[antlr-interest] C Grammar Status

[mzukowski at yci.com]

You can find more info at http://www.codetransform.com/gcc.html

Intel used it to translate GCC extensions to ANSI C to test their 64 bit
compiler on the linux kernel four years ago.  The AspectC aspect oriented
compiler was at least prototyped on this grammar too.  I have never heard of
a release of the AspectC compiler, though.

I wrote a transformer for Cisco, who the grammar was originally developed
for, to help them profile code by inserting stubs for function entrances and
exits.

Somebody even tried to build a C->Java translator out of it.

I'm not aware of any open source programs based on the grammar, if you find
any let me know.  Hey look what Google found:

This doc shows they use my GNUCParser:

I haven't touched it in a while but it's complete to version 2.95 of GCC and
ANSI C89.  I actually wrote a bid for upgrading this grammar to GCC 3.2 and
C99 and have notes on specific features and what it would take to implement
them.

I'm also open to any patches/improvements, and of course I'm available for
consulting on it.

Dear Group,

Can anyone let me know the status of the GNU C grammar on antlr.org?

I know the C++ grammar on antlr.org is pretty out of date.  I see dates like
1997 on the C grammar, but is it reasonably correct relative to Standard C,
and usable with the current release of ANTLR?

Does anybody have any experience to offer with this grammar?

Thanks in advance,

- Tom
