Description: lexer generator for C, C++, Go and Rust
re2c's main goal is generating fast lexers: at least as fast as
their reasonably optimized hand-coded counterparts. Instead of using
a traditional table-driven approach, re2c encodes the generated
finite state automata directly in the form of conditional jumps and
comparisons. The resulting programs are faster and often smaller
than their table-driven analogues, and they are much easier to debug
and understand. Quite a few optimizations are applied in order to
speed up and compress the generated code.
.
Another distinctive feature is its flexible interface: instead of
assuming a fixed program template, re2c lets the programmer write
most of the interface code and adapt the generated lexer to any
particular environment.
