Sparse (semantic parser) is a project for a C/C++ parser that might be
close to your needs.


Anyone being aware of any other free/open-source C parser (C89 or C99)
that performs semantic analysis (decomposing to intermediate code,
liveness analysis, basic block extraction etc). I'm aware of cil, but
i'm reluctant in using since it is written in OCaml and not C, C++ or
anything that i could easily maintain (my own changes to the
infrastructure).
