The poster wanted an AWK-to-C compiler for speed. I want an AWK-to-C
compiler so I can mix and match C and AWK code, re-using the C code I
already have.


Help is on the way. A good C++ class library should be able to do
everything AWK can.


I'm working on it. In fact the message I posted about NFA's is because I'm
writing a quick and dirty reg-exp class to make do with until I can get a
proper one. Suggestions? I know that Tools.h++ has one, but I don't know
if it's worth buying the package just for that and the string class. For
containers I'm definitely going with the Booch Components.
