Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How to provide input file for Flex++?
I am using Flex++, which is Flex for C++ and I am having trouble setting the input file. Flex++ uses the FlexLexer class provided in FlexLexer.h to create the lexer object(https://github.com/westes/flex/blob/master/src/FlexLexer.h). In my main function I have

Do Regular Expressions only evaluate one line at a time?
Further applications of DFA and NFA: lex or flex, yacc or bison, and POE :-)

Cool C projects
How about writing a programming language using Flex and Bison? There are lots of good tutorials and examples out there.
-
Parser and Lexer bike-shedding
Some lexer generators (notably Flex) take input from a file handle by default. While you can always read a file into a string before passing it to the generated lexer, this is not seen as "the best" since you have to read in all the data into memory, which can be a lot.

A Good Tool for Resuming Parsers?
Ages ago, I loved writing domain-specific toy languages, and almost always used flex to generate lexers and GNU bison to generate the parser. I've begun a new toy project and I don't think those two will cut it this time, so I'm looking for other tools that integrate well with C++.

Please no
I don't understand :c don't lexers like Flex work off of regex rules? Isn't this the correct first step to parse it?

A work in progress C compiler from scratch
I wrote a C compiler using flex [1] and bison [2]. The glue between them is a bit hacky.
At some point ANTLR [3] looked promising, but these days I'd probably write a lexer and recursive descent parser by hand, then generate LLVM IR.

Dealing with lex and yacc is DIFFICULT so little information is available about them!

Qual’è il commento più assurdo che avete mai trovato nel sorgente di un software?
Un commento in flex, uno storico software, tanto per mostrare che anche i migliori fanno le cose alla buona.

Show HN: I wrote a RDBMS (SQLite clone) from scratch in pure Python
Lark supports, and recommends, writing and storing the grammar in a .lark file. We have syntax highlighting support in all major IDEs, and even in github itself. For example, here is Lark's built-in grammar for Python: https://github.com/lark-parser/lark/blob/master/lark/grammar...
You can also test grammars "live" in our online IDE: https://www.lark-parser.org/ide/
The rationale is that it's more terse and has less visual clutter than a DSL over Python, which makes it easier to read and write.

Oops, I wrote yet another SQLAlchemy alternative (looking for contributors!)
First, let me introduce myself. My name is Erez. You may know some of the Python libraries I wrote in the past: Lark, Preql and Data-diff.

Hey guys, have any of you tried creating your own language using Python? I'm interested in giving it a shot and was wondering if anyone has any tips or resources to recommend. Thanks in advance!
It's not super maintained but you might enjoy building something with ppci, Pure Python Compiler Infrastructure. It has some front-ends and some back-ends. There's also PeachPy for an assembler. People like using Lark for parsing, I hear.

Is it possible to propagate higher level constructs (+, *) to the generated parse tree in an LR-style parser?
lark, a parsing library where I am somewhat involved has a really nice solution to this: Rules starting with _ are inlined in a post processing step.

can you create your own program language in python, if yes how?
Lark is a good library to assist with this.

Not Your Grandfather’s Perl
A grammar provides the high level constructs you need to define the "shape" of your data, and it largely takes care of the rest. Grammar libraries exist in other language (eg. lark or Parsimonius in Python) and they weren't created just to make XML parsing easier.

Earley Parsing Explained
I made a solid attempt at an Earley parser framework of my own, but apparently to get the most reliable performance from Earley parsing you need to implement Joop Leo's improvement for right-recursive grammars, which nobody has been able to adequately explain to me. I've read Kegler's open letter to Vaillant, I've tried to read other implementations, I've even tried to beat my head against the original academic paper, but I don't have the background knowledge to make sense of it all.
