The C and C++ frontends in current GCC use handwritten lexers and parsers. The 
lexer is closely integrated with the preprocessor. Previous versions of GCC 
used Bison (also with handwritten lexers), the Bison parser for C++ was 
replaced with a handwritten recursive descent parser in GCC 3.4, for C it 
happened in 4.1.
