[antlr-interest] Custom AST? How to write a compiler?

Hi,
Are there any hidden issues that complicate using Custom AST's in C++
mode?
Is the "Custom AST Types" patch still required on newer releases (say
2.7.3 from Ric) of Antlr?
Okay, now the BIG question. I trying to utilize Antlr to construct a
'C' compiler, the final output of which would be P code (for a stack
machine lets say). Would Custom AST's derived from Antlr's be
suitable for this, or should I discard it all in favor of creating and
manipulating my own AST's?
I have read much of Ian's comments, and some past list comments on
this, but am still undecided. Incidently, the compiler does not have
to be particularly fast or produce optimal code (has to be correct
though). I just need to be able to complete it in the forseeable
future ;)
Thanks,
Henry
