...UPDATE2: Now "winflexbison" available as package in Chocolatey (https://chocolatey.org/packages/winflexbison and https://chocolatey.org/packages/winflexbison3) UPDATE3: You can use VS custom build rules to simplify working with winflexbison in Visual Studio 2010 and upper (https://sourceforge.net/p/winflexbison/wiki/Visual%20Studio%20custom%20build%20rules/).

qtBisonC++ is a general-purpose parser generator that converts a grammar description for an LALR(1) context-free grammar into a QT C++ program to parse that grammar. qtBisonC++ reads the given input files for a description of a scanner to generate. The description is in the form of grammar in Backus-Naur Form (BNF), called rules. qtBisonC++ generates as output a C++ source and include file, `lexyy.cpp` and `lexyy.h`, which defines a class `lexyy'. This file is compiled with your code to produce an executable. When the executable is run, it analyses its input to verify that its correspond to the grammar.

The goal of this project is to create a simple and easy to use parser generator that will accept a textual grammar file as an input and output modularized classes representing a limited parser interface. Long term goals include a robust grammar file syntax, output suitable for multiple programming languages, and tools for better integrating compiler functionality, parse tree manipulation, and FSM based scanner generation.

The LALR parser generator (LPG) is a tool for developing scanners and parsers written in Java, C++ or C. Input is specified by BNF rules. LPG supports backtracking (to resolve ambiguity), automatic AST generation and grammar inheritance.
