This page explains what Treehydra is: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Treehydra_Manual >Treehydra is meant to be used for analyses that need more detail than >Dehydra's flattened ASTs. Instead of representing code in "easy" form like >Dehydra, Treehydra relies on GIMPLE, the GCC Internals "middle-end" >intermediate representation.< This is Dehydra, that's quite simpler to use: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Dehydra Dehydra for example allows to add JavaScript callbacks to the compiler: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Dehydra/Function_Reference >Callback Functions The following functions may be provided by the analysis >script and will be called by Dehydra while compiling. See the Dehydra object >reference for details on the available object properties.< The nicer page about Dehydra can be this one: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Dehydra/Object_Reference >Dehydra represents C++ types and variables as JavaScript objects. The objects >are designed to distill that type system to the minimum such that it can be >easy to match on.< All those properties are present for all the variables, functions, etc, of the C++ code. Such static reflexivity can be useful in D too, to extend the type system a little, for user-defined properties, as a starting point to implement macros. Bye, bearophile
