Subject: Re: [question] Verilog RTL parser in Ruby?

I'd be interested.  I'm in the IC design industry.  I wrote a
verilog-2005 parser using antlr/java about a year ago (never
released it).  Now I'm into ruby and writing a general parser
that has a superset of the features in antlr.  Here is my first
cut at it:

http://www.ruby-talk.org/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/138450

Now that my cursor package (using this for both my character
and token streams) is to a good point, I'm back to working on
my grammar package (renamed because of another rubyforge
"syntax" project).

I wouldn't mind making a verilog parser the first target of
this.
