There is a Wikipedia article:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX


It seems to be a binary format, which may (or may not) make Flex/Bison
unsuitable as tools.

If the binary format is proprietary, you will have a hard bumpy road
trying to create a grammar. Some people are doing this force example for
the Mac OS program HyperCard; see
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/hypocard>.


You benefit from people having done this before, as well as some others
interested in DirectX specifically.
