[cfe-dev] looking for a C++ header file parser

[mats petersson]

You can get the Clang to do this, yes.

Depending on exactly what you need to do with the data, you may be fine to
just (automatically?) produce a file that includes the base-header-file,
and then pass that to `clang -Xclang -ast-dump -fsyntax-only
yourfile-here.c`, and capture that output (perhaps with
-fno-color-diagnostics to make it more machine readable) - along with some
post-processing (e.g. some shell script or python code to parse that).

Otherwise, you will need to use clang and it's tool helpers as a library
and build a small C++ program that invokes clang and retrieves the AST as a
data-structure, and then work on that (again, depends on exactly what you
want to achieve).
