Description
I searched for a parser generator library that can parse my pest grammar file with few modifications and output C++{11,17} code. Unfortunately I did not find anything.
If pest had pluggable backends and could output parser source code in various languages, that would be really fantastic and would give it yet another advantage over other parsers.
Is anything like that planned / possible?
Probably depends on #158.

Research direction
Start by reading this issue together with the referenced #158 to understand the proposed scope for pluggable backends. The payload names no files, tests, or entry points; completion would require defining and implementing a design for generating parser source in multiple target languages, including C++.
