Hello every one..
I am planning to make a lexcial analyzer in C++, the keywords, opertators etc for the language that the lexer would take lexmes from are all given to us as a set of requirements.
I wanted to know how do i go about making this..
Thanks

Have you started thinking this through yet? What type of things do you need? What would the basic layout for a program be?

The magic word is 'regular expressions'; well, ok, that makes two magic words.

Start with a Bachus-Nauer diagram.

Start with a Bachus-Nauer diagram.
You made me look that up... started with Brachus-Nauer. Got nothing useful. Then went Brachus-Nauer diagram. Found almost nothing. Then tried Brachus Nauer diagram. A little better, though I got hints at Brachus Nauer form. Looked that up, and found this: Brachus Nauer Form
And I hope that is what you mean.
Yep. That's where you start.
All of your lexical rules and tokens will be in the form. Then you design your software

Backus-Naur (not "Nauer") form for general grammars would be overkill for simple
linear grammars. Those linear grammars are all that is needed for lexers and
they can be easily expressed by regular expressions.
Backus-Naur form notation for context free grammars comes in handy for the
parser part of compilers etc. (ref: Yacc, Bison, ANTLR etc.).

Jos

Is there any way in C to write source which would make an executable

that excepts plugins. That starts with a menu.

When entering zero:
Mod Source
::(whatever.c or maybe .o would be better)
Say the mod we put in was to add a divide option to the main menu.

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

I'm a royal n00b to writing translators, but you have to start
someplace.
In my Python project, I've decided that writing the dispatch code
to sit between the Glulx virtual machine and the Glk API will be
best done automatically, using the handy prototypes.
Below is the prototype of the lexer, and I'd like some comments
in case I'm doing something silly already.

Hello,
I started to write a lexer in Python -- my first attempt to do something
useful with Python (rather than trying out snippets from tutorials). It
is not complete yet, but I would like some feedback -- I'm a Python
newbie and it seems that, with Python, there is always a simpler and
better way to do it than you think.

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.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
