I would be very interested in a universal intermediate format for all
the interface generators. I'm still using a version of Guido's old bgen,
now grudgingly extended to handle C++ and do bidirectional bridging
between Python and C++, and while I love and cherish the code generator
the C++ parser is, uhm... challenging. Parsing C++ with per-line regular
expressions is no fun:-)
I looked at gccxml at some point, as well as at some of the competing
Python interface generators, but it went nowhere. gccxml output is far
too detailed, and the output is too much of a simple parse tree to be of
any use. The intermediate formats of the other interface generators I
looked at were all too inaccessible.
Maybe we can come up with something decent in this group?
This sounds like a good topic for the CAPI-sig group, rather than for
c.l.py. I suggest keeping subsequent discussion there.
