Hi all,
I need to create a parser in C++ which should parse a somewhat complex
file structure. Yeah, it would be possible to write it from scratch in
C++ however I think it would be easier and the end-result would
probably be more efficient if I use a parser generator. However, I only
know flex/bison from a project in C along time ago. Any ideas on what
to use nowadays and for C++ would be nice.
Cheers,
Paulo Matos

AFAIK people who care and who can define the grammar of their files still
use lex/yacc (or their equivalents) to do the job.

We had to use a flex/bison parser for a C++ project and had a hard time
calming the compiler to compile the generated code at all (g++)...
I think his question was reasonable and I'd be interested, too, if there
is such a thing for C++.

did you look at bison++ ?

I´d refer to COCO ( www.ssw.uni-linz.ac.at/Research/Projects/Coco/) which
will create code for C, C++, Pascal, C#, Java, etc....

Have you tried it yet? Is it nice?

used flex and bison with C++, never tried but if you say it isn't worth
it because resulting code is not g++ complaint, then I'll not even try.
Thanks for the remark,
Paulo Matos
Well, at least I have to disable all warnings and the -pedantic flag, as
well as declaring some functions as extern "C" to make the compiler
happy. But it works, if you can live with that :)
But at least three suggestions have been posted by the fellow posters
which sound very appropriate for your purpose, so I guess you're better
off with those pure C++ solutions.

Does anybody know a parser generator that supports unicode (UTF-16), and
is based on something like ICU. The parser is used in a platform

anyone interested in a php written and outputting LALR(1) parser

Two test grammars are included in the package. The grammar for the

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a good and *easy to use* lexer and parser generator?
Preferably one that was written specifically for VC++ and not mangled
through 20 different platforms. I've had it up to here (funny hand gesture)
with trying to compile the bullet-riddled code that GNU Flex and Bison keep
spitting out for even the simplest of grammars (really funny hand gesture).
Thanks

Hi all, I need to do syntax parsing of simple naturual languages,
for example, "weather of London" or "what is the time", simple

In Java, there are JavaCC, Antlr, etc. I wonder what people use
in Python? Antlr also has Python support but I'm not sure how good
it is. Comments/hints are welcome.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
