Hi Chiba,

thanks for the quick response !

Thank you, that confirms my impression.

As I'd like to work on this in the context of synopsis, I'd definitely
prefer to collaborate, i.e. at least try to design (and document) the
missing pieces of the parse tree together with OpenCxx developers.
Is there any interest into this from OpenCxx users / developers ? Is
OpenCxx still being developped at this point ?

Kind regards,
