   As a back end for a compiler I would agree with this.  However, by   
   coincidence, in another forum I am involved in a discussion regarding   
   embedding a parser generator into a device so that its comm interface   
   can be reconfigured or extended in the field by the end user.   
   (There actually is a good reason for wanting to provide this 8-)   
      
   Because most parser tools generate C source, the issue of embedding a   
   C compiler also came up.
