Hi all,
I was quite surprised to see that the C Parser was manually
implemented and you didn't use any parser generator.
I would be curious regarding this decision. I would think the
development of a C parser would be an almost unsurmountable task and
not very logic given the parser generators in existence today.
Can someone comment this? (which issues led to this decision?)
Regards,
