GOLD Newsgroup

This page contains files you can download for the GOLD Parser Builder. In the GOLD Parsing System, the Builder is used to analyze a grammar and create the parse tables used by the Engine.

Beside the main application, you can download different Program Templates which can be used by the Builder to create skeleton programs. Most - if not all of these - are included with the Builder download.

GOLD Parser Builder

GOLD Parser Builder
Windows 9x/NT/XP Application

Updated! The GOLD Parser Builder is used to analyze a grammar and create the Compiled Grammar Table file used by the different implementations of the Engine. This application contains a large number of features designed to make the development of your language a breeze.

Version:	3.4.4
Size:	2.7 MB

Builder Command Line
Command Line Interface
Windoww 9x/NT/XP Platform

This is a command line version of the Windows 32-bit application. Four of the main features of the Builder Application: Compiled Grammar Table file generation, Skeleton Program Creation, YACC to GOLD conversion, and Grammar Testing were implemented using separate executables.

Downloadable
Documentation

The GOLD Parser Builder normally opens the online documentation when it is selected from the Help menu. Since the documentation changes from time to time, this makes sure that the latest version is always displayed.

However, there are cases where the developer may want to look at the documentation without connecting to the Internet. This file will solve this problem. Just copy the CHM file into the same folder as the main GOLD Parser Builder application. The Builder will open this file instead of opening the website.

Tools and Add-Ons

Grammar Edit

Dmitry Lamdan submitted an excellent application designed to write grammars.

The application contextually highlights reserved words, terminals, rules, etc... and even interactively allows the developer see which rules and terminals have been defined and those which have not yet been.

WorldMaker's
Projects

This website contains Max Battcher's fast growing selection of excellent GOLD tools. These include his new EvParser, which is a wrapper class, and GOLDDot software, which can be used with AT&T Dot to create graphs of rules, and parse tables.

GUnit Beta
A General Unit Testing framework focused for GOLD grammar building (alongside the console interfaces to GOLD Builder), has been released as beta.

GoldEd
Built a simple proof of concept "editor" (syntax highlighter) for Gold Grammars that uses the existing CGT and GSS (from GoldDot) files.

GoldParser and GSS Changes
A delegate-based wrapper of the existing Parser class, was added to GoldParser, simplifying (IMO) much of the code necessary in parsing a script. Also, GSS was rewritten to take advantage of the new techniques. I may release updated compiled assemblies shortly, but the changes should already be in CVS. Documentation needs to be updated, but hasn't been yet...

GoldDot b3
Beta 3 release of GoldDot (along with the requisite GoldParser and GSS DLLs). All major functionality should now be in place, and the final release should be around the corner.

VIM Syntax File

This is a syntax file for the popular VIM Text Editor. This program is an improved version of the common VI Editor that contains syntax highlighting and other features designed for software engineers. The editor in the Builder is very simple - being merely a TextBox control.
