You should consider using PCCTS (or ANTLR), http://www.antlr.org/ or
maybe the COCOM kit http://cocom.sourceforge.net/


If you want to code your compiler or parser in Ocaml
http://caml.inria.fr, you might consider using its Camlp4 - which
provide syntax extensions to write parsers;


However, you might have some issues with semantic processing
(i.e. handling of attributes).
