> I've recently compiled Clang and LLVM on Windows. My goal is to use it to translate from C++ to another language (specifically Actionscript), but I'm not sure the best way to go about this. For example, if I invoke clang with the -ast-print "pretty print" option, it looks like Clang can get a faithful representation of the original code from its internal AST. Do I need to somehow mimic that code so I get a pretty print in my new language? Or should I walk the AST tree? Thanks for any help!

Have a look at the ObjC Rewriter (in lib/Rewrite), it convert Obj-C to C, so this is close to what you're looking for.
