[cdt-dev] Eclipse CDT - Get the definition of a C++ method when I have t

[HAIDUC SONIA <haiduc_sonia@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

I am trying to extract the source code of all C++ classes from  a C++ program, and I need to get, for each class, its whole source code, i.e., with both the definition of the class and the declaration of its methods from a header file and the definition of its methods from a source file. I am able to get the definition of the class, including the declaration of its methods, by using the following code:

HashSet<ITranslationUnit> transUnits = new HashSet<ITranslationUnit>();

ISourceRoot roots[] = project.getSourceRoots();

for (ISourceRoot root:roots){

transUnits.addAll(Arrays.asList(root.getTranslationUnits()));

}

for (ITranslationUnit translationUnit:transUnits){

if (translationUnit.isCXXLanguage()){

ICElement elems[] = TypeUtil.getTypes(translationUnit);

for (int i=0;i<elems.length;i++)

if (TypeUtil.isClass(elems[i])){

String classDeclarationCode = ((IStructure)elem).getSource();

}

}

}

This gets me the definitions of classes from header files, including the declarations of their methods. However, I still need to get the definition of the class' methods, which are not in the header file. I have been going around this for several days now, and I could not find a solution to this. 

I managed to get the method declarations from the header file, by using the following code:

List<ICElement> methodDeclarationsClass = new ArrayList<ICElement>();

methodDeclarationsClass.addAll(((IStructure)elem).getChildrenOfType(ICElement.C_METHOD_DECLARATION));

String methodDeclarationCode;

for (int i = 0; i<methodDeclarationsClass.size(); i++) {

methodDeclarationCode = ((IMethodDeclaration)methodDeclarationsClass.get(i)).getSource();

}

, but I can't get form this to the method definitions... I would really appreciate some help on this, as I am kinda stuck... 

Thanks a lot!
