But it’s easy to convert an EBNF Grammar to BNF: Convert every repetition { E } to a fresh non-terminal X and add X … Read more
Old-school assemblers were typically hand-coded in assembler and used adhoc parsing techniques to process assembly source lines to produce actual assembler code. When assembler syntax is simple (e.g. always OPCODE REG, OPERAND) this worked well enough. Modern machines have messy, nasty instruction sets with lots of instruction variations and operands, which may be expressed with … Read more

You can copy the SVG code or take screen shots. You have to type in the grammar and it’ll make the diagram. For example, to create the first railroad diagram you show, … Read more
