Good afternoon;

Stefen, I ran the System verilog BNF through the hyperlinker.

There are many productions not referenced in the document
(as seen by unlinked definitions, e.g. source_text is
never referenced, udp_declaration is never defined.)

Are there any tools that can analyze BNF for omitted productions,
shift/reduce conflicts, grammar complexity, etc? At least
if this was in yacc form, we could use bison to find these
kind of flaws early.

Any thoughts on a different format? Any thoughts on trying to
use tools to analyze the language?
