C3PO is a software synthesis tool that provides a solution for building maintainable, reliable and robust software infrastructures and/or compiler frontends from a set of attributed grammar rules in EBNF notation.

The goal of this project is to provide a generator for lexical analyzers of maximum computational efficiency and maximum range of applications. This includes the support for Unicode (UTF8, UTF16, ...) and a large variety of other encodings directly and via nested converters such as ICU(tm) and IConv. Sophisticated buffer handling allows to operate on plain file streams, on sockets, or manually fed buffer content. 'Ready-to-build' examples explain related concepts and facilitate practical...

...The flex program reads user-specified input files, or its standard input if no file names are given, for a description of a scanner to generate. The description is in the form of pairs of regular expressions and C code, called rules. Flex generates a C source file named, "lex.yy.c", which defines the function yylex(). The file "lex.yy.c" can be compiled and linked to produce an executable. When the executable is run, it analyzes its input for occurrences of text matching the regular expressions for each rule. Whenever it finds a match, it executes the corresponding C code.

Parse software messages and transform them into actions. LazyBat has a command line utility which can transform input data, and also a parser generator for C/C++. LazyBat doesn't support recursive parsing, but rather focuses on common parsing jobs.
