Hello out there,
for a moment I was really happy to be able to parse C from Tcl (ref.
to "Added a missing piece'). But I soon found out that my expectations
(e.g. obtain all infos about an assignment: destination, source
operands and operators) were somewhat naive.
Ok, it's back to the Dragon book - but I forgot the title. Anyone
knows?
Best regards
Helmut Giese

That's the Green Dragon Book, now 15-20 years out of date.
The Red Dragon Book, "Compilers: Principles, Techniques and
Tools" is the current Dragon Book.
