#HELP - Handy Esoteric Language Preprocessor

• For developers:

  • Compile with -std=c++11 and link to libboost_regex (unforutnately stdlib's regex isn't working properly yet).

  • TODO:

    • Make the initial character that indicates a HELP macro user-specified. ('#' can't always be used)

    • Documentation!

    • Better code! (more C++11)

    • More testing of invariants.

    • Automated tests.

• What is HELP?

  HELP is a preprocessor intended to allow faster writing of programs in esoteric programming languages. Its macro's are actually regular expressions, allowing the esolang's syntax to be extended.

• HELP example:

    # something (\d+) := \1 something
  
    something 10
  

  Will be substituted to: "10 something"
