A general lr(k) parser building algorithm
Thomas J. Sager · UNM’s Digital Repository (University of New Mexico) · 1973
The problem is to find an efficient algorithm that, given the productions of a context-free grammar G, will discover whether G is LR(k) for given k and if it is build an efficient parser for G . The algorithm is given in Section 8. It is essentially a synthesis of the best parts of Knuth's and DeRemer's algorithms. On simple LR(k) grarranars it yields a result equivalent to DeRemer's algorithm, and like Knuth's algorithm it will work on all LR(k) grammars.
