Not a generator as such, but Bigloo
[http://kaolin.unice.fr/~serrano/bigloo/bigloo.html] has extensive
support such reading:

4.8 Regular parsing

Programming languages have poor reading libraries since the lexical
information that can be specified is directly tied to the structure of
the language. For example, in C it's hard to read a rational number
because there is no type rational.  Programs have been written to
circumvent this problem: Lex [Lesk75], for example, is one of them. We
choose to incorporate in Bigloo a set of new functions to assist in
such parsing. The syntax for regular parser of Bigloo 2.0 (the one
described in this document) is not compatible with former Bigloo
versions.
