IParse is an interpreting parser, meaning that it reads a grammar and interpret this to parse another file. It also uses a parsing driven scanner approach, where the parser calls the scanner to see if a certain type of scanner symbol is found on the input. A number of scanners are provided, including a raw scanner, which gives access to the raw input. The grammar allows definition of character ranges and white space terminals, thus allowing a scanner to be specified in the grammar.
Several parsing algorithms are provided and can be selected from the command line. The default parsing algorithm is a back-tracking parser, which uses memorization, resulting in a good overall performance.
IParse has a proven track record in many application (including a commercial application), but it should be noted that some parts are still under construction, such as the LL1HeapColourParser. The ParParser, an experimental parallel parser, has poor performance.
Also RcTransl, a tool for language translation between Windows resource files, is still under development.

Compiling with g++ (version 7.5) in software folder:
g++ -fno-operator-names all_IParse.cpp -o IParse
Compiling with clang (version 6.0) in software folder:
clang++ -fno-operator-names all_IParse.cpp -o IParse
On Windows use Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition with IParse.sln file.
On Linux in root folder:
software/IParse software/c.gr others/scan.pc -p scan_pc_output
diff scan_pc_output others/scan_pc_output
software/IParse software/c.gr others/scan.pc -unparse unparse_scan.pc
diff unparse_scan.pc others/unparse_scan.pc
The diff should not find any differences.
MarkDownC is a tool for performing literate programming with MarkDown files like the ones that are supported by GitHub. The idea is that you give this program a list of MarkDown files with fragments of C code and that the program figures out how to put these fragments together in a single C file, such that the file can be compiled. (I wrote about the conception of this idea in the blog article Literate programming with Markdown.) For examples on how to use the program, see:
Issue the following command to build the MarkDownC processor:
cd software
g++ -fno-operator-names all_IParse.cpp -o IParse
./IParse c_md.gr -o MarkDownCGrammar.cpp
g++ -g -fno-operator-names -Wall MarkDownC.cpp -o MarkDownC
Or:
cd software
clang++ -fno-operator-names all_IParse.cpp -o IParse
./IParse c_md.gr -o MarkDownCGrammar.cpp
clang++ -g -fno-operator-names -Wall MarkDownC.cpp -o MarkDownC
