Hello,
I heard that writing a complete C++ parser is very hard, but I was
wondering if Coccinelle could be made to work on C++ codebases
only handling the C subset of the language and ignoring what it does not
treat.
If the whole AST is needed than this is probably unfeasable, but if
smaller units can be handled independently then maybe very simple
transformations like renaming functions or dropping arguments could be
still done, ignoring whether the code is within a function or a method call.
The only open source C++ code transformation tool I have heard of is
Pork but it is much more difficult to set up and use than Coccinelle at
the moment so it would be nice to be able to do relatively easy things
in C++ or mixed C/C++ codebases.
thanks
Jani
