[LLVMdev] LLVM grammar for ANTLR

[Samuel Crow]

Hello Surinder,

The existing hand-written parser is callable from almost anywhere so the only 
reason you'd need to have a parser for it would be to extend it.  Originally it 
was written using Flex and Bison but Chris Lattner rewrote it from scratch to 
catch more errors at the parsing stage.

The only feature I've found to be missing from the existing LLVM-AS utility was 
an include function with automatic unique detection.  This would allow the use 
of headers instead of having to manually copy and paste them into the source. 
 What were you planning on doing with your LLVM parser, if I may ask?
