@dfn{Bison} is a general-purpose parser generator that converts a grammar
description for an @acronym{LALR}(1) or @acronym{GLR} context-free grammar
into a C or C++ program to parse that grammar. Once you are proficient with
Bison, you can use it to develop a wide range of language parsers, from those
used in simple desk calculators to complex programming languages.
Bison is upward compatible with Yacc: all properly-written Yacc grammars
ought to work with Bison with no change. Anyone familiar with Yacc
should be able to use Bison with little trouble. You need to be fluent in
C programming in order to use Bison or to understand this manual.

We begin with tutorial chapters that explain the basic concepts of using
Bison and show three explained examples, each building on the last. If you
