        I am working a C interpreter. I am not very far yet, but I have
        a flex/bison lexer/parser that parse Ansi C code (or nearly)
        and preprocessor statements. This would save your program the
        trouble of passing files through cpp first.


        My program has a symbol table a few other things, but not much else,
        so you would probably have to "build-up" a ways to get what you're
        looking for, but IMHO, that is much easier than trying to rip
        sections out of complicated code.


        Send mail for info or a copy of what I have so far.
