The concepts remained the same (see the Dragon book of Aho a great book, BTW). As long as the new libraries and parsers implement the same algorithms, everything is OK. >From what I see, the only fundamental thing that changed since those ancient days, is the higher need to support streaming data.

Re: Short consulting gig (programming with BISON/Flex)

Another issue is that if you today need to write a parser in lex/yacc, then you probably made a bad decision along the way. There are today lots of well supported meta formats with excellent and well tested parsers, e.g. json, xml, yaml, config/ini, and your ROI is better spent integrating one of

Re: Short consulting gig (programming with BISON/Flex)

I see that the thread is still alive, so just wanted to say that it's a de-ja-vu for me. I've used to be a LEX/YACC master somewhere in the previous century (i.e. the previous millennium...). I not only used it for writing compilers, interpreters and parsers, but also built a cool library based on

Hi Shlomi, I saw previous emails sent to you in private end up back on the mailing list. You seem to be very insisting on that point, it's even included in your signature. I reserve the right to be selective on what I share on public forums, and your insistence that emails to you be made public

Hi Shlomi, I'm not going to send status updates of an internal company project on a public mailing list. Perhaps you should reconsider your communication preferences. - Aviram On Sun, Aug 27, 2017 at 10:28 AM, Shlomi Fish wrote: > Hi Aviram! > > Any news about this gig? >

I'm in a Debian conference right now, should I ask one of the guys? Do you want someone to come to your office or can it be done remotely? Kaplan On Thu, Aug 10, 2017 at 3:42 PM, Aviram Jenik wrote: > Hi, > > We're looking for a consultant that can help us with a short gig to

Short consulting gig (programming with BISON/Flex)

Hi, We're looking for a consultant that can help us with a short gig to figure out why a piece of BISON/Flex code (used to render code into an interpreter) compiles under Debian 7 but not under Debian 9. The error is pretty vague so I rather not paste it here as it doesn't actually helps anyone
