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.
