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.

Programming from Top to Bottom - Parsing
You can never mistake type_declaration with an identifier, otherwise the program will not work. Aside from that constraint, you are free to name them whatever you like, there is no one standard, and each parser has it own naming conventions, unless you are planning to use something like LLVM. If you are interested, you can see examples of naming in different language parsers in the AST Explorer.

Look ma, I wrote a new JIT compiler for PostgreSQL
> There is one way to make the LLVM JIT compiler more usable, but I fear it’s going to take years to be implemented: being able to cache and reuse compiled queries.
Actually, it's implemented in LLVM for years :) https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/a98546ebcd2a692e...

C++ Safety, in Context
> It's true, this was a CVE in Rust and not a CVE in C++, but only because C++ doesn't regard the issue as a problem at all. The problem definitely exists in C++, but it's not acknowledged as a problem, let alone fixed.
Can you find a link that substantiates your claim? You're throwing out some heavy accusations here that don't seem to match reality at all.
Case in point, this was fixed in both major C++ libraries:
https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/commit/ebf6175464768983a2d...
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/4f67a909902d8ab9...
So what C++ community refused to regard this as an issue and refused to fix it? Where is your supporting evidence for your claims?

Rewrite the VP9 codec library in Rust
Through value tracking. It's actually LLVM that does this, GCC probably does it as well, so in theory explicit bounds checks in regular C code would also be removed by the compiler.
How it works exactly I don't know, and apparently it's so complex that it requires over 9000 lines of C++ to express:
