perplex is our tool, built on top of re2c. re2c is a "lower level" layer - perplex takes some bits from flex and adapts them to the re2c engine. So perplex is fine to use instead of/in addition to re2c - in fact, it's probably preferable/easier. The rough tool mapping for us is lex -> perplex, yacc -> lemon. > Secondly, the CMakeLists.txt in libgcv seems to be tied to the library, in > other words I believe it creates a static library (.so). Ideally, your conversion functionality will be defined as a set of library calls that can be used by a generic conversion tool (if you've seen commits about "gcv" over the last few days, that's work on that tool). If you prefer to start simpler, there is a tool in misc/tools/dom2dox that builds a binary - that might map a little better to your current setup. > How could I develop a CMakeLists file for my new parser in an incremental > manner, I'm having trouble understanding the whole file at once? Take a look at dom2dox and see if that helps - if it's still unclear feel free to ask questions. That's probably our simplest tool using that parsing approach.
