For a LL(1) parser, it might be a little bit difficult to parse complex
grammar like C++, but it might work.<br>
<br>
ANTLR worked great when other codes were written in Java, but it was a
little bit painful when using other languages like python.<br>
<br>
I worked on it two years ago. I guess they might have some improvement
now.<br>

some way away and we need something that works or nearly works now.
Does anyone have any experience with ANTLR for parsing C++ and for
extending their C++ parser? Any other feedback on ANTLR in general
would be welcome too. Thanks,<br>
