The following list is of projects which are known to "use" Bison in the looser sense, that they use free software development tools and distribute code which is intended to be fed into Bison or a Bison-compatible package. Bash shell uses a yacc grammar for parsing the command input. Bison's own grammar parser is generated by Bison. [11]
Flex (fast lexical analyzer generator) is a free and open-source software alternative to lex. [2] It is a computer program that generates lexical analyzers (also known as "scanners" or "lexers").
GNU Bison – parser generator intended to replace yacc GNU build system (autotools) – contains Autoconf , Automake , Autoheader, and Libtool GNU Compiler Collection – optimizing compiler for many programming languages , including C , C++ , Fortran , Ada , and Java
Berkeley Yacc (byacc) is a Unix parser generator designed to be compatible with Yacc.It was originally written by Robert Corbett and released in 1989. [3] Due to its liberal license and because it was faster than the AT&T Yacc, it quickly became the most popular version of Yacc. [4]
Yacc (Yet Another Compiler-Compiler) is a computer program for the Unix operating system developed by Stephen C. Johnson.It is a lookahead left-to-right rightmost derivation (LALR) parser generator, generating a LALR parser (the part of a compiler that tries to make syntactic sense of the source code) based on a formal grammar, written in a notation similar to Backus–Naur form (BNF).

GNU Bison – Yacc-compatible parser generator program GNU C Library – GNU implementation of the standard C library Pages displaying short descriptions of redirect targets GNU Compiler Collection – Free and open-source compiler for various programming languages
While useful, pure parser generators only address the parsing part of the problem of building a compiler. Tools with broader scope, such as PQCC, Coco/R and DMS Software Reengineering Toolkit provide considerable support for more difficult post-parsing activities such as semantic analysis, code optimization and generation.
Lex is a computer program that generates lexical analyzers ("scanners" or "lexers"). [1] [2] It is commonly used with the yacc parser generator and is the standard lexical analyzer generator on many Unix and Unix-like systems. An equivalent tool is specified as part of the POSIX standard. [3]
