ldesc: "Ragel compiles executable finite state machines from regular
languages.  Ragel targets C, C++, and ASM.  Ragel state machines can
not only recognize byte sequences as regular expression machines do,
but can also execute code at arbitrary points in the recognition of a
regular language.  Code embedding is done using inline operators that
do not disrupt the regular language syntax."
