In the company I work for, we were implementing batch processing
language, and tried to use flex/bison combination, but we _did_ switch
to ANTLR and we never regreted. The code gnerated with antlr was C++
(which we needed), no static/global variables, and debugging was much
easier. If you can spare some time to learn differences, switch to
antlr :).


ciao,


Gordan
