[cfe-dev] Mapping Clang C code AST to Code

[Carlos Andrade]

I am interested on seeing this sort of information on the tree. Do you believe it would be hard to implement this given what information the other parts that already exist get the tree? I could contribute to it. Few pointers where to look into the source would be very appreciated.

Specifically I want to see code lines and the values of operators etc. 

Best,

The AST-printing facilities do not print well-formed code, and the XML dumps are both incomplete and not necessarily well structured for anything other than debugging the compiler. That's why both options are hidden behind the compiler's internal -cc1 interface.
