Hello everyone. I'm about to start a new program that requires an parser (possibly complex parser). So I'm asking this question again: What are the options for an Delphi programmer dealing with parsers? Other then TP yacc/lex or the Delphi variants?
Different wording: (1) Is there a Delphi clone of the UNIX tools lex and yacc that generates "modern" output? By "modern" I mean something that can handle two parsers running simultaneously and allows reading from something other than TEXT files. All lex/yacc clones I've seen depend on a "lexlib" library that's full of global variables and expects input/output to be done on TEXT files. I almost never need to parse text files, I'm always parsing text from in-memory "strings" or TStringList or TStream descendents. Also I expect my lexers/parsers to work in multi-threaded environments so global variables are automatically excluded! (2) Are there any other tools similar to lex/yacc, commercial or open source that can generate Delphi code? I've been following a few other parser projects but they don't generate Delphi code. I know I've asked those questions before, and I'll probably ask them again until I'll find a good solution. For now I'm writing all my lexers / parsers by hand and it works but it's a bit messy - especially when it's time to change bits of code that have been written years before! -- Thanks, Cosmin Prund _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
