[ANN] nyacc version 0.99.0 released

[ANN] nyacc version 0.99.0 released

[Matt Wette]

NYACC, for Not Yet Another Compiler Compiler, is set of guile modules for
generating parsers and lexical analyzers.  It also provides sample parsers
and pretty-printers using SXML trees as an intermediate representation.

It provides a decent C parser and a `FFI Helper' tool to help create
Guile Scheme bindings for C-based libraries.

It provides (partially implemented) compilers based on above mentioned
parsers to allow execution with Guile as extension languages.

updates to version 0.99.0 from 0.94.0:
	* added fixed-point types to C99 parser
	  http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2001/n1290.pdf
	  make-num-reader accepts 0.25hr uhr r ur lr ulr hk uhk k uk lk ulk

	* cleaned up documentation

The next major release will be 1.0.  If you are currently using nyacc
please give this a try.  I want to have a clean, working 1.0 release.

NYACC maturity is production/stable level.

Thank you for your work!

I never used the other parts of nyacc directly, but I think your
ffi-helper (<https://www.nongnu.org/nyacc/ffi-help.html>) can be very
useful.  I tested libgettextpo via ffi-helper
(<https://pelzflorian.de/git/pelzfloriande-website/tree/gettext-po.ffi?id=02e80b47fe0a9929a25d4a5f7ce11a15e1042d6f>
from back in
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2017-12/msg00037.html>)
in my old website source code from when it was still using
libgettextpo and it still works with current nyacc 0.99.

(Using a distro with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard or
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/36382> would have made ffi-helper
easier to use, I think.)
