Quex for Linux 0.57.2

Quex is a tool to generate lexical analyzers. A lexical analyzer is a program that transforms a stream of characters into a stream of 'atomic chunks of meaning', as shown in the figure below: <br /><br />Quex provides a convenient means to describe a process of lexical analysis. It generates code in C++, which implements the user's lexical analyzer. <br /><br />Features:<br /><br /> * Produces directly coded lexical analyzer, rather than table based engines.<br /> * Sophisticated lexical analyzer modes which allow mode inheritance and mode transitions.<br /> * Sophisticated buffer management which includes a free tell/seek based on character indices even with codings of where characters have dynamic size (e.g. UTF-8, UTF-16).<br /> * Support for a large variety of international character encodings relying on established conversion libraries (IBM's ICU or GNU's IConv).<br /> * Support for include stacks.<br /> * Inherent token handling (queue or single token). Support for customized token types.<br /> * Event handlers allow to trigger actions based on mode transitions, indentation events and other analyzis related events.<br /> * Many examples are provided along with the software that demonstrate its usage.<br />
