category: Devel sdesc: "Finite state machine compiler" ldesc: "Ragel compiles executable finite state machines from regular languages. Ragel targets C, C++, and ASM. 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." homepage: http://www.colm.net/open-source/ragel/
