  The C parser starts in gcc/c-parser.c.  There are a bunch of lexing routines
at the top, then you'll see a whole bunch of c_parser_XXXXX routines which
handle the individual grammar constructs.  Each one has a commnent at the top
describing the syntax elements it parses and referring to the paragraph of the
C standard where they're defined.  (If you don't have a copy of the C standard
handy, google "n1256.pdf").  Good luck!

    cheers,
