Abstract:The class of Visibly Pushdown grammars is one between type-3 and type-2 grammars as defined by Chomsky. For this class of languages the only currently publicly available parser generator is Owl, a parser generator written in C. Owl makes numerous claims about performance and lack thereof in certain conditions but does not list any tests to prove these claims. In this paper we run several performance tests with multiple measurements and discover that some of these claims are incorrect.
