C++ parser stability & completeness [message #57656]

[Apologies if this is answered elsewhere, pointers appreciated if so].

I'm considering some C++ analysis tools, so require access to parse
trees --> am interested in whether the cdt parser will fit the bill.

For example,

. does it parse all c++ (e.g. method bodies as well as declarations,
templates)?
. Is the parse tree structure documented? If so, where?
. How to access the parse tree? (e.g. API?)
. any platform limitations? (e.g. windows-isms not handled?)

Many thanks.

Hi!

My small experiments in this sphere revealed that C++ code parsing in CDT
is not very complicated and I think there are no any documentation on it.
Source code you can find in org.eclipse.cdt.core plugin in 2 packages:
org.eclipse.cdt.internal.parser and
org.eclipse.cdt.internal.parser.generated

May I be curious about your interest in C++ analysis tools if it is not a
secret?

If you need more data you may want to look
at gccxml http://www.gccxml.org

this is a gcc hack that dumps xml for the
the symbols in the code from the symbol table

At this point, no.
The C/C++ parser in the CDT is incomplete, the first try
was/is base on the public one available in JavaCC.
