Re: [cdt-dev] Using Eclipse CDT's Parser in a Standalone Refactoring Tool
|
Hi thanks for the replies all. I guess what I wanted to know was whether or not the CDT parser in the CDT library can easily be used for an external tool.
I've heard that it doesn't really work well for something like this as it's too closely integrated with the Eclipse IDE. Are there any external tool projects which use aspects of the CDT package (maybe not necessarily the parser)
which I could look at? I noticed a post from way back that someone was considering using the parser for a static code analysis tool.
Cheers

I guess the CDT parser is well suited for this as there is already a
C++ refactoring plugin, see:
http://r2.ifs.hsr.ch/cdtrefactoring
C refactoring enhancements/extensions will be welcome.
