phoenix is some library to create lambda functions. This is not what I need. I want to get objects out, which I can later work on.

What sort of "work" do you want to do with these objects?

I want to manipulate these objects. I want to iterate over these objects and create a new set of objects.

I don't think anyone understands what you're trying to do. If you want to capture and manipulate the syntax tree of arbitrary expressions, consider something like Boost.Proto. Proto is commonly used to make embedded languages with C++ syntax. This will not capture things like flow control structures, but you can trivially define your own if_, for_-alikes through terminals, the semantics of which you define in your Proto grammar. If this sounds like something that fits your use case, consider watching the Boostcon presentations on Proto, and read the documentation. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
