I would recommend using re2c instead.

1. It integrates with source code nicely. You just write comment in re2c language right inside your C++ or C code and it is replaced by generated code. No need to have separate gperf input file for each lookup table, containing mix of C++ and gperf configuration which is not IDE-friendly. 

2. If you are writing tokenizer, gperf requires you to extract word from input text before you can match it against table, while with re2c you can match tokens on the fly while you are scanning text
