Hi, I'm Roel Meeuws a dutch MSc. student that is working on a project involving software metrics. I need a program that can determine a wide variety of code metrics based on control flow graphs and abstract syntax trees. While browsing the internet I found that there are no good GPL'ed metrication tools out there and I decided to build one myself.
In order to build a metrication tool I need a frontend that can provide me with an abstract syntax tree containing information on all actual language constructs in the code and also a CFG representation. I reckon GCC has these capabilities and I was wondering if any of you could tell me if it is possible to use just GCC's frontend. Furthermore, where should I start, how do I extract the frontend from GCC, which of the intermediate GCC representation could I use, are they documented? I would like to thank you in advance for any help you can give me. kind regards, Roel -- Roel Meeuws Delft University of Technology Faculty of Electrical Engineering Mathematics and Computer Science Computer Engineering Laboratory Mekelweg 4, 2628 CD Delft, The Netherlands -------------------------------------------- Email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Office phone: +31 (0)6 10 82 44 01 --------------------------------------------
