I don't think so. What I did is a port of c.bnf to the new grammar
framework, in BY format. I didn't check the new semantic-c.el in yet,
so the BNF file is still valid. I just sent you the c.by and its
corresponding semantic-c.el files so you can play with them, before
switching to the BY form ;-)

Thanks for the info!

IMO it is not necessary to have that bug fixed to release a first
beta (or alpha=3F) of Semantic 2.0. We could just add a "Known bugs"
topic to the release notes.
