There are too many compiler generation tools to know them all.

we all know:
- lex and yacc
- flex and bison
and the pascal generating mutant

more recent:
- antlr (former pccts)
- eli and DEViL
- JavaCC
- Jaccie and SIC

older things like twig, burg and the like
- Coco/R was named already
- Gold Parsing System was totally new to me

and so on.

If you have fun fiddling with those tools some good starting points are:
