flex & bison
This updated version of flex & bison shows readers how to solve problems when parsing or processing text data in Linux. The text covers basic usage for each utility, and how to use utilities to build standalone applications. Tutorials teach the novice to build compilers and interpreters and work with abstract syntax trees and symbol tables. Levine also discusses interfaces to C++, reentrant lexers and parsers, and GLR parsers.
