This may be a dumb question, but is there any reason the C++ parser in
llvm/clang can't be used? It is compatible with gcc, and AFAIK it is
rather easy to make it spit out an AST in the format you want.
The LLVM developers are very open to suggestions, and many people have
used LLVM in their own projects.
Apparently LLVM ships with OCaml bindings by default, so it may not be
too hard to use it.
