A small addition: * miniyacc was written by Quentin Carbonneaux, who is very well known in the suckless community (qbe, https://c9x.me). * I did a small comparison yacc parsers and for bc.y OpenBSD's yacc produces 50.5k binary vs 38.5k Plan 9's yacc (9base). * miniyacc is optimized for low memory usage and here I was very curious about the results (the generated test code is very clean vs competition). * I wonder if miniyacc could be a replacement for heavier parsers (bison, OpenBSD's & Plan 9's yacc).
