Gump - A Front-End Generator for Oz

Leif Kornstaedt

This manual describes Gump, the front-end generator for Oz. It reads Oz files with embedded scanner and/or parser definitions and produces Oz code as output in which these have been replaced by classes implementing scanners and/or parsers. The semantic actions in the specifications allow the full flexibility and expressivity of Oz to be used.
