So I'm taking another stab at writing a quasi-literate-programming tool, which, as I am writing things in C with it, requires a credible C parser to find declarations of stuff.
And while Perl has lots of C parsing tools of varying quantity, including a sample with Parse::Eyapp (which is quite fascinating in its own right), none of them are easily adapted - with the exception of the Inline tools. Inline::C::ParseRegExp, for example, which does exactly what I want it to - find declarations of stuff.
Python, though, has pycparser. (And of course, Perl has Inline::Python...)
And then, as always, there is Marpa. I still have a big fat to-do on my list that says "Learn Marpa". There's a new set of tutorials on Kegler's blog. I need to work through those.
Update: I realized I was wrong. I don't actually need a parser - just a tokenizer for C. This is because all I need to do is cross-reference all identifiers, and the job is done.
