I have a copy of the draft (28 April 1995) ANSI C++ Standard. Appendix A has a rough grammar for the language. I've found several (more than five) errors already, if anybody is interested in them. I have no doubt whatsoever that the small itallic font is to discourage OCR scanning of the grammar. :-) Does anybody have the parser or grammer for lex and yacc for C++? (Ideally, for the newly proposed standard?) I could write my own, but would rather not. If nobody has the grammar available, I'm going to write my own from Appendix A. It's a pain, but I'll do it anyway. If you've found any errata in Appendix A, please let me know and I'll summarize and post. Also, does each vendor write its own grammar, or is this purchased somehow from the standards committee or other vendors? I don't want to write another compiler, but want a language parser for documentation generation. (Academic interest).
