KDevelop does not use that parser-generator. KDevelop's C++ parser code is
nowadays mostly hand-crafted (it was originally generated, but its beeing
manually worked on since various years now). So you'll have to dive into
that C++ code and its anything but easy as far as I know, you'll have to
have good knowledge about how parsers work, how the KDevelop language
infrastructure works and Qt/KDE in general as well.
