Hi

How easy would be make simple parser for C/C++ by tcl ?

I would want to make tcl-script, which searchs all functions/methods and entry/exit points of functions/methods from C/C++-source file.

I think this should be possible, but i don't know how.
Hi Esa,
Michael already directed you to the page on the wiki which is probably
the best starting point for parsing C.

As for C++, there is no such thing as a "simple parser". Think of
classes, function and operator overloading, namespaces and - the most
terrible of all (in terms of parsing) - templates.
Just my 0.02
Best regards

Ok .. i understand, but i think it would be exist simpler way to detect only things i want. I don't want to parse all code. Maybe i do not need parser at all ?

Maybe i can do that by "regexp" or "string match" by investigating many rows of code at same time ?

I only want to detect row numbers of certain things (what i described before).
