Hi,
      I've made a fairly simple change to GNU bison that causes it to
output its parse tree in XML format (rather than the usual list of
grammar rules). If gcc is then rebuilt using the new bison you get a
program that will annotate C, C++ and Java programs with XML tags
describing the syntactic categories of the code. There's still a
little hacking with gcc required, but most of the ugliness is
bypassed.


Details are at:
