Cocom project is a toolset that is oriented towards the creation of compilers, cross-compilers, interpreters, and other language processors.

It consists of reusable packages (collection and memory management framework), a Sprut internal representation description (AST-to-AST) translator, a Nona code selector description translator (generator generator similiar to BEG, Twig, Burg, and Iburg), an MSTA syntax description translator (yacc-compatible parser with better error reporting), an OKA pipeline hazards description translator, and SHILKA keywords description translator (similiar to gperf but faster).

What's New in This Release:
Ammunition.
Package arithm works with numbers with bases upto 35. New tests.
Earley parser is able to use rules costs to chose the translation with minimal cost. Some bugs are fixed. New tests.
