[ANNOUNCEMENT] PHP_LexerGenerator-0.3.0 (alpha) Released.

The new PEAR package PHP_LexerGenerator-0.3.0 (alpha) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- - fix Bug #9006: wrong replacements for plex script (Hartmut Holzgraefe) - fix Bug #9007: yymore does not honor return value "true" to change state - implement Request #8879: lexer not picking longest match 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. Now in version 0.3.0+, with processing instruction %longestmatch, generated lexers will always pick the longest string to match, rather than the first. Generated lexers are slightly slower, but match behavior of legacy lexers like flex, lex, re2c.
