Could you build this?
No Developing an ABNF parser generator that compiles grammars into packed LALR(1) parsing tables requires deep theoretical computer science and compiler engineering expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires implementing parser generator theory: parsing ABNF syntax into an AST, constructing nondeterministic and deterministic finite automata, generating LR(0)/LR(1) item sets, calculating FIRST and FOLLOW lookahead sets, resolving shift/reduce conflicts, and packing LALR(1) tables with compression algorithms in C++98.
