I dont know if anyone has (though I believe Hartmut Kaiser created a C parser)
but AFAIK the problem with C++ parsers in general is that they dont tell the
whole story, because in C++ there is a huge amount of context specific
information. e.g in a template non-template, function argument scope, class
scope etc each of which has its own rules which are beyond a simple parsers
grasp.

Nevertheless It would be a very worthwile project ...  ;-)

Could also try asking on the Spirit developers list:
