No way. You don't have to parse to the very detail. To parse the
implementations
you would have to use something like:

FunctionImpl --> Header '{' CodeLines '}'
Header --> String '(' Arguments ')'  /* Here you catch the func name &
arguments */
CodeLines --> CodeLine ';' CodeLines |
                              '{' CodeLines '}'        /* For code blocs */

CodeLine --> /* do nothing */

No much more than this level of detail. See what I mean?
