.
