I researched this about a year and a half ago, and I found the same thing
you did. EDG is really the only viable option (although hugely expensive as
noted; one must consider the number of man-years that have gone into
it/would go into developing your own. We started out developing our own, and
gave up about the time we saw:
template <T> class temp {
      T::obj;
};


The PCCTS-based C++ parser needs tons of work. EDG does seem to work in most
cases.
