How can I implement an Editor which supports a mixed language whose grammar is mixed of C and C++? [message #691266]

Hi,
Eclipse C editor can check syntax errors. I am trying to implement a kind of editor that should support a C-like language(standard c language + some other grammar).I want the editor to check the syntax error. But the grammar may be a mixed grammar. It is mainly a C grammar but it also mixes some C++ grammar in it.

The language should support statements like:
extern "**" int a;

But as I know, this kind of statement is only supported in C++ language. So Can I just extend any extension point and reuse the existing C parser or C++ parser, overriding some methods to add some grammar rules to achieve this? Or I should re-implement a new parser?

Thanks!

What you need to do is not only a new parser,you also have to re-implement a new language and a series relative classes.Since the codan checker is based on index parser,which need more work to do.
