All menus in Torero are context sensitive, that means that it depends on the
tool's state which menu items are usable at a time. Pictures below show states
where all menu items are active.
Some menu items have shortcuts which are shown next to the menu items.
A file chooser dialog opens to choose an input file which contains the yacc
grammar. Per default all files with extensions .y and .yacc are shown.
Important: Depending on the version of Torero there are some restrictions
on yacc grammars, which can be found in the compatibility
section.
Only one instance of a grammar can be active at one time. When importing a new
grammar, the actual working grammar is discarded, so save the working
files first.
Attribute grammars made with Torero can be written into an ox-input-file with this menu button. Note that the generated .ox file includes a C-Header file containing type definitions for attributes, which has to be supplied by the user. See the compatibility section for details.
Previously saved attribute grammars made with Torero can be loaded with the menu item. Torero uses a binary format (JAVA serialised objects) for saving and loading attribute grammars.
