Abstract
In this paper we describe a technique that can be used
to annotate source code with syntactic tags in XML format.
This is achieved by modifying the parser generator
bison to emit these tags for an arbitrary LALR grammar.
We also discuss an immediate application of this technique,
a portable modification of the gcc compiler, that allows for
XML output for C, Objective C, C++ and Java programs.
While our approach is based on a representation of the
parse-tree and does not have the same semantic richness
as other approaches, it does have the advantage of being
language independent, and thus re-usable in a number of
different domains.
