RE/flex for C++
This article introduces RE/flex for C++. RE/flex generates fast lexical analyzers similar to Flex, but supports Unicode patterns, indentation matching, lazy repeats, smart input handling, error reporting, and performance tuning. RE/flex is compatible with Bison and accepts Flex lexer specifications.
