parser generator which supports unicode?

[alederer]

Hallo!

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
independent and cross-platform communicating application.

thanks
andreas

Go to http://groups.google.com and search for "unicode parser
group:comp.compilers" or to save effort click (if your emial client
allows it) the following link:
http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?as...comp.compilers

Questions like this are normally asked in comp.compilers but it has been
quiet for a week, so the moderator might be holiday.

Unicode in what sense? In the parser?

A parser takes a stream of tokens, not characters. Characters are
tokenised by the lexical scanner. Differences in the character used
to express a concept are a low-level syntactical issue, not a semantic
one. The lexer should deal with the character set used. In fact,
it's probably simplest to deal with it before the lexer even sees it.

Post this question to comp.compilers it will pop up in a couple of
day, the moderator is not on holiday as far as I know.
