language, tool A preprocessor, written by Kurt Bischoff of
Iowa State University, that extends and generalises the
syntax and semantics of Yacc, Lex, and C. Ox's
support of LALR1 grammars generalises yacc in the way that
augments Yacc and Lex specifications with definitions of
synthesised and inherited attributes written in C syntax.
Ox checks these specifications for consistency and
completeness, and generates a program that builds and
decorates attributed parse trees. Ox accepts a most general
class of attribute grammars. The user may specify
postdecoration traversals for easy ordering of side effects
