Linear precedence functions for weak precedence grammars

Abstract

Linear precedence functions can be used to compress the information of certain precedence matrices. While saving space, the method applied to Wirth-Weber precedence matrices causes the detection of errors to be occasionally delayed. When shift-reduce decisions are based on a weak precedence grammar, however, it is often possible to find linear pre-cedence functions which preserve some of the error checking capability of the matrix. While the maximization of the amount of error checking is a large combinatorial problem, algorithms to reduce the search time can be given.
