Re: [cdt-dev] Mapping a name to include statement

["Dmitry Smirnov" <divis1969@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Peter,

it is some kind of static analysis I need to implement. It does not
relate to Eclipse CDT editor/refactoring. I'm just using CDT parser
for this task.
The code I will deal with is mostly pure C, not C++, so my task is
much easier I hope :-)

Moreover, I do not posess any deep knowledge of the programming
languages and parsers
In any case, I will share any thoughts (or code) I have with my
pleasure if you wish.

Dmitry
