C syntax checker using Java [closed]

Question

For my java project I need to check a code written in C for errors and syntax ... Is there any API or anyother Java implementation of C syntax and error checker?

Answer 1

You could invoke a C compiler in Java and parse the results.

An alternative could be Ideone.com, since they offer an API.

What is ideone? Ideone is something more than a pastebin; it's an online compiler and debugging tool which allows to compile and run code online in more than 40 programming languages.

Answer 2

That's pretty broad, but it looks like antlr might be the tool you need. There's a load of grammars available, including one for C.
