Hello Phil,

This maybe the blind leading the blind, but have you seen Douglas' talk 
about libclang (http://llvm.org/devmtg/2011-11/index.html) and extending 
clang the year before (http://llvm.org/devmtg/2010-11/)?

There's an example extracting function names in the example directory. 
I'd also study c-index-test source, which does AST walking.

Hope that get you started, Ed.

Thanks Ed, I finished listening to his talk a few minutes before your message arrived !

Just trying to get a skeletal program to build at the moment... It looks like it's the way in I was after ;-)
