Hello, the historical pairing is using Flex with Bison. However, while Bison is under active development and seems to be a very solid code base, there isn't much activity on the Flex side https://github.com/westes/flex and Flex codebase and capabilities show their age.
I recently became aware of RE/flex https://www.genivia.com/reflex.html which seems very promising. However, it only generates a C++ scanner which may be (I haven't tried) to retro-fit into existing C projects to, for example, gain full unicode (in its utf8 encoded form) support. Has anyone tried to hammer a C++ scanner peg generated by RE/flex into a C grammar hole generated by Bison? Which other scanners do people use? Thank you. Cheers, Dan
