[cfe-dev] Type Information for C++ classes

[Mohammad Adil]

My purpose is to overload the << operator for all classes if they don't
already have one. The basic goal is to make all classes serializable over
some stream (ideally a network stream). Is that possible with clang? If
yes, How do I find all the member variables and functions of a class or
struct?
