Automatic Error Recovery for LR Parsers.

In this paper we present a scheme for detecting and recovering from syntax errors in programs. The scheme, which is based on LR parsing. is driven by information which is directly and automatically obtainable from the information that is already present in an LR parser. The approach, which is patterned after that of Levy and Graham and Rhodes, appears to provide error recovery which is both simple and powerful. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
