RE: [cdt-dev] Using Eclipse CDT's Parser in a Standalone RefactoringTool
|
If you want to work with the CDT parser, I recommend to use
CDT projects for that (Why would you not do so?).
However, it is possible to use the parser on files
outside of CDT projects.
The parser can create abstract syntax trees (interface
IASTTranslationUnit) and can be used to populate an index (interface IIndex).
You will have to
decide by yourself whether or not the CDT parser meets your needs.

Hi I'm currently an student doing a project which involves creating
a program capable of representing a C project (files, functions...etc)
visually and which will allow the user to perform simple higher as well as
lower-level refactorings via the graphical interface itself. I originally
intended to use the GCC translation framework available with ANTLR for the job
of parsing the C files and source code in but someone else recommended that I
perhaps consider Eclipse CDT's parser instead.
I was wondering if I
could get some feedback as to whether the CDT parser would be well suited for
a project of this nature. Ideally the parser would be capable of catering for
preprocessor directives, be able to read in different C files as a single
project and perform code transformations with ease. It would also be much
appreciated if I could perhaps be pointed to other standalone projects,
examples which use the CDT parser in this manner or maybe even tutorials if
they exist. Thanks alot in
advance
Cheers
