[ANN] RE/flex 0.9.18 - a Flex-like lexical analyzer generator for C++

I'm pleased to share with this excellent compilers group that RE/flex 0.9.18
is released, moving the software out of beta into stable/production status.


After teaching 18 years of teaching Compiler Construction (and writing
technical papers on the subject) I grew frustrated with the lack of progress
with Flex. Flex has C++ bugs, no Unicode, no indent/nodent/dedent anchors, no
lazy repeats, no working performance option -p, outdated documentation,
etc...


A complete redesign for C++ was best, from the ground-up, based on C++ best
practices. RE/flex is released in free open source and licensed under the
BSD-3.


RE/flex is available on GitHub (the repo) and on SourceForge (packaged):


https://github.com/Genivia/RE-flex


https://sourceforge.net/projects/re-flex


If you work with Flex or with other lexical analyzer tools, then you might be
interested give RE/flex a try.


I put the documentation on a perma-link here: http://re-flex.sourceforge.net


Cheers
