As far as I know, the ruby grammar in the SVN and the one uploaded to antlr.org is very basic. Based on my experience, they can parse at most 5% of the ruby's stdlib. >- How does it compare to the RubyFront grammar? I'm no grammarian, but >at a glance that one appeared to be more complete, and was able to parse >the entire stdlib (though I have no idea about accuracy). As the author of rubyfront, I can assure you it can parse the entire stdlib and ROR:). Rigth now I am using it as the frontend of my xruby compiler and it works pretty well. >- Is this project still being actively worked? If I have grammarians >interested in helping, should I point them at rubygrammar or rubyfront? >(I know of a few such folks inside and outside of Sun standing by) I do not know if there is anyone still working on this project. It looks like the last SVN commit was 8 months ago, and this mailist has no activities for quite a few months. As for rubyfront, everyone is welcome to change even fork it (I just did not feel the need myself so I did not check it into the SVN here). All the new code can be found at: http://xruby.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/com/xruby/compiler/parser/ All the code is the 'parser' package is BSD licensed (I will clean the license mess in the code soon, do not let it stop you:)) _________________________________________________________________ Stay in touch with old friends and meet new ones with Windows Live Spaces http://clk.atdmt.com/MSN/go/msnnkwsp0070000001msn/direct/01/?href=http://spaces.live.com/spacesapi.aspx?wx_action=create&wx_url=/friends.aspx&mkt=en-us _______________________________________________ Rubygrammar-grammarians mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygrammar-grammarians
