re2c is a free and open-source software lexer generator for C. Originally written by Peter Bumbulis and described in his paper,[1] it was put in public domain and has been since maintained by volunteers.[2] It is the lexer generator adopted by projects such as PHP,[3][4] SpamAssassin,[5] Ninja build system[6] and others. In combination with Lemon parser generator it is used in BRL-CAD as a platform-agnostic and easily compilable alternative to Flex and Bison.[7][8][9] This combination is also used with STEPcode, an implementation of ISO 10303 standard.[10]
