FYI, there also exists AdaGOOP (Ada Generator of Object-Oriented Parsers), =
which has had releases from June 2000 to 15 January 2008
https://AdaGOOP.MartinCarlisle.com

AdaGOOP is archived with SCAYACC and SCAFLex, which is a derivative of AYAC=
C and AFLex.  AdaGOOP reportedly has been updated to generate Ada2005 code.=
  I have no idea whether AdaGOOP's snapshot of SCAYACC and SCAFLex is bette=
r or worse than Ada-France's AYACC and AFlex.

If you evaluate both 1) AdaGOOP's yacc & flex for Ada and 2) Ada-France's y=
acc & flex for Ada, please report back which one you think is better (e.g.,=
 in better shape, if forked from a common ancestor) and why.
