## NAME

ml-burg - a tree parser generator for Standard ML

## SYNOPSIS

ml-burg file

## DESCRIPTION

The ml-burg program generates a Standard ML program to perform bottom-up rewriting of an input tree. Cost information associated with each rewrite rule is used to derive the minimum rewrite cost for the entire tree. A successful reduction corresponds to rewriting the input tree to a special non-terminal symbol called the start non-terminal. Upon successful reduction, facilities are provided to walk the tree emitting semantic actions corresponding to the rules that matched.
