Re: Parsing partial sentences

I think the short answer is "no there is not an easy way to handle C
#defines," it is fairly hard. Easiest is to get an open source
preprocessor and use it to convert the C file to preprocessed C. Then use
your converter on that.


I have one that kind of almost works posted on my site that you can look
at to see one stab at the problem from a formal parsing approach. I think
most real preprocessors are less parsers and more just a program. They do
need to be able to parse the C constant expression grammar though.
