The untyped C++ parser is fine, as far as I know. There is a calc++ example in 
the distribution which shows how to use locations for error reporting. The 
typed one may have a problem with the variants, but perhaps that can be fixed 
with std::variant of C++17, the latter which GCC supports, though there seems 
to be no developer right now.
