Having used lex/yacc and their equivalents for many years I would recommend
you take a quick look at PCCTS (Purdue Compiler Construction Toolkit). It
seems to be better suited to incremental tasks. I have only used it on one
project but it makes a big difference in readability and ease of access to
(readable) internals.


The earlier version ~1.3 supports C and C++. The latest (rewrite) version
supports only JAVA but C++ is coming RSN.


Good luck,
