我高度推荐这本书:

Irony is a development kit for implementing languages on .NET platform. Unlike most existing yacc/lex-style solutions Irony does not employ any scanner or parser code generation from grammar specifications written in a specialized meta-language. In Irony the target language grammar is coded directly in c# using operator overloading to express grammar constructs. Irony s scanner and parser modules use the grammar encoded as c# class to control the parsing process.

这里有一幅带有讽刺意味的言论图形:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Irony.Parsing;
using Irony.Ast;

namespace Irony.Samples
{
  // This grammar describes programs that consist of simple expressions and assignments
  // for ex:
  // x = 3
  // y = -x + 5
  //  the result of calculation is the result of last expression or assignment.
  //  Irony s default  runtime provides expression evaluation. 
  //  supports inc/dec operators (++,--), both prefix and postfix,
  //  and combined assignment operators like +=, -=, etc.

  {

    public ExpressionEvaluatorGrammar()

      // 1. Terminals
      var number = new NumberLiteral("number");

      //Let s allow big integers (with unlimited number of digits):
      number.DefaultIntTypes = new TypeCode[] { TypeCode.Int32, TypeCode.Int64, NumberLiteral.TypeCodeBigInt };
      var identifier         = new IdentifierTerminal("identifier");
      var comment            = new CommentTerminal("comment", "#", "

      //comment must to be added to NonGrammarTerminals list; it is not used directly in grammar rules,
      // so we add it to this list to let Scanner know that it is also a valid terminal.
