I've put up the current state of the parser here,
   http://brasko.net:81/bob/gdbmi_parser.tar

Basically, use at your own risk. Hopefully, in the near future, I'm
going to get the parser to an acceptable state to sumbit to GDB.

Several months ago I tested the parser against the gdb.mi testsuite
directory, and made sure that all MI output commands complied with the
grammar. They did, with a few minor changes to the grammar.

untar, run make, and with the executable made run './main b'.
That will test the front end against a few MI output commands that are
in the file called 'b'.
