Sujet: [DNG] Studying C as told. (For help)
Hi,

Syntax:
a) (a+!b).(c+(!q))
b) (!!!!q+r).!w


For the simple syntax rules I have, code was getting too complicated
using recursive descent parsing. So, I switched algorithm to use an
old algorithm I used some 20 years ago to implement algebraic
expression parsing. In this algorithm tokens are checked for the
presence of acceptable tokens that precede and succeed them. If the
presence or absence of some nearby tokens implies a different context,
a deeper checking is done.

This time the code is very simple compared to what I was getting using
recursive descent parsing. Yet, the code seems to do its job.

I am attaching the source code for the parser for comments in case
readers want to make some comments.
