I too have a looming spectre of a C++ analysis project, one of the goals of the project is to be able to efficiently process huge volumes (read GBs) of code.  Given the current benchmarks of language.c compared to the g++ front end. I was thinking of using an existing C++ parser written in C++, probably Elsa[1]. Then use haskell to analyze the resulting AST.

The link seems to be dead at the moment.

From a parsing standpoint, C++ is a massive departure from C. Good luck though.

to use Parsec as the parser.

Is there an existing Parsec parser for C or C++ (or Java) that could
serve as a starting point?

Thanks, Roy
