Hmmm... Or you could try using pegged (or CTPG or goldie or dparser).

I haven't played with it too much, but there's a C grammar, and it mentions the ability to specify semantic actions, so.... That's like 1/3 of the way to something usable.

Writing C++ grammar parser in Pegged/Goldie from scratch so that it can produce usable AST... Well, good luck! :)

I know right?  (I figured there's probably a half-baked one floating
around somewhere...)

But we kinda need something good like http://luajit.org/ext_ffi.html...

I simply don't understand why do you find libclang unsuitable.

hmmm?  I never said it was unsuitable, I think you mistaking me for
someone else.
(I also have no experience with libclang, and I'm tired of manually
translating these things...  So, am I looking for a way to not translate
this?  Yes.)


Also I'm pretty sure I'd need help with something like this...

Could you use the pre compiled binary in the mean time:

I forgot to put a link to the downloads on the front page.

Hell yeah!
I didn't realize dstep was yours.


If I can do anything to help, let me know.

It works with DMD 2.062. To get it to work with DMD 2.063 there are is regression that needs to be fixed for find a workaround for. Tango fails to compile because of this.
