Btw, I wouldn't necessarily try to parse exactly those dump format -
streamlining it for
easier parsing would be ok, especially for the basic-block markers.
There was a request
multiple times to make it easier to adjust a function cut&pasted from
a dump produced
by -fdump-tree to valid C (thus accepted by gcc). One annoying
road-block is how we
dump labels and goto destinations.
