I've been tasked with performing a general evaluation of Parser Generators.


The tools currently under consideration include Flex/Bison Visual
Parse++ and ProGrammar. Can anyone recommend any other tools
(preferably those which feature an IDE) ?


The tool should be capable of generating parsers in C / C++ and the
resultant code must be able perform tasks ranging from extracting sets
of phone numbers, email addresses and URLs from a string, through to
parsing simple scripts


criteria for the evaluation include
  - Code portability
  - Small memory footprint


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated


Thanks in anticipation.
