Source: ragel Section: devel Priority: optional Maintainer: Robert Lemmen Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 10.0.0), flex, bison, gobjc, transfig, texlive, texlive-latex-extra, ghostscript, gperf, sharutils Standards-Version: 4.1.3 Package: ragel Architecture: any Multi-Arch: foreign Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Description: compiles finite state machines into code in various languages Ragel compiles finite state machines from regular languages into C, C++, Objective-C, D, Ruby or Java code. Ragel allows the programmer to embed actions at any point in a regular language. Non-determinism can be controlled through the use of embedded priorities and guarded regular language operators. Ragel also supports the construction of scanners and the building of state machines using state-charts. Ragel can be used to create robust recognizers and parsers which run very fast. It can work with integer-sized alphabets and can compile large state machines. The generated code has no dependencies.
