This is after a rather large dinner with wine, so I hope it helps. 
I don't understand the difference between the parse tree and the AST. I only have one tree, but maybe that's because I'm only doing C++ whereas you're converting one language to another.
Once I have a subtree for something that is "executable" (e.g. an enum, typedef, data declaration or definition, function declaration or definition), I invoke a virtual EnterBlock function on its root, which is like invoking an interpreter. Each node invokes EnterBlock on its descendants, so it proceeds depth first. A QualName (a possibly qualified name) or DataSpec (a QualName tagged with pointers, references, and/or const) implements this by resolving its name based on the current scope. I hope this is what you mean by "getting the type information". It also causes stuff to be pushed onto the operand (types) and operator stacks.
Could this wait until all of the code is parsed? I don't see why not, and I don't see how it would be more or less efficient. In fact, name resolution can occur later if there are errors during the parsing or interpretation. If you run the >check tool on the code, one of the things it does (to clean up #include lists) is to ask each file for all of the things that it uses. Any nodes that have names but that weren't "interpreted" because an error caused them to be skipped will then try to resolve their names.

That's what I've been doing. I think i just need to implement a more efficient visit on the tree i'm using.
Maybe i'll make it so it can visit only marked nodes.

It's sunny here too. Wall to wall sunshine and blue skies. Nary a cloud.
-15 right now, but it's a dry cold and the sun feels nice on your numb face.

Living in x, it's grey and cold here. Quite the contrast from 74 and "clear with periodic clouds" in y.Key.Key 
But hey, I moved to the East Coast from San Diego years ago to experience actual seasons and weather.

but does Kent Sharkey really exist? Same with Sean, does he really exist?

I do not.
Chris wrote me back in grad school. If I weren't still running on that PDP-11, I'd thank him. 
Sean on the other hand, is great. I think he's on the other rack though.

If you ever reach MVP / MVE on CP, you'll know that Sean does indeed exist. And has the most deplorable taste in "clothes".
Mankinis are not a good look, and when he is standing there on your doorstep to deliver eth Certificate dressed only in a red mankini and a thin layer of oil, you do begin to wish he perhaps didn't. He is the reason why "Casual Friday" was banned in Toronto after just one week.

It's just like a rodeo, but instead of breaking a horse you are breaking the Minifier.
Maybe we should refer to you as "Bronco Peter" in the new year.

So I ran into the Dangling else[^] problem but I thought I could solve it using an open ended where constraint in my grammar, possibly enabling backtracking i wouldn't need who cares.
Anyway, turns out nobody usually tries to parse languages with LL based parser generators in part because of problems like this.
So there's no easy doc on how to adjust an LL parser to fix the problem, and my parser seems to be hanging up on it - by choosing the wrong one (either that or there's a bug somewhere else in my grammar), i haven't fully pinpointed it yet.
I don't know what to do. I can solve it using a virtual production (where I take over the parse) but i only want to use those as a last resort
I think I figured it out. There was a bug in my grammar that wasn't helping.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.
