I am looking for an EBNF grammar of the programming language C# in the Version 5.0. This grammar should be machine readable, so I am able to do some processing with this EBNF grammar
Until now I found out that the language specification document of C# is included in the installation of Visual Studio (%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC#\Specifications\1033
) this document already includes the BNF grammar embedded in the document. However, this is only in BNF syntax and not EBNF and it is embedded in the *.docx document an no separate file, which means it is not sufficient for me.
Additionally I found these resources:
So these resources are not sufficient for my project. Do you know a complete EBNF grammar for C# 5.0?
C programming language is a machine-independent programming language that is mainly used to create many types of applications and operating systems such as Windows, and other complicated programs such as the Oracle database, Git, Python interpreter, and games and is considered a programming foundation in the process of ...
C is a general-purpose language that most programmers learn before moving on to more complex languages. From Unix and Windows to Tic Tac Toe and Photoshop, several of the most commonly used applications today have been built on C. It is easy to learn because: A simple syntax with only 32 keywords.
In the real sense it has no meaning or full form. It was developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at AT&T bell Lab. First, they used to call it as B language then later they made some improvement into it and renamed it as C and its superscript as C++ which was invented by Dr. Stroustroupe.
C is more difficult to learn than JavaScript, but it's a valuable skill to have because most programming languages are actually implemented in C. This is because C is a “machine-level” language. So learning it will teach you how a computer works and will actually make learning new languages in the future easier.
I know you're looking for a C# 5.0 Grammar, but there is an ANTLR
grammar for c# 6.0 at github. ANTLR
uses a kind of EBNF notation and can be parsed by a computer. If you want ANTLR allows you to generate a parser for C# from that grammar. Since C# 6.0 is a superset of C# 5.0, the Version difference shouldn't matter.
