- Well, hmm... To clarify that a bit:
-
- The C++ grammar that is being discussed in comp.lang.tools.pccts is
- written using, suprise!, the Purdue Compiler Construction Toolset
- (PCCTS). It's parser generator is known as ANTLR. ANTLR *generates*
- C or C++ code for it's parsers. ANTLR itself is written in C and is
- very portable and it's generated code is fairly portable.
-
- Take care,
- John
