[cfe-dev] creating and walking the AST

[Guoping Long]

Hi, Josef

   I just went through this process several weeks ago. Those tutorials are
too old to suit new revisions of Clang.
   Attached is an simple (runnable) program to experiment the uninitialized
variables analysis (implemented in
tools/clang/lib/Analysis/UninitializedValues.cpp).
   Hope this helps.
