[cfe-dev] Source code documentation

[Stefan Seefeld]

Hello,

I have been watching the CLang project for a while, as I'm interested in 
using it for my own project. I'm developing Synopsis 
(http://synopsis.fresco.org), which started as a multi-language code 
documentation tool, but became actually quite a bit more powerful.

Synopsis is a very modular tool, written in Python, which loads 
different parsers (Python, IDL, C, C++) to generate an internal 
representation (parse tree, semantic graph, etc.), which then is further 
transformed or processed, such as into API documentation, or even new 
source code.

I'd be very interested in using CLang as parser backend for C and C++, 
and possibly even more for AST transformations (such as code generation).

I read on http://clang.llvm.org/OpenProjects.html that there are plans 
to write a code documentation tool based on CLang, so I'd like to know 
whether any such work has already started, so as to avoid duplicating 
effort.

Also, would anybody be interested in bindings between Synopsis and 
CLang, even to the point of - gasp - helping ? :-)

Thanks,
         Stefan
