Want Help with Source Navigator source code

[Salman Khilji <salman.khilji@reflectone.com>]

I wanted some help with the source code of the Source Navigator.  Usually,
the developers and maintainers do not like to be sent direct e-mails.  Their
e-mail addresses are:

Syd Polk		spolk@redhat.com
Ian Roxborough		irox@redhat.com
Mo DeJong		mdejong@redhat.com

If this is appropriate to ask, could you please forward this e-mail to them?
If not, can you please tell me who I need to contact in order to get some
help on this issue.  Here is my question:

NEED HELP WITH SOURCE CODE PARSING
==================================

I am developing a debugger type application for C/C++/FORTRAN (not exactly a
source line debugger).  I need access to the complete symbol table of the
target application.  This requires me to parse the source code of the
application and build a complete symbol table.  For example, I will parse
the source code and determine the type of each symbol.  For example, if a
given symbol is a structure, what are the structure members?  What is the
type of each structure member?  Ok, if a given symbol is an array, what kind
of an array is it?  What is its dimension?  Is it a multiple dimension
array?  If a given symbol is a pointer, is it pointing to a structure, a
float, etc?  Do I have an array of structures, pointers to structures etc
etc.

For this purpose, I need to have a parser for C, C++, and FORTRAN.  I have
downloaded the source code of Source Navigator.  I feel that I can somehow
extract the parsing specific code out of it and use it for my application.
The source code that I found was under the snavigator/parsers folder.
However, given the size of all the code out there, it would be hard for me
to dig into the code and find out how my main function should look like to
build a symbol table.  I'd suppose that the maintainers would know somewhat
about it and would have some sort of idea as to where and how the parsers
are used.  If you could give me pointers to where I need to look at the code
to extract parsing specific code, this would give me a great jump start.  Is
there a design documentation available that I can go through and find out
how each block of the software is put together?

Could I ask a maintainer of Source Navigator for this favor?
