/menhir-example

This is OCaml code which uses the libraries menhir (http://cristal.inria.fr/~fpottier/menhir/) and the Batteries (http://batteries.forge.ocamlcore.org). After it is compiled, it can be used to parse a file which contains arithmetic expressions.

About

NOTE: This code is all example code. It is targeted to developers; read it and learn from it!

This example should be seen as an extension to the already existing menhir examples (accessible through the directory "demo" in the source code of menhir).

To write this code, I used the example demos/calc from menhir's source code. In the files lexer.mll and parser.mly I added comments for my own modifications so that the reader of the source code can distinguish between code from INRIA and code added by me.

A testfile is attached to avoid misunderstandings with the required file format.
