[Opensim-dev] LSL Lexer (was Critical Plugin Check)

[krtaylor]

I've been lightly investigating a non-regex parser/lexer/translator that 
would take LSL and produce C#.  I have been looking at some tools for c# 
parser generation, starting with an existing grammar helps, but it is a 
big task.

CodeDOM looks interesting. Once LSL was represented by a CodeDOM tree, 
translation into C# looks like it would be easier, and it looks like 
there are already tools that exist. Is there any problems with 
Linux/Mono?  I need to learn more about it, interesting...
