We show how techniques known from generMized LR parsing can be applied to leftcorner parsing. The ~esulting parsing algorithm for context-free grammars has some advantages over generalized LR parsing: the sizes and generation times of the parsers are smaller, the produced output is more compact, and the basic parsing technique can more easily be adapted to arbitrary context-free grammars. The algorithm can be seen as an optimization of algorithms known from existing literature.
