Hi,


Where can I find the latest ANSI C++ grammar (BNF) and lex specification?


Could somebody give pointers to available yacc spec. grammar and lex spec
of C++.


Thanks,
Krishnan
[People keep asking this. I don't know of anything newer than Roskind's
grammar that's mentioned in the FAQ. The grammar of C++ is so ambiguous
that it's nearly impossible to parse with standard yacc. There are some
modified versions that can back up and try alternatives that people have
written with C++ in mind. See the archives. -John]
