I knew virtually nothing about makefiles before I started working with SWIG.
I wish it could have remainded that way.

Ox compares to Yacc rather than SWIG. Ox allows you to specify a grammar,
and will generate a Euphoria module that will process text according to
those grammar rules. The 'official' reason for writing Ox was so that I'd
have a 'real' parser for my Euphoria version of SWIG, instead of the code I
had hacked together. Of course, I got caught up with Py, so I haven't
developed a C/C++ grammar yet.

There are a number of changes that I've made to it, but I haven't updated
anything yet. I'll probably post an update in a couple of days. The latest
version of Py is broken because Ox gets confused about handling decimal
points - it reads:

   [1..2]

as

   "["  "1." ".2" "]"

The parser worked in the prior version, but then I 'fixed' it. The current
version of Ox on my machine handles numbers much more robustly, and
recognizes exponents as well. After I release the next version of Py, I'll
probably have some time to repackage Ox.

Thanks!
