Irony for springboard into VS integration

[torial]

Has anyone tried to use Irony to integrate into VS? (E.g. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/V ... rvice.aspx)

Also, is there a grammar for Cobra lying around... if anyone hasn't tried this?

I haven't looked into Irony as I'm usually busy on the compiler. We certainly need people like you to investigate these ideas.

We don't have a distilled formal grammar. Sources for this information are:

http://cobra-language.com/trac/cobra/wiki/LanguageTopics

http://cobra-language.com/docs/manual/

http://cobra-language.com/trac/cobra/browser/cobra/trunk/Source/CobraParser.cobra

Although for that last one, you would be better off with the local file in a syntax highlighting file.

I also recall that Visual Studio has a very high level hook with a callback that asks for token types. The callback can be backed by anything. For example, the Cobra parser itself.
