[cfe-dev] Adding custom pragma to Clang

[Alexandre Isoard via cfe-dev]

Hi,

It might be interesting to look at http://repo.or.cz/w/pet.git

They create new PragmaHandler that are called by clang when processing
pragma (see pet.cc). The problem is that (if I remember correctly) it
happens before semantic processing and it is therefore hard to match them
to actual loops or objects, at that time you mostly have access to the line
number.

Maybe using a secondary pass on the clang ast to add the attributes is all
that is needed.

Regards.
