what version of D5.1 runs smacc?

Is it true that smacc only can run on D5.x Professional Edition? Could
be possible to make the packages/classes it depends on public to other
versions (like ValueEdition).

You should be able to run a parser generated by SmaCC on any edition.
However, to compile a parser, SmaCC uses the refactoring browser classes
which I believe are only available in the professional edition. In
particular, it uses the RB's parse tree rewrite engine and the change
objects.

You could use VW to compile a SmaCC grammar and then file the code into
Dolphin. If you do this, I believe you'll need to tweak the IsExpressions in
SmaCCEdge. The IsExpressions map a collection of characters to a Character
testing method (e.g., '0123456789' -> #isDigit). Dolphin has different is*
testing methods than VW.

Is that so? I thought that code had been contributed for free, so it eludes
me why it would not be available for all versions. Anybody know what's up?

I think there was a free version of the refactoring browser released for D4
(one might have to dig a bit to find it).  I don't know if that has the
correct classes, but I imagine that one could try using that with SmaCC in a
non pro D5.

Refactoring engines for all versions of Dolphin, with the exception of 2.1
but including 5.x, are available for download from:
