No, that is not what we're talking about. LLVM can be used as a back-end for GCC's C and C++ parsers, but that involves a lot of cruft from GCC. Clang is a new, from-scratch, all-C++ parser that will be an alternative LLVM front end for C and C++. Without this cruft, I assume you're very tempted to port your variadic template compiler to clang. Is that right?
On another topic, I took a brief look at:

It maybe too late now, but I'd think boost's wave might have saved them some time in writing the preprocessor.
Definitely. But I checked and they did a decent job! Their preprocessor is excellent, some stuff isn't implemented yet (i.e. UCNs), but what's there is ok. Regards Hartmut
