Re: Using Flex/Lex in a Cocoa project

[Dustin Robert Kick]

Just a thought, I haven't tried it, but the Core Foundation code is pure C, so you could send the NSString as a CFString, which is "toll- free bridged", which should mean you don't even have to make a cast (though, again, I haven't worked with this), but basically, you should be able to create a pure C function that invokes the lexer, and write the flex code to use the Core Foundation libraries, accepting a CFString, and I think that's all you'd need.

Unfortunately, I don't see a reliable or easy way to handle NSStrings correctly all the time with Flex. Does anybody have any suggestions for such text handling and reliable unicode aware regexes? I'm seriously not interested in implementing such details in C with Flex. Flex is fast and cool for that, but if it's going to be stupidly difficult to use reliably with other languages on a mac, it's not a good idea for me. http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/cocoa-dev/mac_vieuxnez %40mac.com
