Description:	TenDRA is an implementation of TDF, which was adopted by the Open Group, where it is called ANDF. Its core is a binary format, TDF, which can be architecture-neutral or architecture-specific, and which can be conveniently manipulated.
Conformance:	They claim, very conformant. The package includes implementation-independent descriptions of the ISO C API, POSIX, XPG3 and other APIs.
Reference:	http://www.gr.osf.org/andf/
Features:	+ Well-documented; clean implementation + includes the relevant tools (lexer, parser generator, etc.) - Does not have an extensive C++ library (either API or implementation), and producing this is probably non-trivial + can dump symbol table to file, providing the raw materials for further analysis (type, function, variable, usage, etc.) + can perform analysis for portability, with fine-grained control + reports syntax errors with ISO reference + producers (C/C++ to TDF translators) are portable - installers (TDF to executable translators, and API implementations) exist for a limited number of platforms
