Ok, I know how it can be done for the quantified rules, via left recursion and additional non-terminals. However for the priority rules I am still not fully clear how these would be done. If there is no documentation, then is the rewrite engine in some central/singular place in the sources, or is its activity distributed through it, and where would I have to look ? > Use a left recursion, because that is easier on Marpa's internals. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "marpa parser" group.
