P.S. To answer your question more directly: *yes*. Parsing C is 
extremely tricky, especially using a parser generator. Long story short: 
the parser has to maintain an environment and feed the information to 
the lexer, and the lexer has to make sure it doesn't look ahead to far 
before the environment has been appropriately updated. It's one of 
history's glorious botches (a remarkable proportion of which seems to 
belong to C). Of course, C++ would be orders of magnitude harder...
