Louis, Great, thanks for the pointer. I haven't decided how I'm going to arrange things yet, but I'll definitely take a hard look at JS/CC. Still, I'm curious about targeting other languages from re2c. As I recall the original author wrote somewhere that it wouldn't be too hard to do so, but I guess that could mean just about anything. In any case, multiple target languages would certainly make re2c more attractive. It's one of the things that makes Antlr attractive; unfortunately I strongly prefer to work in C (C++ in a pinch) rather than Java. re2c + lemon is about as good as it gets. -Gregg ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Re2c-general mailing list Re2c-general@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/re2c-general
