Re: [cdt-dev] AST for a C++ project

[Corbat Thomas <thomas.corbat@xxxxxx>]

Yes exactly. If you don't specify the flags the whole compilation unit should be parsed.

If I got your intention correctly, I think it should be feasible to use the index to find such locations. But this will not give you AST nodes to work with, but only IIndexNames. But if the location of such a name is within the project you can parse the translation unit of the corresponding file and get the AST.

Thanks Thomas.

When you say "what flags", I suppose you mean the following command:
tu.getAST(index, aFlag);// e.g., aFlag = ITranslationUnit.AST_SKIP_INDEXED_HEADERS


Essentially what I am trying to achieve is the following:
Parse a C++ project and find some nodes (e.g., function calls) that belong to a specific namespace. 

Initially, I tried to achieve this through the index. However, there is the problem that a compilation unit (using the flag I say above) was only parsing a single C++ file. So not all nodes of interest were captured.
That's why I need to create the AST of the entire C++ project. However, I'd like to avoid creating AST for "conventional" libraries such as std etc.

Thanks again.
