Elsa does not parse C++.  

GCC/g++ parser is tightly integrated to GCC.

Most of the tools I know of are either "research projects" (which
means that they basically "die" when the professor get promoted or the
students graduate; they are lots of them out there) or are/ use
proprietary tools. 

We need to get GCC/g++ to a competing level of usefulness but the road
is not quite that straight.
