    88The parser is written using 
    99 * Alex, for lexical analysis.  Source file [[GhcFile(compiler/parser/Lexer.x)]] 
    10  * Happy, for the parser itself.  Source file [[GhcFile(compiler/parser/Parser.y.pp)]].  Note the `.pp` suffix; do not edit `Parser.y`!  [I forget how it's preprocessed to get from `.y.pp` to `.y`] 
     10 * Happy, for the parser itself.  Source file [[GhcFile(compiler/parser/Parser.y.pp)]].  Note the `.pp` suffix; it is run through `cpp` to yield `Parser.y`. 
    1111 * `RdrHsSyn`, for Haskell support functions.  Source file [[GhcFile(compiler/parser/RdrHsSyn.lhs)]]
