Abstract

We present a Generalized LR parsing algorithm for extensions of context-free grammars. It differs from previous approaches in the use of dynamic programming techniques to cope with non determinism, instead of a graph-structured stack. The steps for deriving the algorithm from the classical Earley's parsing algorithm are shown.
