Language is C; environment is embedded board of consumer/business printers; and, the nature of work is QA, where I'm trying to introduce more automation. So, for C, what parser library would you use? I take it, there is difference between "parser generator" and "parse combinator". -- William Park <[email protected]> --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
