Compiler design bottomup parser bottomup parsing starts from the leaf nodes of a tree and works in upward direction till it reaches the root node. In an lr parser generator, one cannot in general embed action routines at arbitrary places in a righthand side, since the parser does not in general know what production it is in until it has seen all or most of the yield.
