One can use templates—in the example below, B is the parser, and A the semantic 
type. That would be using C++ paradigms rather than writing the code directly.

--
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

namespace mu {
  class A {};

  template<typename T>
  class B {
  public:
    typedef T A;
  };
}

int main () {
  mu::B<mu::A>::A a;
  mu::A b;

  return 0;
}
