Source: gccxml Severity: wishlist Brad King, the main author of GCC-XML, announced "CastXML, a successor to GCC-XML", on 2015-03-26: http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/gccxml/2015-March/003205.html
It's likely that GCC-XML will not be further maintained (see http://www.gccxml.org/) and it's not clear whether anyone will manage to port gccxml to arm64 or other new architectures. Therefore it would be good to add castxml to Debian, and I'm filing the bug here as it affects the future of gccxml. I was able to build CastXML on Debian unstable with this recipe yesterday: apt-get install --no-install-recommends build-essential cmake \ libclang-3.6-dev libedit-dev llvm-3.6-dev zlib1g-dev # Work around bug #785931 in llvm-3.6-dev (still present in 1:3.6.1-1): mkdir -p /usr/lib/llvm-3.6/share ln -s /usr/share/llvm-3.6 /usr/lib/llvm-3.6/share/llvm git clone https://github.com/CastXML/CastXML.git cd CastXML/ mkdir build cd build/ cmake .. make bin/castxml --help There's an option "--castxml-gccxml" which might be helpful. If anyone can try getting one of the Debian packages that currently use gccxml to use castxml instead perhaps they could report on their experience here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
