What are resources for building a static analyzer for C in C?

Question

I have a school project to develop a static analyzer in C for C.

Where should I start? What are some resources which could assist me?

I am assuming I will need to parse C, so what are some good parsers for C or tools for building C parsers?

Answer 1

I would first take yourself over to antlr, look at its getting started guide, it has a wealth of information about parsing etc.., I personally use antlr as it gives a choice of code generation targets.

To use antlr you need a c or c++ grammar file, pick of these up and start playing.

Anyway have fun with it..
