Both these combinations work well, at least if you're working with
traditional compiler texts and commonly available advice and expertise.


Both flex and bison build more or less out of the box on Windows with
the Visual C++ compiler, or with the Cygnus gcc (see
http://www.cygnus.com).


The Cygnus distribution, in fact, comes with byacc instead of bison (for
some strange reason, probably someone's bias there), so that's also an
option.


There are variants of byacc and bison out there that can produce
reentrant C++ parser classes (which you need for several kinds of
parsing problems).
