[cfe-dev] contributing a Python class representation for C++ code to LLVM

[Vedant Kumar via cfe-dev]

Hi Jonathan,

This looks pretty useful.

I'd like to see parts of cppmodel.py adapted and added as tests to clang/bindings/python/tests/cindex. I only took a cursory look, but it seems that there may be a few things your code covers that our tests don't. E.g cindex.CursorKind.NAMESPACE.

I don't think pulling the interface-generator itself into clang is feasible due to the maintenance overhead. Have you thought about integrating it with swig?

thanks
vedant
