…been wanting a good parser combinator library for C since 2023 when I contributed to mpc[1]: [1]: https://github.com/orangeduck/mpc/commits?author=steve-chave...

…their own prebuilt parser library 'mpc'. (I was unable to find a link to the source in the book, so https://github.com/orangeduck/mpc ) I was unable to find any instance of 'car' or 'cdr' or 'caddar' and their like, which I feel is the…

For parsing, there's the excellent mpc , a parser combinator library in highly portable C. https://github.com/orangeduck/mpc I even managed to use it drop in for a RiscOS project once.

For that I think you can do something similar to what mpc for C ( https://github.com/orangeduck/mpc ) and LPeg for Lua ( http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/ ), which is to provide the parsing machinery and write a small DSL with the…

Actually the project depends on the library which claims to implement the named rule: https://github.com/orangeduck/mpc
