are there plans to provide access to the parser's
produced AST (parse tree) for external programs ?
As it was discussed numerous times, this would benefit
source code analysis tools a lot.
I'm myself writing a little (GPLed) source code documentation
tool ('synopsis'), which accesses the AST through language
specific parser backends. I'v a running IDL parser, based on
the omniidl tool, and I did some work on a C++ parser, based
on the openc++ code. Being able to use the compiler directly
would be most beneficial for a couple of obvious reasons.
Regards, Stefan
