The paper describes and proves the correctness of a transformation which converts SLR(1) grammars to grammars which are (1,0) or (1,1) mixed strategy precedence grammars and which have the correct prefix property. The transformation enables one to construct Wirth-Weber precedence parsers possessing the error detection capabilities of the SLR method and being as compact as, for example, Dencker et al. parsers [Dencker et al.: Optimization of parser tables for portable compilers, ACM TOPLAS 6].
