[antlr-interest] Antlr v4 - C++ target

[Gokulakannan Somasundaram]

Hi All,
         I have decided to spend some time to come up with a C++ Target for
ANTLR 3.4, as i need it desperately for my project. I have started working
on it and i am going to come with a initial version within a week or two.
My ideas
a) The details of the parser related functionality will be stolen from C
Target
b) It is not going to have function pointers/virtual functions. Its going
to be all templates
c) It is going to be a header-only library.
d) Its going to have Exception handling
e) I am going to replace structures like string, vector, stack, hash map,
list etc with data structures in C++
f) I am trying to make it as much type-safe as possible

But Since i don't have much experience with building Trees, i am not going
to touch the .stg files of the Tree Parser. I need some-one to take it up,
once i put out the first version.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Gokul.
