On: Hammer: Parser Combinators for C

[buserror]

I've been using ragel for a few years, and really like it; but it does have the problem of not handling very well bit based structures (or, even, 8 bits based structures).

Also, the author closed the mailing list and packed up; presumably to work for a company who 'bought him out'. Closing the mailing list was a notch rude...

Hammer does look pretty nice, I'm definitely going to have a poke at it!

You can sort of use bitfields with ragel if you fashion a bit iterator in C++. And why do you say you can't process binary / 8bit structures?

I'm still hopeful Ragel 7 will happen.
