re2c
re2c is a free and open-source lexer generator for C, C++, Go, and Rust. It compiles declarative regular expression specifications to deterministic finite automata. Originally written by Peter Bumbulis and described in his paper, re2c was put in public domain and has been since maintained by volunteers. It is the lexer generator adopted by projects such as PHP, SpamAssassin, Ninja build system and others. Together with the Lemon parser generator, re2c is used in BRL-CAD. This combination is also used with STEPcode, an implementation of ISO 10303 standard.
