Generate C++ code for BNF grammar

I have looked at the following software tools:

ANTLR seems the most straight-forward, however its documentation is lacking. Ragel looks possible, too, but I do not see an easy way to convert BNF into its syntax.

What other tools are available that can take BNF input and generate a corresponding, Unicode-friendly, cross-platform, standalone, C++ parser?

Many thanks for all suggestions.

Edit: Changed Objective-C requirement to C++.
