Hello Everyone.
I have written a lexer generator which is available from http://www.benhanson.net/lexertl.html . I would like to submit it for inclusion in the boost library, but as suggested, I am announcing it to gauge interest.
All feedback in most welcome!
Thanks,
Ben Hanson

Uuuuh. your happy announcement about new library and asking for feedback, combined together with that disclaimer made me very confused. Is your lexer generator propertiary? ;p -- Janek Kozicki |

Has anyone already notified the author? permanently delete it Is this possible at all? Roland

My interpretation is that the email sig is probably tacked on to anything that the author writes whether or not it is actually proprietary, and means that that the _text of the email_ is (or might be) proprietary. The library itself was not included in the email, so that isn't what is referred to. If it was, then this thread shows that this needed to be stated more explicitly. In any case, I'm curious to know what this library does that Spirit doesn't already. Isn't this just a specialised parser?

Given your library is not proprietary as your mail claims (and I believe so after reading the website), I would like to see a C++ lexer for Wave using lexertl which allowed us to compare usability, performance, and correctness. Do you have any plans in this direction or any ongoing C++ lexer work we could use for that? Regards Hartmut
