Abstract

This article presents an implementation of an error repair algoritm for the JavaCC parser generator. Three different approaches, the Burke-Fisher error repair, follow-set error repair and panic mode, have been implemented. These algorithms have been altered and combined in order to get improved results. Using this adapted implementation of JavaCC an improved syntax error recovery mechanism is available.
