It is usually claimed that lexical analysis routines are still coded by hand, despite the widespread availability of scanner generators, for efficiency reasons. While efficiency is a consideration, there exist freely available scanner generators such as GLA [Gray 1988] that can generate scanners that are faster than most hand-coded ones. However, most generated scanners are tailored for a particular environment, and retargeting these scanners to other environments, if possible, is usually… CONTINUE READING
