Essentially I would like a feature similair to gccxml (www.gccxml.org) that is officially blessed and native to the compiler instead of some out-of-date hack. If a feature like this were to be officially supported, it would open the doors to many applications who might want to use the gcc to parse its files for them.
It is a good idea, with minimal impact, it just requires a "forked" gcc to have its features. -- Summary: Generate an XML dump of the parse tree Product: gcc Version: 4.3.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: driver AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: jrevans1 at earthlink dot net http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43334
