[GCC-XML] Help interpreting gccxml description in order to better translate its description

[Beatrice]

Hi!

I am part of the Italian translation team of Debian. We work, among
other things on the translations of the package descriptions.

The description of libgccxml-dev package in Debian quotes part of your
webpage description of gccxml, particularly this sentence:

«There is one C++ parser, the C++ front-end to GCC, which is currently
able to deal with the language in its entirety. The purpose of the
GCC-XML extension is to generate an XML description of a C++ program
from GCC's internal representation.»

We are trying to find an agreement on how to translate this. Can you
please tell me if, when you
say "There is one..." you mean :

a) There is "1" (as in there is "only 1")

or

b) There is a C++ parser....

Thanks,

beatrice

On don't think we can assign full mathematical veracity to such a statement.
Therefore you should probably translate from "There is a C++ parser."

(I have doubt that the number of C++ parser able to deal really with the language in its entirety is even 1 (because I've been told, C++ is not context-free, so you need information from the back end to be able to "parse" "correctly" C++) ; and if you consider that the C++ front-end ot GCC is able to do that, then nowadays, there are probably more than 1 parsers that are able to do the same).
