Hello GCC developers, Has anyone ever tried to build a scripting interface into the guts of GCC with something like SWIG ?
I am currently working on a program where I want to embed a portion of another program into my project. It would be very nice if I could use a static call graph from my entry points to hoist out the code I need. I know that for non-technical reasons gcc has not been modularized in the past (from a reading of digests). But how about taking a swig like approach where a scripting interface is bolted onto the guts of the compiler ? For now I will probably try and strip off the dead-code from the object files after compilation to avoid the complexity of figuring dependencies at a source level, but I wondered if the idea resonated with any of the experts here. cheers, Mike Mattie
