Qt scanner generator
-
Hey all,
I'm looking for a Qt-compatible scanner generator to go along with "qlalr":http://qt.nokia.com/developer/qtquarterly/qlalr-adventures/. That is I'm looking for a lexer to work with qlalr much as flex is often used to work with bison or lex with yacc.
Does anybody know of such a beast or should I just hand-code a lexer for my particular case?

I've found one way that gets me part way there with flex which is to simply use the under-documented function yy_scan_string() and pass in QByteArray.constData() as the argument before calling the yyparse() function. ie:
@
...
QByteArray ba = myString.toUtf8();
YY_BUFFER_STATE string_buffer = yy_scan_string( ba.constData() );
yyparse();
yy_delete_buffer(string_buffer);
@That will probably get me close enough for this little project as I am not expecting to have to worry about UTF16.
