As a minor point, the current 3.x release of ANTLR has a (somewhat experimental) objective C API, but doesn't have a C++ API, you have to use the C API instead. I think ANTLR 2.7.x has the C++ API, but I've never used it. The ANTLR Objective C API appears to be making good progress and I'm hoping to switch from the C to Obj C APIs when ANTLR 4.0 is released. I'm also looking forward to giving CoreParse a try too. It looks great.
