Hi,

yes, that's perfectly fine! However, calling it "a complete Ruby parser done with SmaCC" is bit too optimistic. It is not complete and never was. Ruby's quite challenging with that respect (well, in many in fact :-)

Sorry I was maybe a little bit optimistic here :-)

If it's for analysis (i.e., you want to build FAMIX model and then analyse it), If I were you I'd just use a Ruby parser in Ruby (there are many), let it spit out sexprs and parse them in Smalltalk and make FAMIX model out of that.

If you manage to fix the SmaCC parser, I;d be __very__ interested. Please let me know.

This is more to add to the exiting collections of Parser of Thierry. Thank you.
