I was going to comment but I had no helpful suggestions on first
reading.  I could not see how what you were doing related to combinators
but then I suppose that was the question -- how to do it in C.

C lacks the key components to write a parser in that style, so there
would be so much supporting gubbins that I doubt it would be worth it.
Your post made me want to have a go, but never got round to it.
