Re: [PATCH 00/14] glr2.cc: fix linking conflicts

[Thomas Shields]

Hans,

Thanks for the note.

I should have mentioned that the version of Ox I was reporting against is 1.10 
(under development, I’m the only developer).

I’m in the process of “upgrading” the Ox source from C to C++, allowing me to 
simplify the Ox implementation.

Akim’s patches fix some problems I reported when I switched the Ox parser specs 
to use the Bison C++ skeleton, and also switched from the legacy ‘%union’ to 
Bison’s ‘%define api.value.type variant’ directive.

Once I get through the initial cleanup effort (replacing malloc, calloc, 
realloc, free, strdup, & strndup; converting to use C++ library containers; and 
rewriting the output manager) and get Ox through the portability tests (on 
Linux, Solaris & Windows), I’ll release 1.10. It will probably take me another 
week to get through this.

Regards,

Tom Shields
