[cfe-dev] looking for an AST traversal example

[Garrison Venn]

Attached is a very non-complete, and simple example which I created awhile
back. Even though this it uses RecursiveASTVisitor, one can get 
the basics on how to use ASTConsumers from it. One caveat here is that
if you do want to use RecursiveASTVisitor, you must really have a good
understanding of tablegen generated header files such as DeclNodes.inc.
Using these files, along with redefined macros, is where the real power
of RecursiveASTVisitor manifests itself (IMHO). The second caveat is that there
is no cleanup here. For example I'm including headers (such as some JIT 
stuff), which I do not need. This was just a quick hack which got me started.

Hope this helps

Garrison

PS: This example was tested with TOT
