C grammar example #358

Is there an example that shows how to parse a c grammar? Or is this too much for PEGTL? |

We do not currently have an example for the C grammar. I don't think it would be too much for the PEGTL to implement a C parser, however it's a bit too much for an example that we would write just "for fun", i.e. without having a serious use case for it. We'd be happy to give support if you were to write one, and are always open to contributions ;-) |

Sounds great. For reference I mostly go with these grammars. One problem I am currently running into is, how to structure everything in a way that allows me to use the 'must' rule for parsing errors. Oftentimes you need to look far ahead to know if you really match the current rule, but then must already fires if it is the wrong one. Do you have any good solutions to that? |

Can you show an example of this difficulty? |
