Hello Dmitri,
Thank you for your answer. Although I didn't tell, I was already able to
generate the output of the astdumper to a file (without using the flag,
just reusing the AstDumper class) when building through Xcode. I understand
that the output is irregular, but I plan to eventually modify the dumper
according to my needs to make the output usable.
Also, I will take a deeper look at SourceKit. It seems to be the correct
way to do it. Thank you very much for the tip.
Thanks,
Marcel
