What (who) is Yet Another Compiler Compiler - definition
PARSER GENERATOR
Yet Another Compiler Compiler; Yacc programming language; YACC; Christopher F. Clark, Compiler Writer; .y
Yet Another Compiler Compiler
<tool, language> (yacc) The LALR parser generator found on
most Unix systems. Also, the language used to describe the
syntax of another language to yacc (the program).
Implementations: ayacc, YAY, perln-byacc,
SASL-Yacc - "Yacc in SASL - An Exercise in Functional
Programming", Simon Peyton-Jones, Software Prac & Exp
15:807-820 (1985). Mentions also a BCPL implementation.
Yacc++ - 1990. An object-oriented rewrite of yacc, supports
regular expressions, produces an LR1 grammar parser.

Yacc
Yacc (Yet Another Compiler-Compiler) is a computer program for the Unix operating system developed by Stephen C. Johnson. It is a Look Ahead Left-to-Right Rightmost Derivation (LALR) parser generator, generating a LALR parser (the part of a compiler that tries to make syntactic sense of the source code) based on a formal grammar, written in a notation similar to Backus–Naur Form (BNF). Yacc is supplied as a standard utility on BSD and AT&T Unix. GNU-based Linux distributions include Bison, a forward-compatible Yacc replacement.
