Re: gcc able to output identifiers?

The compiler has no option to produce a complete list.  There are
various approaches you can take to get this information, though I'm not
sure that any of them are guaranteed 100% complete.  For example, you
could look at the debugging information.

In current development gcc, not yet released, you might be able to write
a plugin for this.  http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/plugins .
