  1. I build I c header parser a long time ago. The first try was just to recognize keywords and attempt a translation, much like a macro processor. I klash-trashed around with it for some time, and the program got quite large. Finally I decided that it wouldn't work in terms of handing all case, so I realized that the program needed to be the top half of a C compiler with the bottom (actual code generation) chopped off. I rewrote the program as a scanner/preprocessor followed by a syntax follower. That worked much better.
