I would not recommend using a parser generator tool to build a recognizer por any programming language,unless you design your language to be LL(1) or LL(k) witk a low value of k. Otherwise you are going to suffer a lot with parsing issues.
Parser generators usually have a very limited number of target languages, so you might find yourself stuck into a language you do not want to code in.
hmm, your results may vary (whitespace-sensitive languages, but that's tricky in pretty much any toolkit), but in my experience most DSLs that people want to write fit well within LL(k). Java works in it, after all.
I started out with Yacc, though, and that helped me out a lot more...
Agree. However Finally I was able to keep an uptime greater than 2 months on my Pi by using a wifi dongle and a bunch of cron scripts to keep alive the connection when my router reboots or the dongle 'freezes' which seems is a common issue when using RPi of any kind :(
I had that issue as well, where it would freeze if it transferred lots of data (as in, a large number of files in a dir would freeze it when doing ls on the terminal), and the problems went away with a higher-amperage power supply.
i connect my htpc via a Wi-Fi USB dongle as well. it runs both Linux and windows 7. and despite the os and drivers one model always hang after a day or so. another one, different model from same brand is online for months at a time.
I was expecting a answer like "my dongle X just works on the Pi" :-)
I do not doubt it is a problem with the hardware or the drivers, I just say it is a common problem with many dongle vendors specially in the Pi. I know I could buy a RPi-certified dongle, but I do not like wasting hardware if I can fix it just with a few scripts. No offense :)
