I think I remember it was done by someone, a long time ago.

This was the way it was done I belive.

The grammar is described by a yecc file (igparser.yrl).

Well, at the time IG was written, the Erlang compiler couldn't
compile the resulting .erl file, produced from a ANSI-C.yrl grammar.
So igparser.yrl has been growing by adding rules to it when needed.

BTW: If someone would be interested, here is the ANSI-C yecc grammar:
