Is there an alternative for flex/bison that is usable on 8-bit embedded systems?

Question

I\'m writing a small interpreter for a simple BASIC like language as an exercise on an AVR microcontroller in C using the avr-gcc toolchain. However, I\'m wondering if there

Answer 1

GCC can cross-compile to a variety of platforms, but you run flex and bison on the platform you're running the compiler on. They just spit out C code that the compiler then builds. Test it to see how big the resulting executable really is. Note that they have run time libraries (libfl.a etc.) that you will also have to cross compile to your target.
