Interesting article about Microsoft Visual Studio starting to support the clang compiler front-end for parsing code:

Any thoughts of doing something similar for Eclipse CDT? It would alleviate a lot of the parsing and indexing issues of complex code frequently encountered, and now with C++ evolving more rapidly than ever before, it may save some work in the long run.
