here is your problem: C is not context free. It is usually dealt with 
the "lexer hack" to use a parser for context-free grammar.

Also, parsing the syntax is only a minor step in most actual compilers. 
The big pile of work is in the optimizer (which is in theory optional) 
and the code generator, and another big pile is in the library. Pure C 
without the library is good for nothing.

That's why most regulars in this group are rather sceptical of Flibble's 
project. A more realistic approach would sit on top of LLVM, where years 
of work have been done already.
