Abstract

Although compiler keywords can be recognized directly in LEX (or flex) these tools are rather slow. MKWHAT is a tool that can be used to generate a keyword recognizer that will recognize key words using a minimal number of comparisons. Keywords may be either case sensitive or case insensitive.
