This software provides a library of visual components for C++ Builder and Delphi to create analyzers and parsers of source codes. It includes components of the lexical analyzers for various programming languages and the C++ preprocessor.

The software library comprises of various components that cater to the needs of lexical analyzers such as C++, Object Pascal (Delphi), PHP, HTML, CSS1, and the C++ preprocessor. Additionally, it also features a complete set of base classes that enable users to create lexers and parsers of any other languages.
Developers can leverage Source Code Scanners components to build applications that require source code analyzing, designing, and interpreting. These include tools of help creation, calculators of expressions, designer of source codes, interpreters, compilers, and more.
The lexical analyzers utilize DFAs (Deterministic Finite Automata) to match tokens found on the character input stream. DFAs are defined by the set of regular expressions in a source code, and they are created at runtime. Furthermore, more than one automaton (lexical class, lexical tree) can be defined, and actions attached to regular expressions can switch from one lexical class to another. The TLexTree class maintains the conversion of a set of regular expressions into the DFA array.
Apart from this, Source Code Scanners also provides classes that support the seamless working of command-line options and calculating constant expressions.
Lastly, it's worth mentioning that the Professional edition of Source Code Scanners makes the full source code available to users. So, if you're in search of a software library that offers comprehensive components required to develop efficient and effective code analyzers and parsers, Source Code Scanners is a great option to consider.
