Re: [cdt-dev] Modifiable AST

[Emanuel Graf <egraf@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I and Leo Büttiker are the two students working on the projects 
mentioned by Guido.

Currently we are analyzing the cdt source code in order to get familiar 
with the cdt and to identify the relevant packages. Afterwards we will 
define the changes needed. I'll also have a look at the AST in the JDT 
to follow the pattern used there. Are there some documents available 
about the architectural plans for the CDT?

We would be glad to get some hints for a better start.

Greetings
Emanuel Graf
