   Despite the proclaimed benefits in this thread of a tool-generated   
   parser over a hand-crafted parser, the GCC hackers seem inclined to   
   move towards hand-crafted parsers. Both the C++ and the C front-ends   
   were converted to use hand-crafted parsers in recent times. The   
   following messages provide some of the reasons:
