A simple recovery-only procedure for simple precedence parsers

Posted

A simple method is described enabling simple precedence parsers to recover from syntax errors. No attempt to repair errors is made, yet parsing and most semantic processing can continue. The result is a good “first approximation” to syntax error handling with negligible increase in parsing time, space, and complexity of both the parser and its table generator.
