[LLVMdev] ANTLR?

[Mai, Haohui]

For a LL(1) parser, it might be a little bit difficult to parse complex 
grammar like C++, but it might work.

ANTLR worked great when other codes were written in Java, but it was a 
little bit painful when using other languages like python.

I worked on it two years ago. I guess they might have some improvement now.
