Python C and C++ parsing abstraction layer #265

Open KOLANICH opened 3 years ago

KOLANICH commented 3 years ago

Project description

There are multiple libs for parsing C and C++ in python, :

clang bindings - the best one, but very large, since requires clang
https://github.com/CastXML/pygccxml + https://github.com/CastXML/CastXML
https://github.com/srcML/srcML - a yet another standalone tool (without a dedicated python lib consuming its output)
https://github.com/eliben/pycparser
https://github.com/myint/cppclean
https://github.com/robotpy/robotpy-cppheaderparser

In other words, BeautifulSoup for C++ AST.
