Description

lemon is an LALR(1) parser generator for C or C++.  It does the same job as bison and yacc.  But lemon is
       not  another  bison  or  yacc  clone.  It uses a different grammar syntax which is designed to reduce the
       number of coding errors.  lemon also uses a more sophisticated parsing engine that is  faster  than  yacc
       and  bison  and which is both reentrant and thread-safe.  Furthermore, lemon implements features that can
       be used to eliminate resource leaks, making  is  suitable  for  use  in  long-running  programs  such  as
       graphical user interfaces or embedded controllers.

       lemon will read the grammer from input and write out a parser for that grammar in the C language.
