I have been playing around with ANTLR lately and I think it is actually
quite nice. On the web page it indicates that there is a potential common
lisp back-end in the works. Having looked at the AST it generates it
doesn't seem to me that this would be all that hard since it dumps sexps.
Has anyone on this list put any mojo into this? just curious before I
investigate further.
Thanks,
Jason

I did a rough, incomplete, C-> CL translator working off the sexp dump
(tho I got that by un-commenting out the line of code that dumped it
out, not sure we are talking about the exact same thing).
Yes, great fun. Actually did some of the translation right in the
pretty-printer I was using originally just to get sensible line breaks.
Off to Amsterdam soon to deliver the Kennynote Address at the ECLM Lisp
Golden Anniversary Smackdown, more on the rebound.
