Hi,

We are planning to write an interpreter for a customized language in C++
with the help of tools like Lex(++) and Yacc(++).  Do you know about any
Lex++ and Yacc++ implementations that

  o generate C++ compatible sources at the least
  o make use of C++ concepts and generate not just compatible sources but
    full fledged C++ sources.

The "C++ Products and Books List" by Jean-Christophe Collet mentions the
following two

  1. Yacc++ from Compiler Resources, Inc.
  2. bison++ (is there a corresponding flex++?)

Do you know about any other implementation?  Have you used any of the above?
If so, what are your experiences?

Any feedback is appreciated.  Thanks.
