[ANNOUNCEMENT] PHP_LexerGenerator-0.2.1 (alpha) Released.

The new PEAR package PHP_LexerGenerator-0.2.1 (alpha) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- - allow underscore in subpattern names - fix documentation for class - fix bug in regex parsing where backreferences could not have a multiplier like +, *, or {0,1} - disallow (?R), this can't work in a multi-regex lexer generator, unfortunately Package Info ------------- Translate a lexer file with a format similar to re2c (http://re2c.org) into a PHP 5 lexer for use with a parser. Unlike re2c (as of re2c version 0.11), generated lexers are state-aware out of the box. Generated lexers are very efficient, more than twice as efficient as other alternatives like csLex (written in C#) because they utilize PHP's built-in Perl-compatible regular expressions to lex for tokens.
