hi again,

another thing, are you experienced with the various parsing libraries of boost?

No, I have made only some toy examples with Spirit long time ago.

I know that they're not capable of analyzing C++ code, but it seems to me that the code transformation required for our little language extension is fairly simple.

boost has compliant preprocessor, so macros aren't a problem. the most complicated thing would be to detect if a transaction is in a user-loop or not, so the grammar would have to be able to read for/while/... loops and correctly parse c++ scopes. does anything like that already exist?

To do something like that I will use LLVM that gives already this possibility. Of course starting to use LLVM will be not easy, but will open much more possibilities than a specific parsing. Best, Vicente
