My goal is to provide a fully standard compliant C++ parser with C++ and python APIs to access the processing pipeline as well as the abstract syntax tree for maximum power and flexibility.
Stefan has recently been trying to get compile-time constants from sizeof() into the parser. As he knows, this is going to mean handling such things as template instantiation and overload resolution. This is a great opportunity to learn more about how C++ works and to create a compiler platform that's actually usable by C++ programmers for prototyping new features -- one of the major obstacles in C++ standardization is that the source for the only open-source C++ compiler has a steep learning curve.
Yea. I was thinking that a library which can perform overload resolution (for example), and *can explain* everything which happens in the process, would be a great help for learning C++ and for new features. - Volodya
