Well, hmm... To clarify that a bit:


The C++ grammar that is being discussed in comp.lang.tools.pccts is
written using, suprise!, the Purdue Compiler Construction Toolset
(PCCTS). It's parser generator is known as ANTLR. ANTLR *generates*
C or C++ code for it's parsers. ANTLR itself is written in C and is
very portable and it's generated code is fairly portable.


Take care,
John
