On this side of the pound, we have a preprocessor(base on the IBM CDT) and
work in progress ported the JavaCC C++ IBM parser.
But we will happilly let this go for the "Open C++", if you feel that it is
a better strategy for the long run. There are lots of other pieces involve
in this, feel free to let me know your strategy.
- one of the nagging issue, is storing/indexing the information.
- dealing with different paths base on defines etc ...
