New opensource C/C++ Frontend

A new C/C++ frontend is being developed - clang. It’s aimed for the LLVM compiler infrastructure. The interesting part is the motivation for it (you can read about it in the slides introducing it) - the main goal is to get a good intermediate representation (AST) which can be easily consumed by other tools (static code analysis, etc.) Moreover, they want to have excellent diagnostics support (though this smells like fixing the problems with C and C++ from the wrong side, in my opinion the syntax is long due for an overhaul). Looks very interesting, and as Apple is behind this, there is hope that this one will eventually become usable.
