Holy cow has this gone off topic!  To OP - start writing a C context
free grammar of a subset of C (arithmetic expressions IMHO are the
historical root of C and a good place to start in any case), start
writing a parser of a subset of your subset grammar (in a lisp of your
chioce - Scheme and CL for instance are going to be pretty much
equivalent in this task), and really the rest will be obvious...

I'd go that far before posting on the topic again...
