I'm looking for a tool that parses C declarations and constructs a
simple symbol table. I want to use this to parse simple .h files and
generate equivalent data structures in other languages, such as PL/I.


There used to be a program called 'explain' that read C declarations
and "explained them". I went looking in the uunet archives and
couldn't find anything appropriate. Anybody else got ideas?


I suppose I could start with a complete C front-end, but that would be
a lot of work to reduce to just a declaration parser.


Please email or followup to comp.compilers (I don't read comp.lang.c
or comp.lang.c++)
