state machine compiler

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

Ragel compiles executable finite state machines from regular languages. It targets C, C++, and Ruby. Ragel state machines can not only recognize byte sequences as regular expression machines do, but can also execute code at arbitrary points in the recognition of a regular language. Code embedding is done using inline operators that do not disrupt the regular language syntax.
