Hi Victor,

Sorry I don't have much recollection of how the project was built as 
it's been years the last time I had a look.
The parser is very incomplete and does not support all valid C++03 (not 
even speaking of C++1x's).
I would suggest you instead take a look at CLang and LLVM for the task 
you're aiming at.

I hope this helps,
MAT.
