parsing C code

hello,

I would like to parse C code with a (Gnu)Bison program. Can I find the
Bison definition of C somewhere, or do I have to start from scratch ?

thank you

K&R2 includes a C grammar which is almost Bison-ready.

Did you try googling for C grammar?

The very first hit looked pretty useful to me.

yes,

My first thought was to not re-invent the wheel :->

My first thought is to get you to find the URL yourself, rather than
spoonfeed it to you.

Still, we could back-and-forth like this all day and get nowhere. Here:

Why reinvent the wheel. Did you look at doxygen and cc-doc type
tools. They parse C and C++ code.
