Verrazano/CFFI R.I.P.?



heh-heh, pardon the inlfammatory subject, but you know me.

Just started working on a C to Lisp translator, using Antlr. This is detectibly more fun than translating from C to Lisp by hand. (I have a C app to translate. It had been translated (most of it) to Java long ago, but looking at that code I can see that (a) Java sucks and (b) it sucks in ways that badly damaged the code, the screaming issue being "no preprocessor". So no interest anymore in Java-to-CL.

Anyone else want to play? As Edi can tell you, I do not read doc very well, but I think Antlr will force my hand on that.

Or know a better way than Antlr? gcc_xml does not do function bodies. Bzzt. Interestingly, I am cannabilizing a GnuCEmitter working off a parser that does not look at the headers. That has caused surprisingly few problems, some of which I will be able to solve by teaching the GnuC Parser about some of my more diabolical C macros.
