Title: Use the Source
Proposer: dietmar_kuehl
Type: Tutorial
Duration: 90 minutes
Description: Using C or C++ source for any user created tool used to be near impossible due to the complexity of the languages, especially for C++. The open source compiler clang <http://clang.llvm.org/> provides access to its internal data structures exposing all details of the source via a library interface. This library provides a basis for various tools like code-completion hints, static analysis, code transformations, etc. This presentation gives an introduction to create your own tool using C++ source.

Roger: Yes from me (Clang is getting a lot of use for 'meta' tasks)
Ewan: I don't know anything about Clang I must admit, but do keep seeing the name. So a Probable YES
Roger: I've had a couple of positive reports of his London talk (I couldn't make it)
