[antlr-interest] Re: Need help: How to remove comments before parsing?

[John D. Mitchell]

Your sketch of how you're trying to handle C preprocessor constructs
doesn't sound powerful enough to be correct.  It's more complicated than
you think. :-) :-(

I'd suggest getting a copy of the C Standard and particularly studying the
early phases of translation that they explain.  You can also look at the
Standard C ('89) grammar that's part of the GCC bundle that we built
(available on antlr.org) for some help on some of those phased (but not on
the CPP mess).

Hope this helps,
