Yeah, I came across this recently. It's pretty decent looking. I briefly
looked at their C parser (also implemented as a lex/yacc style lexer &
parser). Theirs also covers Sun and MS C language extensions, that is
Sun CC's pragmas and MS's numerous extensions.

Sadly this didn't popup when I was googling for yacc style LALR(1) C
grammars or I might have saved myself some time by porting their grammar
to alex+happy.
