Hi, I'm looking at adding support for PHP to flex, and it looks generally feasible.
What I don't quite understand is the reasoning behind flex's skeleton system. While Bison's is pretty straight forward, - CMIIW - flex processes the skeleton with m4 to a C array, then implements some "%if-..." control structures of its own and processes the result again with m4 (offering the user another set of control structures for his code). The only technical advantage to Bison's that I can see from a distance is that in this way the whole shebang is contain- ed in one binary. So with regard to my goal, should I go for "%if-php-only", or would a patch to streamline the skeleton system first be met favourably?
