Hi all,

I intend to use gcc's C++ parser and the intermediate representation
it creates for use in source browsing, etc. I have a few questions
regarding this: firstly, is it possible to plug out the parser and
intermediate representation code (presumably only in the front-end?)
relatively easily? If so, can somebody offer hints on where I could
start? I am currently looking into the gcc/cp front-end subdirectory,
but clearly, there are a number of dependencies inside the main gcc
code as well.

The other question is: the build process for gcc is quite hairy -
stage1, etc. etc. Since I am not concerned with code generation or
optimization at all, I don't think I would need this. How would I
begin simplifying the auto* and Makefile.in's to allow building the
parser as a stand-alone entity?

Thanks in advance for any help or pointers!
Ashwin
