Recent Synopsis development

Hello,

The last Synopsis release was done quite a while ago. Neither the 
mailing list nor the IRC channel observed much traffic, which let many 
people believe the project was dead. Actually, nothing could be further 
from the truth !

I have been observing the development of the CLang project 
(http://clang.llvm.org) for quite a while, and since it has reached a 
fair level of feature-completeness and stability, I have started working 
on new CLang-based frontends for Synopsis' C and C++ parsers.

I'm very happy to report that this work is making great progress. 
Tonight I checked in a first batch of changes, and I'm expecting to keep 
making steady progress. All of this work is based on LLVM's trunk 
(against which I have already filed a couple of bug reports and even 
patches). Hopefully all of those issues will be fixed soon (i.e., in 
time for the next LLVM release), at which point I'll prepare a new 
Synopsis release based on LLVM, too.

Until then, please get LLVM from trunk 
(http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html), and Synopsis from 
http://synopsis.fresco.org/svn/synopsis/trunk.

Thanks,
         Stefan
