[cfe-dev] Clang Tools

[Mohammad Adil]

I am in the process of writing a rewriter program. In fact, it is almost
complete and it uses the clang internal api to process and rewriter a file
(I create an ast and use astconsumer and visitor to parse it).
Unfortunately, I am unable to find all c++ standard library paths
effectively. Some one in this mailing list suggested that I should convert
this to a clang tool. By "building separately from clang", I mean that I
should be able to keep my tool separate from clang and build and use it
separately from clang. The .json file method requires that my tool be
present in the clang directory and built along with clang. Is there any
other method to build stand-alone tools that compile just like any other
clang program.
