Hi,
I have just one quick question in order to understand better:
Does FPC use lex (or flex) and yacc ?
I just noticed that h2pas uses it and I was wondering if fpc works like that too!
Thanks
Alain

No. Lex and yacc are too slow and too unflexible for production compilers.

Even gcc C++ and C have moved to a handwritten parser recently.
