You might consider the DMS Reengineering Toolkit,
(http://www.semdesigns.com/Products/DMS/DMSToolkit.html),
designed for large-scale software system analysis and modification.


DMS provides considerably more than just parser generators,
including automatic tree building, procedural or source-to-source
transformations, prettyprinting from trees, attribute evaluation, etc.
It also has definitions available for many languages, including C/C++
(even the preprocessor!). It can be used to build applications
having multiple parsers/prettyprinters.


DMS is well maintained, being a commercial product.
Alas, it is presently not a Unix-based product; runs on W/NT.
